e-Invoicing Will Give You the Edge Over Your Competition

The new Billentis report illustrates why e-Invoicing is a critical solution for businesses looking to streamline their processes, maximise their opportunities and differentiate themselves from the competition.

The proven benefits of e-Invoicing are making it the solution of choice for businesses; the report shows that businesses that have automated their processes are taking advantage of huge savings and giving themselves a competitive edge in their industry. Bruno Koch highlights the savings that can be made in the report and gives practical advice about how to implement such a solution.

From our internal research we have found that the biggest challenge facing businesses is the high cost of processing paper invoices. Cutting costs remains a major priority for all businesses and the Billentis report highlights how e-Invoicing can do that while also improving your customer’s satisfaction.

Below are two diagrams that illustrate the potential savings to the sender and recipient of an electronic invoice. Receiving and processing an invoice is an expensive practice for businesses and Koch has broken down the substantial savings that can be made at both ends.

How to Improve Your Cash-Flow: Part 2

In the first part of this blog we talked about the main components of good cash-flow management.

The components were: forecasting your cash-flow, evaluating terms with your trading partners and having a good system to enforce payment discipline from your customers. They are essential to improving your cash-flow and making your balance sheet healthier.

How to Improve Your Cash-Flow: Part 1

Cash-flow problems are the number one reason why businesses fail; so it is vital that companies prioritise their cash-flow management. In this blog we examine the main components of a healthy cash flow management system.

Cash flowThe main issue with cash-flow is that every company is trying to do the same thing and not everyone can succeed.  Companies try and get their receivables in as fast as possible while also delaying their payables in order to keep as much cash on their books.  Somebody loses out in the end and it’s usually the company that has not prioritised cash-flow management.

eBilling Can Help Solve Late Payments Issue for SMEs

Late payments in the UK

Late payments are the bane of any business. In Britain this is coming to the fore because Business and Enterprise Minister, Michael Fallon, has launched a campaign calling for large companies to improve the practice of tardy payments to small suppliers. This has also been picked up by the Telegraph who are running a campaign in conjunction with the Minister to encourage on-time payments.

Late Payments, Past Due StampLate payments to SMEs threaten their existence as cash-flow is an imperative to their survival. Small firms find themselves at the mercy of large companies who are increasing the time-frame in which they pay suppliers for work that is already completed.

Latest research from the organisation reveals that smaller suppliers wait on average 41 days longer for payment than their contract stipulates. Many have to wait up to 180 days to be paid for services they provide to larger companies and the minister revealed that he had been told of one well-known company that had a payment process approaching 200 days.  (Telegraph)
