LONDON and MEXICO CITY, February
24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Mexican shipping firm Estafeta joins
the global e-Invoicing network
OB10, the global e-Invoicing network that is part of Tungsten
Corporation plc (LSE:TUNG), and Buzón E, a Mexican
government-accredited e-Invoicing service provider, have
extended their partnership through a reseller agreement that allows
Buzón E to take OB10's straight-through-processing services to
organisations in Mexico.
The collaboration has signed Estafeta, the country's leading
shipping firm and Buzón E parent company, as the first buyer
customer to join the network in the region.
e-Invoicing is mandated for all Mexican companies. Due to recent
legislative changes, organisations can no longer self-generate
electronic invoices but must send them through one of 77 authorised
service providers, such as Buzón E. By becoming an OB10 reseller,
Buzón E is introducing additional value to its fiscally compliant
invoicing services by bringing touchless processing to Mexican
companies.
"Electronic invoicing is more than just a regulatory
requirement," said Benito Celorio,
Managing Director at Buzón E. "Through our partnership with OB10,
we can enable existing and future customers to eliminate invoice
exceptions and manual intervention, and automate the process from
invoice to pay."
By adopting e-Invoicing through Buzón E and OB10, Estafeta is
setting a new standard for Mexican multinationals. "This is our
opportunity to drive greater efficiencies into our processes,
enhance our payment-on-time targets and improve relations with
suppliers," said Gerardo Pinto,
Chief Financial Officer at Estafeta. "We are proud to be the first
Mexican buyer organisation on the OB10 network."
The enhanced partnership between OB10 and Buzón E demonstrates
the combined level of commitment to improving purchase-to-pay
operations in the region. "Governments around the world look to
Mexico as an example of the real
impact e-Invoicing can have on their economies," said Edmund Truell, Group CEO at Tungsten. "By
working with Buzón E and Estafeta, we will show how both businesses
and tax administrations can dramatically reduce cost and increase
value through straight-through invoice processing."
