Case Study: Burlap & Barrel saves 30-40 hours a month on invoicing and AR with Streamlined

Burlap & Barrel saves 30-40 hours a month on invoicing and AR with Streamlined

Burlap & Barrel, an ethical single-origin spice company, faced a significant challenge with its invoicing and accounts receivable processes. Their use of QuickBooks and Shopify without proper integration led to a 20% error rate, causing payments to go missing or be misapplied. This required hours of internal "financial forensics" each week, costing the company valuable operational bandwidth and making them appear unprofessional to their wholesale customers. They turned to the vendor Streamlined for a solution.

Streamlined implemented a seamless system that syncs all of Burlap & Barrel's sales, invoices, payments, and accounting. The solution integrated with both Shopify and QuickBooks, providing a clear and accurate view of their B2B AR. As a result, the company saved an estimated 30-40 hours per month on invoicing and AR, eliminated manual reconciliation, and now gets paid faster. The co-founder reported that the day-to-day management of finances is completely off his plate, allowing the team to focus on growth-oriented work.
