Almost half of the invoices issued by the courier company TNT Express are now in electronic form. The results for customers and the company itself? – time and cost savings, as well as immediate information on payment status.
Nearly 43 percent of invoices issued by TNT Express in July and August of this year were in electronic form. TNT customers are increasingly willing to use this option: the number of e-invoices has grown by 13 percent since January.
– In 2012, we have already issued nearly 118,000 e-invoices. We estimate that this has saved over a dozen tons of paper – says Jolanta Krupowicz, Marketing Manager at TNT Express Poland – By the end of the year, we plan to encourage the majority of our contractors to adopt this form of settlement.
Companies from northern Poland are the fastest to adopt this convenient form of settlement: there, 50 percent of invoices issued by TNT are already in electronic form. Among the benefits of e-invoices, TNT customers most often mention better access to information, faster document circulation, easy data processing, and cost savings.
– Issuing an electronic invoice is free of charge, and the recipient does not need to purchase an electronic signature. Furthermore, TNT provides customers with data in TXT or Excel files free of charge, which facilitates their processing – adds Jolanta Krupowicz.
TNT Express convinces customers that an electronic invoice is a modern and convenient equivalent of a paper invoice. It is a full-fledged financial document that meets the requirements of tax regulations in Poland. This is confirmed by an opinion issued by the Minister of Finance for TNT Express. An e-invoice also ensures security in settlements with tax and customs offices.
Ordering an e-invoice is very simple: just send a completed “Electronic invoice acceptance” form to TNT, which can be downloaded from the website www.tnt.com.pl
