processing of supplier invoices
This is how InvoiceFirewall works
- InvoiceFirewall goes through your supplier lists and finds the suppliers that can be transferred directly to sending e-invoices.
- Suppliers who are not able to send e-invoices are offered a portal from which they can send invoices electronically easily and free of charge.
- All e-invoices are checked according to the rules specified by the customer. If the invoice contains deficiencies or errors, it is automatically sent back to the supplier, who corrects them in the build-in web interface.
- Automation means that invoices no longer need to be processed with OCR because they are now received electronically.
- The system generates purchase reports for supplier and item information.
5 Reasons why you should consider InvoiceFirewall
1. There is great potential for savings now and in the future.
2. Getting all suppliers to send e-invoices is an ongoing, manual process that InvoiceFirewall handles automatically.
3. Employee time is freed up for other, more value-creating tasks.
4. You strengthen the relationship with the suppliers through an intelligent e-invoice portal and punctual payment.
5. You get a powerful reporting tool that shows the purchase volume for each supplier.
Additional benefits of the system
- You get a communication platform with e-mail templates for your suppliers. InvoiceFirewall sends both emails and reminders automatically. It saves a lot of administrative work.
- Job satisfaction in your team increases because employees can focus on more exciting tasks instead of tracking incorrect invoices.
- You get greater security that invoices will be paid on time, which saves dunning fees and default interest.
- You reduce the risk of fraud because the system blocks duplicates of invoices or invoices from suppliers that have been blacklisted by the bank.

The implementation takes about 4-6 weeks.
The faster you get started, the greater the savings.
