OB10 enhances their E-invoicing Portal, closes deal with Centrica

OB10 has closed a deal with Centrica, one of the UK’s largest gas and electricity providers. Centrica decided to adopting OB10’s e-Invoicing solution. By doing so, Centrica:

1. streamlines its accounts payable function;
2. automates the ability to accept supplier invoices in a wide variety of international invoice data formats.
3. is able to maintain its position as a leading supporter of the Prompt Payment Code.
4. follows the footsteps of  utilities providers including like Severn Trent and Scottish Water.

Enhanced E-invoicing Portal

The decision of Centrica is well timed, as OB10 is launching the latest version of its customer e-invoicing portal. Based on feedback sought from thousands of accounts payable (A/P) and accounts receivable (A/R) customers, the portal offers:

1. users closer collaboration, greater personalisation, and enhanced self-service support and visibility into the invoicing process
2. enhanced user experience
3. efficiencies and transparency to the purchase-to-pay process
4. a platform to deliver ground-breaking new services
5. accelerated system performance and offers near-infinite scalability
