eInvoicing

In the earlier post (The Rise of the B2B Network and B2B Payments) we talked about the increasing need for eInvoicing providers to create value for suppliers as well as buyers and today I’m going to explore that perspective a little further.

In a recent article, I noted Supply Chain Finance (SCF) as being one of the top trends for 2014 (read more here). This article offers a more detailed discussion of SCF. SCF has been around for a while in one form or another but it is only in the last few years that this market [...]

In this series I wanted to focus on a few of the ‘newer’ technology providers in this space and their solutions around dynamic discounting.

The tax authority responsible for overseeing electronic invoices in Argentina is called Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (AFIP). In order to issue invoices, all companies in Argentina [...]

In a previous article (which you can find here) I covered the essentials of eInvoicing in Mexico and the recent changes in government requirements. Today, the focus is going to be Brazil (part 3 will cover Argentina), which is largely considered the leader and pace setter for eInvoicing in Latin America. Just to provide some [...]

One of the most interesting, successful and fast growing markets for eInvoicing is not Europe but Latin America. For some time now certain Latin American countries have been aggressively pushing electronic invoicing. Brazil, Mexico and Argentina have led the charge with government mandates that require companies to replace standard paper invoices with electronic invoices. eInvoicing [...]

At the moment, Ardent Partner’s research team is completing the annual AP-focused market research report which will be widely available shortly – ePayables 2013: AP’s New Dawn.
