As effortless as using email, as formal as using paper
Of course e-invoice means an electronic invoice.  But that term can be applied to the sending of an email that has an invoice attached as a PDF or text document, which are likely to be printed off by their recipients to key them into an accounting system.
If your customers are not existing users of the EDGE Service, they receive an email link to the specific document the moment you make it available to them. Your customers can then view and manage your invoice or other documents in a secure environment.  They can also save the invoice as a pdf document and print the document if they prefer.  They can compare invoices with other invoices you send them.  They can manage the invoices real-time with you and exchange secure memos with yourself. All actions and documents are stored securely in one place together with the initial invoices.  And as with paper you can have your logo included in the documents you send.

Issuing a VAT invoice in 38 countries is the easy part
You can issue your first invoice within 5 minutes after you decided to register for the EDGE Service.  You can send your VAT compliant invoices securely to anyone in 38 countries and be notified the moment your customer opens the invoice.  We facilitate highly secure and low cost payments in and between 40 countries.  This makes it easier for companies to operate efficiently with any client anywhere.

The real challenge is collecting your invoices quickly without conflict
Issuing VAT compliant invoices is important. Facilitating secure and low cost payments is useful.  But the real challenge is ensuring customers pay these invoices quickly and inform you about any potential issues.  Collecting money effectively requires customer focus and discipline.  That is where EDGE comes in.
EDGE structures all communication between yourself and your customer around your invoices.  You can reach your commercial contact and his accounts payable department at the same time. When your commercial contact is absent, you are still reaching his company.  You and your customer can manage your invoices real-time by exchanging secure memo’s, requesting for credits, issuing credit notes and notifying payments.
Settlement terms can be agreed between parties and multiple payments can be defined per invoice.  Both parties can track their payables and receivables and are automatically informed by the EDGE Service about payments that are due and any pending actions.
You can easily register for our optional secure payment service and be notified the moment your money arrives in your account.  This allows you and your customer to have a real-time view on what you received and what is outstanding. And obviously we do not charge your customers.  As a result EDGE increases your chance of collecting your money quickly whilst servicing your customers well.
