e-INVOICING

AUTOMATED AND SECURE ELECTRONIC INVOICING IS NOW A SIMPLE MATTER FOR EVERY BUSINESS!

e-INVOICING

Your invoices are no longer printed and they are dispatched electronically in a completely lawful and transparent manner
e-invoicing was enacted in Greece in 2006. Since then, all the more companies have begun to implement it, enjoying an overall reduction in operating and management costs, as well as minimizing the invoicing process response time. It essentially refers to the electronic exchange of documents between companies, without the need to ensure and exchange these in printed format.
The Paperless Connect service is the 1st service that was developed and implemented in the domestic market and used in the first e-invoicing project that was implemented in Greece. The Paperless Connect service is already used by more than 7,000 companies from every sector of the Greek Economy, ranking it as the largest e-invoicing community in Greece.

With continuous development and implementation being the key feature in all the more market sectors, the Paperless Connect service innovates by combining all the features of an e-invoicing platform with the nature of a social media website. Thus, it is much more than a document exchange service: It is the connective web in a business community that implements e-invoicing, since companies are essentially members of a constantly growing network of transacting businesses that allow:
  • easy search of customers or suppliers, who already use electronic invoices,
  • easy and fast integration with customers or suppliers,
  • easy implementation of e-invoicing between partners through a friendly and reliable management environment that is secure and transparent,
  • Do-it-yourself logic, with the businesses having complete control over both the invoicing process and its integration with businesses.

Thus, the Paperless Connect service constitutes a pillar for the development and dissemination of electronic invoicing practices in the Greek market, while offering maximum security and optimum functionality in the exchange of electronic invoices.

Refer to the detailed characteristics and features of our service, for both the invoice sender and the recipient
DOMESTIC and international trends show that businesses – regardless of size – are moving towards electronic invoicing services, which offer an organized and proven operating framework, which is not provided by a simple and many times insecure process via e-mail.
The basic features of an integrated electronic invoicing service are:

  • automated, guaranteed and secure dispatch and delivery of all or individual invoices and any other documents,
  • for every invoice that is received by the customer, a proof of receipt is sent to the sender (with receipt time) at the time that this takes effect,
  • automatic reports for invoices that have been received or are pending receipt by customers,
  • the dispatch of invoice-related documents (e.g. credit notes, delivery notes, etc.) and accompanying documents is possible,
  • complete control of when and how invoices will be dispatched (scheduling – dispatch approvals, etc.),
  • online archiving of outgoing invoices in the Paperless Connect service for as long as the issuer wishes,
  • the easy and detailed search of documents, based on various criteria (Supplier’s name, TIN, Date, Invoice Amount, etc).

Finally, the recipient is provided with connectivity solutions for the automated entry of invoice data in commercial accounting systems while performing automated checks, automated archiving through integration with third party systems, etc., thus providing value-added solutions and automating the invoicing process to the greatest degree.
