The four parts of invoicing
Creating, sending, chasing and reconciling invoices each have their own time cost. Most stores automate creation first and leave the expensive parts manual.
Reminders are where the money is
Automated payment reminders shorten the time to payment and remove awkward manual follow-up, which improves cash flow immediately.
Reconciliation
Matching incoming payments to invoices is repetitive and error-prone. A direct link between your payment flow and your accounting package removes most of it.
When automation pays off
Above roughly fifty invoices a month the case is usually clear. Below that, partial automation of reminders alone is often enough.
Do not forget VAT
Belgian and Dutch VAT rules for cross-border B2B sales add complexity that manual processes tend to get wrong.
