Basware, the leading provider of purchase-to-pay solutions, and
Billentis, the independent experts in e-invoicing, estimate that the
number of B2B e-invoices sent globally rose by 20% in 2011, with large
markets such as Germany, Mexico and France accelerating the adoption
curve.
President Chain Store Corp, which operates Taiwan's largest chain of
convenience stores, recently launched a full-scale and across-the-board
issuance of electronic invoices at almost all its 4700 stores in Taiwan.
The massive change started begin December.
Artesian Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: ARTNA), a leading provider of
water, wastewater and engineering services on the Delmarva Peninsula,
today launched a free and secure e-Billing service that enables
customers to view, print and pay their water and sewer bills online.
Batelco, the Kingdom's leading communications services provider
continues to witness growth in the popularity of its e-Services, with
the number of customers using the online portal to pay their bills via
e-Billing up by 40% year on year. The continuous growth can be
attributed to Batelco's efforts to promote the convenience of its online
services as well as a general increase in awareness amongst customers
in the Bahrain market with regard to completing various transactions
online.
Supply Chain Finance (SCF) programs have the potential to provide value
for buyers, suppliers and banks/finance companies. This is because
funding is often scarce and expensive for many (especially smaller
companies), large buyers push for extended payment terms to reduce
working capital investments and banks are forced to reduce the
consumption of risk-weighted assets and corporate lending.
