Unbilanzierte Registrierungsgebühren und fehlende Rechnungsabgrenzung
Definition
IA Meetings explicitly lists 18 event services (accommodation coordination, AV management, interpretation, catering, transport, etc.), yet event registration software (EventsAir, Eventzilla, Billetto) does not automatically link registration data to billable add-ons. Manual invoicing creates gaps: upsells go unbilled, cancellations are not reversed, and group discounts are manually calculated (error-prone). A 300-person conference with 40% add-on uptake = 120 unbilled services × €50–€200/service = €6,000–€24,000 lost revenue.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €3,000–€24,000 annually (typical association: 3–5 events × 200–300 registrants × 40% add-on uptake × 5–10% unbilled rate).
- Frequency: Per event; cumulative across event calendar.
- Root Cause: Disconnect between registration platform and ERP/invoicing system. No automated mapping of add-on services to revenue line items. Manual invoicing process lacks upsell capture logic.
