"As more European countries implement mandatory electronic invoicing and reporting, multinational organizations face significant challenges in managing compliance due to differing standards and regulations. While compliance is a strong driver for adoption, digital invoicing strategies provide a competitive advantage to businesses looking to increase spend efficiency, optimize processes, and realize greater savings and growth opportunities," said João Paulo da Silva , Coupa Regional President, EMEA and APAC.
