Case Study: From 17.5 Hours of Manual Work to Instant Invoicing & Faster Cash Flow
Overview: A Fast-Growing Business Struggling with Manual Finance Processes
For businesses offering high-volume design and renovation services, inefficient financial operations don’t just waste time - they delay revenue, create cash flow uncertainty, and limit scalability.
One of the UAE’s leading wrapping and interior transformation companies, specialising in kitchen wrapping, home upgrades, and commercial fit-outs, faced serious inefficiencies in its invoicing and cash flow processes.
With a diverse range of projects, from floor wrapping to full office transformations, the company was growing rapidly—but their finance function wasn’t keeping up. They were dealing with:
- ⏳ 17.5 hours per week lost to manual invoicing.
- 📉 Late payments due to slow invoice processing.
- 💰 Unstable cash flow, making financial planning difficult.
Despite strong demand, slow financial processes were creating unnecessary bottlenecks. That’s when Finalytics stepped in.
The Challenge: A Slow, Manual Process Hurting Cash Flow
Before working with Finalytics, the company’s invoicing and reconciliation processes were time-consuming, error-prone, and a drag on efficiency:
- ⏳ Heavy Admin Burden – Each invoice took 10-15 minutes to create, review, and send. With 100+ invoices per week, the finance team lost 17.5 hours weekly on admin.
- 📉 Delayed Payments & Unstable Cash Flow – Slow invoicing caused customer payment delays, leading to cash flow unpredictability.
- 🔄 Complex Reconciliation – Payments weren’t automatically linked to invoices, creating tracking errors and reporting delays.
🚨 The impact? Revenue was getting stuck in inefficient processes, slowing down business growth.
The Solution: Automating the Entire Quote-to-Cash Process
Finalytics implemented end-to-end finance automation, eliminating inefficiencies and ensuring seamless invoicing, faster payments, and real-time financial visibility.
