The Cost of Processing a Form the 'Old Way'
There are a number of steps on a business process form's path. The following all contribute to cost, delays and inefficiencies.
- A typical business form will be routed to between 2 and 4 or more people before it is complete. Whether faxed, mailed or placed into a tray, this takes time.
- Cost of printing, faxing and mailing.
- Lost forms.
- Before a form is completed it may need to be located several times along the way before it is finalized. Locating a paper document in a large organization can cost a lot of time.
The estimated processing cost per form is between $2 and $20 depending on the nature of the form and the organization.
Cost Saving Example
- Overall cost for processing a typical form excluding time costs for completing form.
|
|
$5 |
- Forms filled (of all types) per employee per year.
|
|
20 |
- Cost to the company per annum per 100 employees.
|
|
$10,000 |
If you do not have a formal forms driven system in place then you can stand to save much more than this due to far higher savings in efficiency. |
