1. Save time with online invoicing
By choosing online invoicing you can first of all save a lot of valuable time. After all, sending paper invoices is quite a labor-intensive job. The invoices must first be drawn up, then they must be printed, put in an envelope, stamped and sent. No longer sending the invoice by post therefore saves a lot of time. The most basic way of online invoicing, adding the invoice as a PDF attachment to an email, already saves a lot of actions. However, with a good invoicing program it can be done much faster. You can e-mail the invoice directly from the ERP system or deliver it to the customer as an XML format. This way, you can send the invoice at the touch of a button which saves you time. In consultation, it is even possible to deliver the invoice directly to the customer's accounts via Peppol or Mercurius.
2. Keep an overview
Online invoicing also ensures clear accounting. Because you invoice digitally, all invoices automatically end up in your accounting. Not only does this save time and reduce the chance of errors, it also makes filing your sales tax a piece of cake. Moreover, online invoicing makes it much easier to monitor the payment status of an invoice. In the system you can easily see which invoices are still outstanding, which customer you need to send a reminder and who is already late with payment. This way, following up on invoices becomes much easier.
3. Anticipate payment behavior
It is wise to also share the information about the payment status of a customer with the sales department. After all, if a customer has expired invoices, this is a good reason not to enter into new commitments. In this way, thanks to online invoicing , you prevent the sales department from selling services or products to a customer who already has a considerable amount in the red.
4. Good for the environment
After all, online invoicing is also good for the environment and your wallet. After all, by no longer sending invoices by post, you use a lot less paper. You also save on working hours and on paper, ink and shipping costs. Especially when you invoice a lot every month, digital invoicing will be cheaper.
