Unbillige Dienstleistungen und Rechnungsverlusteausfälle
Definition
Manual cost allocation processes in IT maintenance create systemic revenue loss through (1) unbilled service hours not captured in billing systems, (2) invoices lost in verification workflows, and (3) hourly rate mismatches between actual work performed (€70-160/hour per [1]) and billed amounts. VDMA data [3] shows IT costs average €6,003 per employee annually; misallocation of even 5% equals €300+ per employee per year in lost recovery.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €300-€1,200 per employee per year (5-10% of annual IT maintenance labor cost at €70-160/hour × 1,200-1,500 billable hours/year)
- Frequency: Continuous; manifests monthly in billing cycles
- Root Cause: Manual cost allocation and billing verification processes lack real-time tracking; no automated cross-check between service delivery logs and invoices
