Last week we did a quick round through social media about this topic. Here are the top 3 that made the cut!

• “Don’t want to use Adobe – PDFs can have viruses”

• “Can I fax it to you? we try not to use emails”

• “I am running out of the office right now…can I just drop it in the mail and you will receive it in a couple of days”

It is a funny world and surprisingly people give all these excuses. One of the contributors to the discussion summarises it very well.

“You would think that the supplier would be delighted to send you an invoice quickly. The sooner they send the invoice, the sooner they get paid, one less statement to mail, less money spent on supplies, one less invoice in collections, etc. I could go on and on how sending an electronic invoice immediately could positively effect their business.”

Let’s see if any more come through… We find these three quite difficult to beat.
