Clareti e-Invoicing

An outsourced electronic invoicing and document management service.

Clareti e-Invoicing service provides banks with the capability to provide their customers, large and small, with 21st century automation of the supply chain and associated payment data.

Clareti e-Invoicing provides customers and suppliers with a complete overview of the procure to pay cycle and detailed status information, such as proof of delivery, acceptance, query and approval status for all documents involved in the supply chain from Purchase Order to Invoice.

The service currently operates on a paperless basis across Europe, North and South America and large parts of Africa and AsiaPac and has approaching $20bn pa of transactions passing across it since its inception in 2000.

The service is ready for the new era of European payments, where the post SEPA prospect of reduced payments revenues has banks looking for new products and services.

Key features include:

  • Simple Invoice Order Processing
    Quick and easy to set up and does not require any special training. It handles Orders, Responses and Invoices as PDFs attached to an email with embedded hyperlinks to respond quickly.

  • Strengthening customer relations
    Buyers can interact with Clareti in a way that suits them and still receive the same level of order management as other buyers. Buyers can send your client payment schedules to synchronise in their Accounts Receivables.

  • Electronic Signatures
    The identity of signatory is guaranteed and the document authentication ensures original values are maintained and any invoice modifications are detectable.

  • e-Archiving
    Permanent document archiving. Archived invoices are securely available as original read only documents again in line with EU Directive and regulations, providing full traceability and accountability
