TallyScan vs. Traditional Manual Entry: A Comparison
1 min read
#Efficiency#Comparison#ROI
When you're a small team, every minute counts. But is switching to an automated tool like TallyScan really worth the effort? We decided to break down the numbers.
The Manual Entry Reality
On average, manually processing a single invoice—from finding the email to typing it into a spreadsheet—takes about 4 minutes. For a business with 50 invoices a month, that's over 3 hours of focused, repetitive work.
The TallyScan Advantage
With TallyScan, that same process takes about 5 seconds of "passive" time (the time it takes to forward an email). The AI handles the heavy lifting in the background.
| Metric | Manual Entry | TallyScan |
|---|---|---|
| Time per Invoice | 4 Minutes | 5 Seconds |
| Error Rate | ~4% | <0.1% |
| Mental Drain | High | Zero |
Our Take
Automation isn't just about saving minutes; it's about eliminating the "drudge work" that prevents founders from focusing on growth. If you value your time at more than $20/hour, the ROI of automation is undeniable.
