Introduction
Invoices and Settlements remain one of the most manual and labor-intensive process in commodities and broader financial trading industry. The quantum of data makes the invoices and corresponding reconciliation a nightmare.
Faxes and documents (paper) via email remain the primary channel for exchanging invoices to Counterparts, Brokers/Clients, Agents, and Farmers. Though automation has been adopted in some internal tasks of reconciliation, the data exchange remains highly manual and paper based.
Data Driven and Digital Commodities has taken forefront role in commodities technology.
Manual and Paper based Invoice Management can lead to:
- Longer Processing Times (using combination of electronic and manual steps)
- Increased Human Error/Costs
- Faulty Communication leading to unintended delays
- Lack of Auditability/Compliance
