About Me
Invoice Status Visibility O&G Industry (Present) Many Operators have e-invoice Initiatives in operation or underway. On average 35% Electronic / EDI V 65% Paper Very few provide Visibility on the necessary KPIs to fully leverage the process efficiencies and cost reductions. Many do not provide Workflow Status / Remittance Data, under 8% provide full visibility on Invoice Status. Cost per 1 Page Invoice processing ranges from $1.30 to $67.30 all inclusive. Right First Time needs improved- Rework is high, approx 3-7% Automated Validation extremely low Many SME s and Mom & Pops type organizations are struggling with DSO, some even going to the wall through lack of Finance to fund DSO.
