Streamlining business and saving both time and money is what electronic invoicing can do for a small or medium sized business.
The College of New Caledonia is offering a free workshop in the latest technologies available for invoicing. Businesses thinking of making the switch can come and learn about three different systems, to find the software most suited to their needs.
"The workshop is ideal for independent consultants, and small or medium sized businesses that are currently using Word or Excel documents to generate invoices for their customers," said Zelda Craig, CNCs industry liaison. Electronic invoicing leads to quicker approval and payment cycles, improved vendor satisfaction, fewer lost or missing invoices, and a more efficient financial process. While the majority of small businesses rely on a paper invoicing system, global invoicing standards are rapidly moving towards electronic invoicing.
Larger businesses are now insisting that their smaller partner businesses and contractors adopt electronic invoicing for efficient transactions between them. Some countries, such as Mexico and Brazil, are insisting by regulation that their nation's businesses be set up with electronic invoicing, to smooth out their economic development.
"In northern B.C., most companies dont require e-Invoicing from their suppliers, but many of them are already specifying a preference for it," said Craig.
The workshop is in partnership with the Canada Research Council. It happens Tuesday in CNC room 2-319 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
