Cost-Efficient and Legally Compliant E-Invoicing Processes for Sysmex Europe

The healthcare company Sysmex Europe GmbH has relied on SEEBURGER for the digitalization of its business processes for many years. SEEBURGER's Business Integration Suite (BIS) is used by Sysmex to achieve cost-efficient and automated integration of its customers, suppliers and logisticians.

Motivated by legal requirements, business partner requirements and its own demand for modern digital e-invoicing processes, the company needed to:

  • Increase billing process efficiency
  • Fulfill diverse, country-specific requirements and legal requirements
  • Cater to specific customer and supplier requirements
  • Provide SAP-integrated invoicing processes with convenient monitoring functionality for the business departments

 

Compliance with SAP-integrated Solutions and Expertise from SEEBURGER

The SAP-integrated e-invoicing solution from SEEBURGER offers Sysmex an efficient, convenient and requirement-oriented approach to processing incoming and outgoing invoices. SEEBURGER's solution also provides welcome enhancements for process integration with SAP. This enables the company to automate invoice processes internationally, ensure compliance, meet business partner requirements and – above all – offer SAP users from specialist departments a familiar environment for e-invoicing processes.

The initial solution was set up with only a few days of effort and enabled Sysmex to quickly meet the complex e-invoicing requirements in Turkey. This success was the basis for the strategic decision to implement all further country requirements using the powerful, scalable and reliable SEEBURGER solution in combination with SAP.

With SEEBURGER's e-invoicing solution and expertise, we are able to efficiently exchange invoices electronically while meeting all compliance requirements in Europe.
