TNT today announces that customers in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Hong Kong and India, will enjoy the benefits of eInvoicing – secure electronic invoicing with digital signatures attached. The web-based service, which is provided free of charge, offers time- and cost savings, environmental and security benefits for both TNT and its clients. TNT is offering the new eInvoicing data in several formats, including PDF and CSV.
Onno Boots, regional managing director of TNT Asia, said, “The introduction of eInvoicing underlines TNT’s commitment to offering unrivalled customer service. In today’s highly-competitive business environment, time is money. By making invoicing less time-consuming and more adaptable to our customers’ specific requirements, we are freeing them up to focus on what they do best: running their businesses.”
Just as email is more efficient than snail mail, eInvoicing offers significant time-saving benefits. eInvoicing reduces paper handling costs and improves the accounts payable management process.
The electronic invoices are available for download in a number of formats, including PDF and CSV. Managing shipping transactions is more straightforward as customers can easily download and consolidate the invoicing data into their own accounting systems.
eInvoicing ensures that TNT and its customers make an invaluable contribution to achieving environmental sustainability. Reducing the number of paper invoices saves trees and reduces disposable waste. TNT’s eInvoicing service is already available in 42 countries worldwide, with 14 more countries to be implemented this year and TNT estimates that it could eventually eliminate up to one million paper invoices per month.
TNT’s eInvoicing addresses the issues of data protection and security. Password-protected accounts on secure websites provide more security than a potentially vulnerable paper trail.
Gerry Power, Managing Director of TNT Malaysia and Brunei, said, “ At TNT, we continuously strive to improve our service offerings to increase efficiency and competitiveness for both TNT and our customers. The new eInvoicing service has been designed with the requirements of our customers in mind; requirements which we have worked closely with them to identify. Besides enhancing our customer’s competitiveness, we also contribute to protecting the environment by moving towards paperless business transactions.
