In this survey, we have gathered 108 responses from medium to very large organisations in ten European countries, from industries associated with high invoice-volumes. We have found that about half of European companies with high invoice-volumes are in the process of implementing or have plans to implement e-Invoicing and e-Archiving in the next 12 months, while no fewer than one-third are already operating e-Invoicing. Companies that have done so are satisfied and over 70% have experienced increased efficiency, with more than 60% noting cost reductions. And yet, they are not fully exploiting the potential this might offer.
