Struggling to Manage Invoices Efficiently? Pice has a Solution

Tired of handling B2B invoices through different platforms and losing track of the invoice payment while sharing the invoice payment records with your CA/Accountant? If so, then you're not alone. Unfortunately, most companies encounter these issues when dealing with invoices.

In the fast-paced business world, we’re sure that you are also facing a fair share of hurdles when it comes to managing your supplier invoice payments, such as

• Multiple Platforms for Invoice Management: When invoices are managed across multiple platforms, it becomes difficult to track and manage the flow of financial transactions as some data get lost along the way.
• Manual Payment Methods: A lot of organizations still use methods such as checks or bank transfers that are manual, and this leads to many invoice payments delay or being paid after the due dates.
• Spreadsheet-Based Tracking: Payments are usually recorded in spreadsheets, which are manual, not easily updated in real time, and can be a nightmare when dealing with many invoices.
• Lack of Payment Automation: With manual payment processing, companies are bound to miss payment deadlines and, in the process, pay for late fees, which affects vendor relations and credit rating.
• Difficulty Sharing Records with Accountants: Using invoice and payment records for reporting to accountants or CAs becomes a problem when working with different formats and missing information, which leads to the creation of additional, time-consuming, and error-prone reports.

These challenges may be quite difficult, especially when dealing with a significant volume of invoice payments.

But what if there was a better way to handle it all from a single platform?

Imagine having a system where you could:

• Pay to suppliers through any payment mode means (bank transfer, credit card, online wallets, etc.).
• Pay multiple invoices at once, rather than making individual invoice payment.
• Process partial payments or full payments in a few clicks.
• Seamlessly track all transactions and records in one place, experience no more hassle while sharing invoice data with your CA in the future.
• View supplier-generated invoices registered against your company and many others with ease.
