Electronic Invoicing Has A Great Deal Of Benefits
Did you know that an electronic invoice is digital throughout its entire lifecycle? That means the creation of the document, sending of the document, payment of the invoice, and all financial related aspects of the bookkeeping and accounting that take place are through a computer-based system from start to finish. That being stated, electronic invoicing is different than digital invoicing, which is basically a paper invoice that has been digitized. Electronic invoices are far superior to paper invoices simply because they remove the manual process from the equation.

Speaking of snail mail, your customers receive their electronic invoices as soon as you hit the button, which means they will typically pay you faster. This is a particularly handy feature for organizations that suffer from cash flow issues. Additionally, payment reminders can save an Organization thousand of dollars in late fees alone.
Electronic Invoicing Is Significantly More Efficient
Just imagine if you could automate your tasks at home. How much easier would your life be if the dishes washed themselves? The same holds true at work. When you automate a process, it makes things better and more convenient altogether. Automating the invoicing process is one way to accomplish this. Electronic invoicing systems can be set up to send out recurring bills automatically. That means you don’t even need to think about sending out the bills, it just happens by clicking on your mouse or tapping a button on your screen.

When a worker is responsible for both data entry and data transmission there are three (3) stages where mistakes are made. They include invoice creation, customer payment, and data entry. However, the only area where a mistake can be made in the electronic invoicing process is at the point of invoice creation.
