Electronic invoice, eBill and Paper Bill

Digital invoices: easy and efficient

No matter whether you want to send and receive digitized invoices or optimize mailing of your paper invoices: with electronic invoices for business customers, eBill for private customers and Paper Bill for sending invoices by post, we offer you solutions from a single source.

The advantages for you when you digitize invoices

Reduce your costs

You save yourself having to enter invoices manually in your accounting system when you receive digital invoices. You reduce your workload by digitizing your processes and you can automate repetitive tasks. There are also no printing, shipping or paper costs associated with sending digital invoices.

Save valuable time

With digital invoices, you avoid having to send letters or e-mails. In this way, you ensure that data can be processed immediately – without having to type in anything. Potential for errors is also reduced with each intermediate step that is eliminated.

Protect the environment

Sending paper invoices not only costs money and time, but also has a negative impact on the environment. With digital invoices, you reduce paper consumption and cut back on CO2 emissions caused by postal delivery. In other words, a classic win-win situation.
