How does Channel work?
The process is simple. Create your document and data file in a format that works for you. Use Channel’s value-added-services such as layout templates, electronic signatures and digital payment buttons to enhance your documents and data.
Send your documents and data to our unique Crossnet network look-up. The look-up searches for your end user’s required channel and format, and exchanges your documents for you. Documents and data are then automatically archived according to your country-specific regulations.
No more outbound manual work required! Just simple, automated document creation, conversion and distribution.
"It was a challenging project with many novelties and unknown aspects under great time pressure. However, we have solved all problems together and successfully mastered a fully functioning communication of our invoicing processes via the official Italian platform Sistema di Interscambio."
