Still Manually Coding Invoices? Here’s the Faster (and Cheaper) Way
The Invisible Tax on Cannabis Finance
If your team is re-typing invoice lines by hand, you’re paying three ways:
- Time Drain – average operators burn 18 hours a month just keying data.
- Error Risk – one wrong digit can misstate COGS, wreck 280E allocations, and trigger rework at audit time.
- Lost Leverage – by the time you notice price creep, the vendor’s already been paid.
Multiply that by 12 months: hello, five-figure burn.
How MainStem Eliminates the Grind
- Pull – supplier invoice (PDF, EDI, or portal) lands in MainStem.
- Match – OCR reads it, snaps every line to the originating PO.
- Code – pre-mapped GL accounts, classes, and departments fill in automatically.
- Push – clean data syncs to QuickBooks, Sage, or Dynamics.
- Flag – any variance outside your tolerance triggers an alert before approval.
Average human typing per invoice: zero.
Real Results—Not Hype
- Theory Wellness shaved two full finance days off every month-end close.
- Solar Cannabis auto-matched 95 % of invoices in month one, freeing staff to focus on cash-flow strategy.
