Where the hours go
Typing becomes checking.Chasing gets shorter.
thruflow reads each document and fills in the entry, so someone checks it rather than types it. Reminders and statements go out in one click with a pay link, and customers can see and pay what's open in their portal.

How we worked it out
No black box.Just the sums.
Every number in the estimate comes from these lines, with your figures in them. Change anything above and they change with it.
- Time is valued at what an hour costs you. We don't assume anyone leaves; the hours go to work that needs a person.
- Cash that arrives sooner is counted at what it would cost to borrow, never as money earned.
- The price of thruflow is left out unless you add a quote, so nothing here guesses at it.

An estimate from the figures above, not a promise. The starting numbers are placeholders for a business of this kind, not measurements from thruflow customers.
Why the time comes back
Four things change.Each one is in the sums.
Where do the starting numbers come from?
They're placeholders for a business of each kind, set on the cautious side, not measurements from thruflow customers. The estimate is only as good as the numbers in it, so put in your own: a week of your inbox and an honest guess at the minutes will do.
What does “minutes to check” mean?
thruflow reads each order, bill or remittance and fills in the entry, every value pinned to the spot on the page it came from. Someone then checks it, and a second person approves it, instead of anyone typing it. That check is the time that's left.
Why count only what the cash costs, not the cash itself?
Being paid sooner doesn't earn you more; it means you need less borrowed money to run on. So the estimate counts only what that cash would cost you at the rate you set. The cash itself is shown separately, once, and is never added to the yearly value.
Is what I type here sent anywhere?
No. The sums run in your browser and nothing leaves it unless you ask: a copied link carries the numbers in it, and requesting access passes them to the form for you to send.
