Customer Success Stories
Walsh Electric Supply
Walsh Electric Supply Outsources Invoicing Bob King states, “This year, we predict our total invoicing costs, with INVOICE CONNECTION, will be $9,600. Last year, before we outsourced invoicing, our postage cost alone exceeded $10,000. On top of that we had significant material costs - a mailing machine, preprinted invoice and statement forms, envelopes and printer ribbons, not to mention the time-consuming labor cost of printing, folding, stuffing and mailing. Collectively, we experienced a 50% cost reduction in the first year as a result of outsourcing to INVOICE CONNECTION.” Spaulding adds, “I’m amazed at how simple the transition to INVOICE CONNECTION actually was. The same sales orders we used to process internally are simply uploaded daily to INVOICE CONNECTION and either mailed or delivered electronically. Moving forward, as we continue to educate our customers on electronic delivery and the free benefit of having 24/7 access to their invoices via the Internet, we expect the cost savings to grow well beyond the 50% mark. Our only regret is having not made the switch to INVOICE CONNECTION when we first met with them a year earlier.” |
AMO Electric Supply Co.
Bryan Oberlender, President of AMO Electric states, “Invoice Connection is more of an investment than an expense. The setup time was short and we had virtually no problems when we went live. We send our invoice data directly from our ARRAY accounting software. Invoice Connection has increased our productivity in the office and saved us time, space and money. Our DSO has also improved since we switched. We now focus on getting the money in, not wasting time tearing apart invoices and stuffing them into envelopes. I wholeheartedly recommend Invoice Connection’s invoice delivery service to all construction distributors and any business that tries to mail invoices themselves." |
Allied Electric Supply
Phil Ross, President of Allied Electric Supply (EDN member) outsourced invoice and statement delivery to INVOICE CONNECTION in July, 2005. They produce about 125 invoices per day with their ARRAY software. Phil says, “We were able to replace an expensive high volume mailing machine with one at a fraction of the cost. We are seeing savings on labor, paper, toner and maintenance. As we move forward, more and more of our customers are switching to electronic delivery, which is reducing our costs even more. It is also very convenient for our customers. They can now go directly to the INVOICE CONNECTION website and choose their method of delivery and view their invoices whenever they wish.” |
United States Electric Company
Paul Branham, president of United States Electric Company in Springfield, Illinois, produces 150 - 200 invoices a day. They are members of EQUITY ELECTRICAL ASSOCIATES. Paul said, “Some customers want invoices daily, but other customers don’t even open envelopes till the end of the month. Most of our invoices were manually batched and mailed weekly. Our old invoicing process seemed to be more labor costs than postage. When we outsourced invoicing to INVOICE CONNECTION we reduced invoicing costs by over 50%." |
