Every business has bottlenecks At many board meetings, I can be counted upon to ask , “Where’s the bottleneck this month?” Senior management is usually prepared with an answer, and a good discussion of resource availability and application follows.

Whether you’re managing a handful of vehicles or overseeing a full-scale operation, the pressure never really lets up.

Normally, we talk about underpaying when the topic of invoices comes up. Businesses are guilty of terrible invoice management, meaning clients and customers don’t pay the full amount on time.
