Electronic invoices (e-invoices) replace hardcopy invoices. They are sent to the e-mail address given in the acceptance form instead of being delivered by Polish Post (traditional mail). E-invoices have the form of PDF files, are electronically signed and furnished with a Qualified Time Stamp. E-invoices have the same accounting and tax features as traditional (hard-copy) invoices.
E-invoices facilitate expense planning as they are received much in advance. Consequently, delays in the payments and their unpleasant consequences are eliminated - an e-invoice comes always on time.
When using e-invoices, you can get rid of hardcopies of documents that take up space in your office (e-invoices are stored in an e-folder).

With such solution in place, you can pick up the document at any place with an Internet access. Additionally, an e-invoice does not use up natural resources and is environmentally friendly.
