How Automated Invoice Tracking Can Transform Your E-Commerce Margins
Summary
Manual invoice tracking drains time, creates costly errors, and leaves e-commerce businesses blind to real-time cost changes. Automated invoice tracking eliminates these issues by:
Capturing every invoice automatically with simple setup.
Parsing SKU-level data for precise and up-to-date pricing.
Sending alerts and insights when supplier prices shift.
Exporting clean data directly into Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or via API/CSV.
Example: An online store with 5,000 SKUs avoids selling at a loss when Costelly automatically flags a 5% supplier price increase and updates pricing.
With flexible pricing tiers—from Starter to Enterprise—Costelly helps businesses of all sizes protect their margins through automation.
Automation isn’t optional—it’s essential for profitability in e-commerce.
Introduction
Running an e-commerce business means juggling countless tasks—from customer service to inventory management. Yet one area often overlooked is invoice tracking. Missing invoices, manual errors, and inconsistent cost data can quickly eat into your margins.
That’s where automated invoice tracking comes in. With the right tool, you can save hours, eliminate mistakes, and make smarter pricing decisions.
The Hidden Costs of Manual Invoice Processing
If you’re still handling invoices manually, you’re likely facing:
Time drains: Employees spend hours forwarding, checking, and reconciling invoices.
Human errors: A single misread cost price can distort your margin analysis.
Pricing blind spots: Without real-time data, you risk making decisions based on outdated numbers.
These challenges directly impact profitability.
