The transition to sending e-invoices is part of a real-time economic movement which is transforming companies and facilitating business transactions and informational exchange in a digital, standardized, and machine-readable format. Real-time economic solutions help businesses save both time and money, especially in accounting,. E-invoicing is the future and plays an important role in this digital transformation.”
