The term "paperless office" has become virtually indispensable in recent years. Topics such as document scanners, digitization of letter post and electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) play an important role here.
We would like to introduce you to some of the advantages of eInvoicing and show you why it is worth switching to a paperless office now.
Environmental protection
By exchanging invoices digitally, paper consumption can be reduced by a significant amount, thereby reducing your company's ecological footprint. According to studies by the Öko-Institut Freiburg, electronic invoicing could reduce CO2 emissions in Germany by 100,000 tons per year.¹
Time saving
Automated, paperless processes can save many work steps - for example, there is no need to print receipts, send them by post or archive them afterwards. Throughput times are reduced thanks to faster invoice processing. But that's not all - faster invoicing means that invoices can be paid more quickly and your company's liquidity increases.
Efficient data exchange through standardized formats
Standardized digital formats such as ZUGFeRD or XRechnung meet current requirements in accordance with EU standards and enable automated processing without media discontinuity. This allows you to remain competitive in the European market.
Less susceptibility to errors
The automatic processing of an eInvoice avoids both human error and incorrect text recognition in scanned paper invoices.
Saving money
Both the cost of paper and the cost of manually processing an invoice can be saved. Experts estimate that the costs of issuing, processing and archiving invoices can be reduced by up to 20% if only electronic formats are used.²
