Invoice LifeCycle

EBE goes beyond the traditional functionality you typically find managing the processes involved with generating timely and accurate invoices as well as tracking and processing payments received. Most imaging solutions are limited to storing a copy of the invoice and supporting documents then exporting them to the shipper. While, this functionality provides a tremendous advantage to a carrier; it leaves many aspects of the accounts receivable and payable process to be completed manually.
