A Consolidated Invoice Can Save B2B Merchants 1,000+ hours

Recently we talked about the perks of consolidated invoices for B2B buyers but B2B merchants would be amiss not to see the benefits of consolidated billing as well. If your customers are making repeat purchases, you could spend thousands of hours per year in manual work and experience delayed payments due to customer confusion. It’s one thing to provide 100 customers terms, and manage them purchase by purchase, but as your business grows you could easily see over 1,000. You’re accounts receivable team will feel it like a thousand paper cuts.   

Consolidated Invoicing Pains 

In a recent study, 94% of B2B financial department employees still manually input at least some invoice or billing information. Billing errors, a top 5 pain point of today’s A/R teams, are key contributors to decreased profits and late payments. Put simply, if you’re sending one invoice for every purchase it will lengthen the time it takes to get paid as well as open the door for errors and confusion when multiple purchases from the same buyer happen in a short amount of time.  

Chronic reliance on manual processes will take a toll on your accounts receivable team too. A/R teams struggle to keep up with customer requests, unique invoice requirements (including invoice credit notes) and disputes that require attention. Consolidated and automated invoicing for your B2B buyers can save your team thousands of man hours and push your back-office team into the digital age. Considering selling on a marketplace? Ask if they offer consolidated invoicing, it should be standard.
