The Federal Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources is streamlining their invoice process to support Australia's economic bounce back.

Adelaide, 24th of February, 2021Link4 announce that another key Federal government department will be using their PEPPOL accredited access point to meet their e-Invoicing needs. Xcellerate IT and Link4 have been working together to implement e-Invoicing ahead of the government e-Invoicing mandate.e-Invoicing will give government departments the ability to receive invoices instantly, without the need for email and PDFs. This helps to automate the procure-to-payprocess, increasing their efficiency and making the process more secure. As PDF invoices are being intercepted and altered more frequently, e-Invoicing provides a securechannel for invoices to be delivered and processed in a safer way.By processing invoices faster, the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources will be supporting small businesses (SMEs) to increase their cash flow andreduce the pain of having to wait on outstanding invoice payments.Departments which focus on economic growth, transformation and support of businesses, especially for SMEs would value e-invoicing. It can help them achieve theirgoals and make a commitment to pay invoices within 5 days, which can be achieved through e-invoicing.\Link4 was chosen, based on how our service operates under the PEPPOL network and our ability to on-board invoices to the Kofax platform, which is supported by Xcellerate IT.
