Success Story Deep-Dive

Challenge: Partner Time Wasted Monthly due Time Consuming Billing Processes

Edelstein’s challenges in their billing process included:

  • Low realization rates: inefficient billing processes resulted in missed billable hours, reducing the firm’s realization rates and overall revenue.
  • Time-consuming processes: the manual nature of their billing workflows required significant time and effort, resulting in partners spending hours each month on the billing process and delays in invoicing clients. 

Solution: Increased Profitability and Revenue

By implementing Aiwyn's billing automation solution, Edelstein experienced significant improvements in their billing processes and achieved the following benefits:

  • Increased realization rates: The accurate capture of billable hours and streamlined workflows led to a substantial increase in realization rates. Edelstein was able to bill clients for previously missed billable time, resulting in improved revenue and profitability.
  • Accelerated billing cycle: With Aiwyn's solution, Edelstein reduced the time required to generate and deliver invoices by 2.4 times. This meant faster payments and improved cash flow for the firm. Aiwyn implemented intelligent workflows that automated various stages of the billing process, such as invoice generation, approval workflows, and delivery. This reduced manual intervention and accelerated the overall billing cycle.
  • Error reduction: The automation of data entry and calculations minimized manual errors, ensuring the accuracy of invoices and reducing disputes with clients. This improved overall client satisfaction and strengthened relationships.
  • Enhanced productivity: Aiwyn's solution eliminated manual and repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable time for Edelstein's billing team. They could now focus on higher-value activities, such as engaging with clients and providing exceptional service.
  • Improved decision-making: Real-time reporting and analytics provided by Aiwyn enabled Edelstein to gain valuable insights into their billing performance. They could identify trends, monitor key metrics, and make informed decisions to further optimize their billing processes.

The speed of generating bills and getting them paid has increased significantly over the last few months. We are able to proactively send drafts out as tax returns are completed, alleviating billing disputes and improving our client experience. Aiwyn’s billing automation solution is helping us unlock our true revenue potential.”
