Case:
One company wanted to choose CloudScan as the long-term solution instead of the full scanning service. They are a start-up company, and they really want to push suppliers towards e-invoicing eventually. CloudScan is easily deployed and does not require supplier activation on this step.
The company kept their own in-house postal address as they had the staff to process mail and emails towards CloudScan. They also wanted to do data capture in-house to save money on this process. On the supplier activation side, they wanted to start pushing suppliers towards real e-invoicing. When having scanning in-house, they know which suppliers are still using paper and request them to use email instead at the very least.
This way, they also updated their own supplier master data with email contact information, which was handed over to Basware for e-invoice onboarding. The goal here was to spend less on the legacy method, focus on the future of e-invoicing, and send a clear message to the suppliers.
