Study after study shows that even in these highly organized paper-based systems, it still takes an average of six minutes to pull and re-file a chart.
How much is your paper costing you?
If an organization processes high volumes of paper each day, the example below is a good estimate of how much money your paper is costing you:
-
Company generates or receives 100 important paper documents per day that must be filed.
100 documents x 6 minutes to file each = 600 minutes filing per day
600 minutes per day = 10 hours of labor per day
10 hours per day x $15 per hour (inclusive of benefits and burdens) = $150 per day
$150 per day x 250 working days per year = $37,500 per year
