Avalara Launches Free E-Invoicing Solution for Businesses
Avalara Introduces Free E-Invoicing for U.S. Companies
Avalara is transforming the invoicing landscape for U.S. businesses by offering cost-free e-invoicing solutions.
Recently, Avalara announced an innovative offering that allows U.S. companies to utilize its new E-Invoicing & Live Reporting (ELR) solution without any charges. This initiative, powered by the Digital Business Networks Alliance (DBNAlliance), marks a significant advancement in the U.S. e-invoicing sector.
Transforming E-Invoicing for Businesses
In contrast to many countries where electronic invoicing is a requirement and follows a structured framework set by tax authorities, the U.S. faces a fragmented environment. This lack of cohesion hampers the widespread adoption of e-invoicing, resulting in a scenario where smaller businesses often resort to traditional paper or PDF invoices. According to Avalara's research, this outdated method can cost nearly $15.16 per invoice.
Furthermore, the Avalara study estimates that achieving full e-invoicing adoption in the U.S. could unleash an economic impact of over $116 billion. Astonishingly, small and medium-sized enterprises contribute to 83% of this potential economic growth.
Democratizing E-Invoicing Access
With the launch of free enterprise-grade e-invoicing, Avalara aims to democratize access to efficient invoicing solutions. By being a founding member of the DBNAlliance, Avalara is introducing free U.S. B2B e-invoicing through its certified access point. This groundbreaking move promises to provide a scalable and standardized solution that will benefit millions of U.S. businesses.
"Avalara is excited to pioneer an era of trusted and innovative solutions within the U.S. e-invoicing sphere," stated Alex Baulf, VP of E-Invoicing and Live Reporting at Avalara. "The DBNAlliance facilitates an open exchange model that has already shown success in other markets, and Avalara is committed to ensuring that all U.S. businesses have access to this advantage."
