How can businesses leverage e-invoicing to grow and reach new customers?
In today’s digital economy, where cross border trade is becoming increasingly prevalent, businesses are continuously looking to streamline the complexities of processing invoices. Businesses that have turned to e-invoicing have seen steady and unequivocal industry growth in recent years— allowing them cost savings and increased control, as well as fraud reduction and an improved customer experience.
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Academy and Mastercard® are jointly organising this half-day event on how e-invoicing serves as an effective first step towards digitizing your business. Join us to hear from industry experts on how your business can get started on this journey.
