Why the invoicing process is often the biggest challenge

For many companies in logistics and trade , on-time and reliable delivery is already automated – whereas invoice issuance and receipt of payment are often still manual, slow, and error-prone. In many businesses, invoices are sent by email, incoming payments are tracked in Excel lists, and reminders are sent only "when there is time". This leads to:

• Payment delays

• Liquidity bottlenecks

• Additional workload for the back office

• Untapped potential in digitalization

Especially in major cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Stuttgart or Dortmund, where operating costs, wages, and rents are high, missed or delayed payments can quickly become a financial burden.

The solution: automate billing with KLEVERBILL

KLEVERBILL was developed specifically to handle the entire invoicing process digitally and automatically – from creation and dispatch through dunning and payment monitoring.

For logistics companies, freight forwarders, wholesalers, and B2B shops, this means:less 

effort, fewer errors, faster payments and more time for core business.

How does automated billing with KLEVERBILL work?

1. Invoice creation:Immediately after an order or delivery is completed, the invoice is created digitally – automatically if desired.

2. Trigger dispatch:With a click, the invoice is sent by email or automatically by post – depending on customer preference.

3. Monitor incoming payments:By connecting to your bank account, KLEVERBILL automatically detects whether the invoice has been paid.

4. Remind and dunning:If payment is not received, a payment reminder or dunning notice is sent promptly – tailored to your requirements.

5. Initiate follow-up steps:Optionally, further measures such as collections or blocking notes can be triggered automatically.

The result: A completely automated, reliable process, that runs independently of day-to-day operations – and significantly improves your liquidity.
