Why invoice external services in the Online Billing Portal?

Online invoicing of external services is particularly advantageous in plant construction, as projects are often large, complex and in many cases international. Several subcontractors and service providers are usually involved, and organizing the billing of these external services online brings specific advantages:

Optimal coordination and transparency for large projects
Plant construction projects often involve a large number of service providers, each of which provides specialized services. Thanks to the central, online billing platform, all parties involved - from the main contractor to the subcontractors - can access the latest data and understand how costs and billing are developing.

Real-time overview of costs and project status
Project management can monitor the financial status in real time at any time and gain immediate insight into all invoices for external services. This is crucial for transparent cost management and enables early detection of budget overruns or unforeseen expenses.

Simplified compliance and auditability
Plant construction projects are often subject to strict legal and contractual requirements. An online platform for invoicing can make it easier to document and comply with regulations, as all relevant data is stored securely and traceably. This is also an advantage for audits or legal reviews.

Efficiency
Automated workflows for approval processes and invoice checks reduce delays and errors. This allows invoices to be checked faster and payments to be processed more efficiently, improving collaboration with subcontractors and avoiding potential late fees.

Better control over project-related external services
Online invoicing makes it easier to check the actual expenditure of individual subcontractors against the agreed services. The online solution ensures that only services that have actually been provided are billed, avoiding incorrect or overbilling.

Improved traceability and transparency in the documentation
In plant construction projects, it is often necessary to document all steps and invoices precisely and keep them available for later analysis. An online invoicing solution keeps detailed logs that can be easily retrieved if required.

Simplified international collaboration
As teams from different countries and locations are often involved in plant construction, an online platform facilitates uniform invoicing across geographical borders. Different currencies and tax regulations can be taken into account more easily.

These advantages lead to more efficient processing, absolute transparency, greater accuracy and cost control and improved collaboration with external service providers in plant construction.
