More than just e-Invoicing …evolution

cbs Managed Service product e-invoice.world gets new brand and turns into e-world.cloud!

What started as LatAm cloud more than 10 years ago and was renamed to e-invoice.world cloud to reflect the global coverage of legal requirements has evolved to a comprehensive compliance solution for worldwide requirements in all relevant areas – e-Invoicing, e-Payment, e-Delivery and e-Reporting.

Today cbs e-world.cloud is still the only fully SAP process integrated one-stop solution that includes advisory, implementation, legal change and support services with highest quality, security and resilience.

The „e“ in e-world.cloud is also a synonym for classical EDI topics that are part of the digitalization journey of every company. This blurs the boundaries between the two areas and enables integration scenarios that combines legal communication with supplier specific requirements (e.g. Advanced Shipping Number).

With regards to the inbound process the platform enables integration into a wide range of incoming invoice solutions to enable mapping between legal formats and 3rd party tools to avoid error-prone OCR scanning logic. With involving AI technologies, cbs is able to speed up and automate the processing of incoming invoices in SAP backend.

No matter if you are running SAP ECC or SAP S/4 onPremise or “RISE with SAP” – cbs e-world.cloud is your strategic platform for compliant and resilient digital processes.

E-invoicing — a digital paradoxon

E-invoicing is dead, long live e-Compliance. E-invoicing is misleading. Today E-invoicing represents more than just electronic invoices. It covers a lot of interactions between partners, and more and more the interaction with the government to get transparency about business transactions. This ranges from invoices to deliveries, from reportings to payment flows and is required in real-time or based upon a fixed schedule.

Evolution to e-Compliance

E-invoicing is not just EDI, it has strong impacts and dependencies on business processes and master data. E-invoicing is more and more becoming e-Compliance with massive integration and insights for local governments.
