The Hidden Cost of Human Error: Why Automating Accounting with ERP Is Essential for Printing Companies

A few years ago, I worked with a printing company that was struggling—not because they weren’t getting enough orders, but because their accounting was a disaster.

The owner, James, had built the business from the ground up. He invested in high-quality printers, expanded his client base, and hired a team that worked around the clock to meet deadlines.

But despite the growing sales, his profits were shrinking.

At first, he thought it was just rising material costs. Then he started digging into the numbers… and what he found shocked him.

Invoices were getting lost in the shuffle—some jobs weren’t billed at all.

Double entries were throwing off financial reports—his “profit” on paper wasn’t real.

Miscalculated costs on bulk orders—they were underquoting and losing money.

Cash flow surprises—bills were being paid late, and he had no clear picture of his bank balance.

James wasn’t running a bad business. He was just buried under human errors caused by outdated accounting systems.

And it was killing his profits.
