Produktivitätsverlust durch manuelle Freelancer-Abrechnung und Zahlungsfreigaben

Definition

Local Australian PSPs advertise simplified billing, automated reconciliation, and centralised dashboards precisely because many businesses still manage payments piecemeal, which is more expensive administratively.[1][4][5] In a typical marketing agency engaging dozens of freelancers, project managers and finance staff spend time collecting invoices, checking PO alignment, entering vendor details, initiating individual bank transfers, and handling payment status queries. Assuming 10–15 minutes of internal work per freelancer invoice (intake, checking, coding, payment), a shop processing 100–300 such invoices per month expends around 200–750 hours annually on manual payment processing alone. Valued at AUD 40–80 per hour for finance or PM staff, this equates to AUD 8,000–60,000 of non‑billable labour each year. End‑to‑end payment infrastructure that integrates with accounting and supports batch payouts can cut the handling time per invoice by 50–70%, recapturing 100–500 hours annually.[1][4][5]

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Marketing agencies in Australia 🇦🇺 waste 400–1,500 Stunden pro Jahr an nicht fakturierbarer Arbeit für Freelancer-Zahlungen. Automatisierung von Erfassung, Freigabe und Sammelüberweisungen gibt diesen Kapazitäten für abrechenbare Kundenarbeit frei.
