How much are paper dockets costing your business in hard cash?

Lost dockets, delayed invoices and customer queries can quietly eat into margin. This page gives you a quick, believable estimate — then shows how Tipper360 helps replace paper with digital proof.

Built for Irish operators No inflated claims Grant support may be available

Paper usually costs money in 3 places

1. Time lost searching for dockets, signatures, photos and WhatsApp messages.
2. Payment slowed down because proof is missing or hard to produce.
3. Customer queries where you have to rebuild what happened after the job.
The calculator is intentionally conservative. The aim is not to scare people — it is to make the hidden cost visible.

Keep the numbers realistic. Even a modest paper cost can justify looking at a digital delivery system, especially where grant funding helps reduce the upfront cost.
