E-invoicing, or electronic invoicing, is the process of creating, sending, and receiving invoices in a digital format. Unlike traditional paper or PDF invoices, e-invoices are structured for seamless integration between systems, allowing businesses to automate billing and payment processes.
Traditional invoicing typically relies on a slow, manual process, which includes filling in billing details, printing paper copies, and physically sending them to customers. With e-invoicing, businesses can reduce admin tasks, improve accuracy, and track payments more efficiently. Customers receive invoices electronically, making it easier for them to pay on time. Our e-invoicing software integrates with partner tools within the Sage Network and trusted payment providers, simplifying the entire process.
Sole traders often rely on Excel due to availability and budget constraints. Excel might be useful if you only occasionally need to generate and send invoices. As your business grows, maintaining invoices in Excel formats can be daunting. Modern small businesses, medium companies and sole traders typically switch over to invoicing software to automate invoicing processes and manage payments easily.
If you have been using Excel templates or spreadsheets to create and keep track of your invoices, you can easily import your data to Sage. With a variety of customisable, professional yet simple templates, you'll never have to rely on Excel again.
Manually creating invoices with tools like Word or Excel can be time-consuming and makes it hard to manage your cash flow. Business invoicing software streamlines the process, saving you time and helping you stay on top of your billing. By implementing a solution with e-invoicing features, you can:
