- 6How to get a vendor to actually fix a billing errorVendors often double-charge or overbill and then stall for months, forcing you to chase them or escalate the issue to high-level management just to get your money back. Instead of issuing prompt refunds, companies frequently try to push unwanted service credits for future months. This leaves you trapped financing their mistakes while wasting valuable time trying to reverse unauthorized charges.
- 4Why do invoice automation tools fail on minor text mismatches?Automated parsing systems break down when vendor invoices use different phrasing than the original purchase order, such as billing in units instead of pallets. This forces accounts payable clerks to route minor discrepancies through manual approvals and buyers, leaving simple invoices stuck in limbo for days.
- 2Why does paying vendor invoices take so much manual work?Vendor invoices arrive scattered across email and Slack, forcing founders to manually check, log into the bank, execute ACH payments, and reconcile the books one by one. This repetitive admin work eats up hours every week, turning simple supplier payments into a tedious operational bottleneck.
