Helping Local Government Move Beyond PDF Invoicing with eInvoicing Solutions

As the pace of digital transformation accelerates, Aotearoa New Zealand’s local councils face the opportunity to modernise their invoicing systems, moving beyond traditional PDF formats. It’s important to understand that eInvoicing isn’t just about digitising invoices; it’s about transforming the way councils manage resources.  

At Desktop Imaging, we’re collaborating with Tickstar to bring a seamless, automated eInvoicing solution to the ALGIM 2024 conference. Our goal? To empower local governments with a tool that minimises PDF processing, boosts financial efficiency, and helps to support efficiency gains and faster payments for their trading partners in their local communities.

Here’s why the transition away from PDFs is a game-changer and how eInvoicing offers critical advantages:

1. Eliminating PDF Hassles: Efficiency and Cost-Saving

With eInvoicing, councils can bypass these outdated PDF processes entirely. Our eInvoicing solution with Tickstar automates data exchange, reducing administrative costs by up to 70% and allowing finance teams to focus on strategic priorities rather than repetitive tasks.

2. Enhancing Accuracy and Reducing Errors

PDFs are prone to errors that can lead to payment delays and strained supplier relationships. eInvoicing ensures data consistency and eliminates risks associated with human error by directly integrating invoicing data with accounting systems. DI Invoicing, powered by Tickstar’s Peppol Access Point service, ensures precise, real-time data flow, making transactions faster and reducing queries and disputes.

3. Achieving Sustainability Goals

Beyond financial efficiency, eInvoicing supports sustainability by eliminating paper-based processes and reducing a council’s carbon footprint.  

4. A Strong Partnership with Tickstar

Our partnership with Tickstar provides councils with a tailored solution and expertise in global eInvoicing which means councils can be assured of compliance, security, and longevity.

Transitioning from PDF to eInvoicing is more than a technology upgrade – it’s a strategic move towards efficiency, sustainability, security, and accountability.  Desktop Imaging is committed to supporting Aotearoa local governments in adopting a solution that’s not only user-friendly but also future proof. At ALGIM 2024, we’re ready to showcase how our eInvoicing solution can redefine financial processes, freeing councils from manual, error-prone invoicing methods and paving the way for streamlined, transparent financial management.
