How many incorrect supplier invoices are you paying without knowing it?

Most companies trust that supplier invoices are correct. But studies show that up to 3% of all invoices contain errors — incorrect prices, duplicate invoicing or charges that don't match the contract.

Why it happens more often than you think

The problem is rarely malicious. It's about complexity. Framework agreements with hundreds of price lines, index clauses adjusted annually, supplementary agreements that are forgotten. When no system matches invoices against contracts, it becomes impossible to detect deviations in time.

Three common scenarios

• ⚠ Prices that haven't been adjusted — you negotiated a lower price but the old price list is still being used
• ⚠ Many small invoices under framework agreements — hundreds of invoices of 5,000–15,000 SEK that nobody reviews individually, but that together amount to significant sums
• ⚠ Expired contracts still being invoiced — a contract expired but the invoices keep coming

What it costs in practice

For a mid-sized company with 500 supplier invoices per month and an average invoice value of 25,000 SEK, a 3% error rate means a potential overspend of 4.5 million SEK per year. Not as a single big miss, but as a steady stream of small errors that are never discovered.

"We thought we had it under control. Then we connected Tagd to our accounting system and found deviations of over 200,000 SEK in the first month alone."

The solution: automatic matching

By connecting your accounting system to Tagd, you can automatically match supplier invoices against your contracts. The system flags deviations — incorrect prices, unexpected items and invoices without contract support.

It requires no manual review. You get a list of deviations to act on, sorted by amount and priority.
