The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In information records departments, correspondence clerks waste valuable time calculating fees for record requests, drafting payment letters in Microsoft Word, and tracking unpaid invoices in Excel. Each request requires referencing complex fee schedules and updating templates by hand. Small mistakes can lead to delayed payments, compliance violations, and extra follow-up with requesters. The manual process drains time and creates unnecessary stress.
