4 key benefits of integrating cloud-based billing vs. traditional methods

As a result of the recent Post Office strike action, many businesses across South Africa have been left in a rather awkward situation where their billing is concerned.

The major problem businesses are facing is that invoices and statements have not yet been delivered to clients who receive theirs via post and the result has been a major delay with payments.

There may be various ways and means around retrieving your balance as a “postal” customer, but who wants to be inconvenienced that way? As the saying goes: “Ain’t nobody got time for that”.

The solution is pretty simple, businesses need to focus on steering away from traditional methods of billing and move on to a faster, automated, cost-effective and reliable method of managing their billing.
