Importance of Interoperability – key to e-invoice success

June 5th, 2013 by OpusCapita in Electronic Invoicing, Featured Articles, Standards

Imagine a situation where before calling to your friend you would need to first find out what GSM operator he uses. After that you would need to log in to your own GSM operator website and check if this operator has the connectivity to your friend’s operator.

And if it doesn’t, you should take a pre-paid SIM card from your friends GSM operator, insert it into your phone and only then you can make a call to your friend. Extremely inconvenient, isn’t it? Now, it’s time that e-invoicing is going to match the international mobile phone arena.

Invoiceware+Tradeshift = Fastrack for Mexican CFDI e-invoicing adoption

June 5th, 2013 by Invoiceware International in Adoption, North America

Thanks to the cooperation with Tradeshift, InvoiceWare introduces the “Mexico eInvoice FastTrack,” to help companies migrate to the country’s recently mandated Comprobante Fiscal Digital for Internet (CFDI) format and guarantee a testing slot before the mandatory 2013 year-end deadline.

As discussed before, Fast Track is a low-cost, low-risk tool with lightning-fast supplier on-boarding results and complete transparency. Fast Track is specifically designed to build up to full rollout. Most e-invoicing companies on-board less than 10-15% of suppliers and that’s unacceptable. Tradeshift has recently on-boarded 94% of suppliers at 80% of the volume in less than four months.

Oh boy, only signed XML B2G e-invoices are allowed in Italy as from 2014.

June 5th, 2013 by Tungsten Network in Electronic Invoicing, Government, Legal, Standards

We heard the rumors. That the nineth-largest economy of the world decided to go for mandatory B2G e-invoicing as from 2014 for specific entities like the Italian ministries, tax office, the national security and welfare departments. All other public sector bodies must comply by June 2015. Once these deadlines have passed, the government will no longer pay invoices that do not meet the requirements.

And that raises to quite some eyebrowes: only signed XML B2G e-invoices are allowed in Italy as from June 2014. And to date it is unclear to what extend the Italian government is going to facilitate suppliers in this change. So e-invoicing adoption? Yes. But also heavy handed, ignoring supplier value and contrary to the idea of equal treatment.

How can e-invoicing significantly improve your working capital? [recorded webinar]

May 31st, 2013 by Tungsten Network in Electronic Invoicing, Payment

Cash flow is stagnating for at least SME’s. And banks aren’t lending you money easily. Thus, many organisations will gladly offer a discount in return for faster payment, eliminating time spent chasing unpaid invoices as a bonus. By combining an electronic invoicing network with a buyer’s working capital and a financial institution’s funds, all suppliers can initiate early payment.

View this webinar to learn more about OB10’s exciting new supply chain finance offering, which has been developed in partnership with a global financial institution.
