In 2016, businesses across Europe issued 36 billion invoices. Invoices are essential to cash flow, meaning the processes used to create and send them will have a large influence over an organization’s success.

Able to make the invoicing process far more cost-effective and efficient, they can have a positive impact on the late payment problem too.
