Invoice Process Automation

The flexible approach to invoice processing

Research shows that 1.4 billion European invoices are now sent electronically, but 28 billion are still sent by mail. Multi-channel invoicing is here to stay; the challenge for organisations across Europe is to develop an invoicing solution that can handle the complexity of different invoice formats and still give your enterprise a single window into the finance function.

The answer lies in taking a flexible approach to invoice processing and management.  Pitney Bowes presents a truly multi-channel solution - the Invoice Process Automation service. Delivering a balanced approach to paper invoicing and e-invoicing will help you to improve supplier relationships, cut costs and streamline finance function processes.

Our unique Invoice Process Automation service provides a dedicated workflow solution built on format consistency to eliminate the system complexities surrounding the numerous communication and data streams between your organisation, customers and suppliers.

Invoice Process Automation functionality introduces standardised, digital data streams delivered straight to the relevant department – whether a supplier’s delivery choice is paper, e-invoice or EDI. Invoice Process Automation can also take your standard Accounts Receivable output (often an invoice print run) and deliver this to your customers in the format they choose, paper, data or an e-invoice. By taking advantage of digitisation, centralised workflow and archiving, we can provide a faster standard process and data interface for all of your invoices, wherever they come from. The results are vastly reduced costs, improved cash flow and efficient internal data access.

By combining our global expertise in mail, document management and digital communications, Pitney Bowes delivers a unique, integrated and fully managed Invoice Process Automation service that is flexible enough to meet all the needs of your organisation, your suppliers and your customers.
