Manual processing: 1-2 hours per application × 30 applications/month = 30-60 labor hours/month × AED 250-350/hour = AED 7,500-21,000/month = AED 90,000-252,000/year. Opportunity cost of lost sales due to capacity: 5-10% revenue leakage during peak demand = AED 250,000-1,000,000+ for mid-market distributor.Current credit approval workflow: Customer submits form + documents via email[1], credit team manually requests missing items, performs document checks (Trade License validity, TRN status, passport/visa verification), and makes approval decision.
