When companies are starting out, invoicing is pretty straightforward. It’s when the volume of customers increases that it starts to become a challenge. This is when digitizing invoicing becomes essential to a business’s ability to continue to grow.
The E-Invoicing Solutions Certificate (ESC) is designed to provide a comprehensive and practical knowledge of the processes and benefits of implementing e-invoicing solutions to grow your business. The programme covers what e-invoicing entails, the steps required to adopt it, as well as the key things to note in order to ensure successful implementation.
Created alongside Mastercard, in partnership with Basware and Xero, this ICC programme leverages a deep understanding of the digital payment ecosystem. For the last 50 years, Mastercard has been helping SMEs digitize and improve access to credit.
