Continia eDocuments streamlines two key business processes into two efficient flows: ordering and billing.
Ordering
The customer initiates an order by sending a purchase request. The vendor receives this order, reviews it, and can either accept it, suggest adjustments, or reject it. This process ensures that both parties are on the same page before finalizing the order.
Billing
After the order is fulfilled, the vendor sends an invoice. The customer reviews this invoice to ensure accuracy and can either approve it for payment, raise queries if discrepancies are found, or reject it if necessary. This system ensures a transparent and accurate billing process.
Digitalizing these processes means that as soon as an order or invoice is received, it's automatically entered into your system, checked for accuracy, and matched against purchase orders or delivery receipts. This dual flow significantly enhances efficiency, compliance, and accuracy across the purchase-to-pay process.
