Q&A
State of E-Invoicing
and AP Automation
Where are we today?
Executive Summary
“
”
AP automation has quickly become a lead component
of a holistic P2P approach. … additional financial
benefits are being revealed that directly impact the
bottom line, including the ability to pay invoices on-time
and even capture new discounts. Paying on-time not
only avoids late fees, but it drastically improves the
relationship between buyers and their suppliers; so
much so that financial supply chain management is now
becoming a driver in itself for AP automation.

Editor's Notes

  1. When you run a business, legal compliance is one of your top priorities. We know that and our compliance team go to great lengths to ensure that the platform is compliant in the countries you operate as an enterprise customer. To date Tradeshift has been certified VAT compliant in more than 30 countries and we are continiously adding to the list. Furthermore our founder team have a background from global standardization in the field of e-business and understand the many legal complexities as well as natural trade-offs between what Tradeshift does and which processes you already have in place internally, so we continually can strike the right balance the business side and the legal requirements, without inventing problems or new costs.
