Nine hundred million (900.000.000) is the total number of invoices that are produced in Belgium every year, and half of these are transactions between companies. The majority of these invoices are still sent and handled on paper.
Hence, it is no suprise that senders and receivers of large numbers of invoices want to move to digital, electronic invoices. Some companies will use their own IT infrastructure, but many companies use specialized payment platforms like Certipost, Isabel or OB10. Such platforms guarantee the legal requirements about non-repudiation and archiving of invoices.
However, making an invoice electronic is just the first step. The main advantages and cost reductions come from automating the processing of electronic invoices, and this is connected to the whole workflow of invoices: matching the invoices with orders in your ERP system, what to do with non-matching invoices, archiving, payment processing, dispute management, follow-up of the payment of your outgoing invoices, updating a CRM portal, etc.
Today, many companies look at electronic invoicing. The cost savings can be enormous, but what about legal requirements ? How do you convince customers and suppliers to move to e-invoicing ? What are the typical show-stoppers in automating the workflow and exception management, and how do you interface with ERP and CRM systems ?
Your questions will be answered during this seminar:
