E-invoicing and purchase to pay solution vendor Basware is seeking to automate invoice handling for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with the launch of a mobile client for its InvoiceReady solution.
According to the vendor, with the addition of a mobile client to InvoiceReady to support invoice handling, SMBs will be able to reduce invoice cycle times by addressing problems more quickly. InvoiceReady Mobile will allow users to process purchase invoices, travel plans, travel and expense claims, contracts and requisitions from their mobile devices.
“From the frontline where employees are making and chasing day-to-day payments, to the top where budget and forecasting decisions are made, any lack of continuity creates commercial pressure,” said Esa Tihilä, CEO of Basware, in a statement. “As such, the need for an effective finance strategy to manage operational workflow is imperative and this can’t be hampered because a decision maker is not in the office. Access via any phone that can support a browser removes the hassle of invoice handling, ensuring you can manage your cash better and can get on with servicing customers. This means your workforce can focus on the truly value-added work, quickly and easily handling their invoice-related tasks during moments of downtime, while business leaders gain the confidence in cash flows required to drive their businesses forward.”
The new mobile interface is built on the HTML5 standard so it can be accessed through most smartphones and tablets
Basware has also added other new features to InvoiceReady, including an improved user experience, the ability to import payment feedback from a user’s payment system to add the actual payment date to the purchase invoice and travel claim history, and improvements to the contract and procurement module to enhance usability for contract creation, archive browsing and reporting, plus improving the interface tool capabilities for integration to legacy systems.
