A few weeks ago we launched our new website layout. But is wasn’t the layout that changed. It was also the geographical coverage. Before we focussed on Europe and occasionally mentioned earth shattering developments in other parts of the world.
But now we try to collect the electronic invoicing and AP automation developments from all over the globe. Tiny as it may be, this globe has a lot of news to cover. So much in fact that we now and then combine developments into one post.
Bill.com Bolsters Customer Experience stating that ‘ebilling isn’t just for big business anymore’
Bill.com introduced new functionalities that makes sending electronic invoices and making online payments a snap. The condition is that both payer and payee are utilizing the Bill.com platform
This how it works:
- an electronic invoice can be generated by the issuing party using Bill.com or their preferred accounting software,
- these instantly convert into in the payer’s system along with any supporting data or attachments required; ready for review, acceptance, approvals and payment.
- Once the electronic payment is issued, it is automatically applied to the payee’s eInvoice and to the payer’s eBill with no manual work required.
The entire process now syncs with accounting packages such as QuickBooks, Peachtree, Netsuite and Intacct.
And Bill.com claims that even if the payer and payee are on different systems, it (Bill.com) ensures that all transactions are properly documented and that data entry is entirely eliminated for both parties. Not sure how that works, though.
