All 7 Documented Cases
Manual Timesheet Bottleneck से Staff Utilization Loss
₹6,00,000-₹12,00,000 annually: 1.5-2.5 FTE payroll staff @ ₹4,00,000-₹6,00,000 salary + Manager time (20 hours/month @ ₹500/hr × 12 = ₹1,20,000); OR opportunity cost: ₹4,50,000-₹10,50,000 redirected to sales/service deliveryHousehold service operations require daily timesheet collection from 50-200 field staff. Manual process: Staff submit (paper/email), Supervisor verifies, Payroll data-enters, Finance approves, HR flags discrepancies. At 50 employees, this = 30-40 hours/month of payroll staff + 10-15 hours manager verification time. Automation reduces to 5-10 hours/month.
Manual Billing Bottleneck और Technician Idle Time
₹2,00,000–₹5,00,000/year lost revenue (80–150 hours/month × ₹500–₹1,000 average billed rate = ₹40,000–₹150,000/month opportunity loss)Household service technicians or billing staff must manually enter job details, labor hours, parts costs, and taxes into a billing system or paper invoice. This manual process takes 15–30 minutes per invoice. At 20–50 invoices per day, billing absorbs 5–25 hours/week.

Invoice Errors, Refunds, और Customer Disputes
₹50,000–₹300,000/year (assuming 2–5% of invoices are disputed; 1–3% require refunds; 20–50 disputes/refunds per year × ₹2,000–₹10,000 average dispute value + 5–20 hours investigation × ₹1,000/hour = ₹10,000–₹100,000)Household service technicians and billing staff manually enter service details and pricing. Common errors: wrong GST rate (18% vs. 5%), duplicate invoices, wrong customer name, missing service descriptions, rate mismatches. Each error triggers customer complaints, dispute investigations, and potential refunds.

Unbilled Services और Lost Invoice Transactions
₹2,00,000–₹10,00,000/year revenue leakage (3–8% of typical ₹25L–₹1.25Cr annual revenue for mid-size household services firm). At 40% gross margin, this = ₹80,000–₹400,000 profit loss.Household service providers (plumbers, electricians, carpenters) dispatch technicians to customer sites. Without mobile billing integration, technicians complete jobs but don't generate invoices on-site. Result: job sheets pile up, invoices are delayed by days or weeks, and some jobs fall through cracks entirely. Search result [1] mentions VasyERP's 'Hybrid billing for both online & offline use with seamless integration,' implying offline jobs are often unbilled.
