Manually
Despite the rise of digital solutions, 33% of businesses in our poll still rely on manual methods to track the status of their invoices. While manual tracking can be effective in smaller operations with fewer invoices, it becomes increasingly difficult as the volume of transactions grows. Using spreadsheets or other paper-based systems introduces a higher risk of human error, delays, and inefficiencies. Manually tracking invoices can lead to missed payments, overlooked deadlines, and potential cash flow issues.
Accounting software
According to our poll, 20% of businesses use accounting software to track the status of their invoices. Accounting software is a significant upgrade from manual tracking, offering businesses automation and the ability to centralise their financial records. This can help streamline invoice management, track payment statuses, and even set up reminders for outstanding payments.
e-Invoicing platform
With 47% of businesses now using e-invoicing platforms, it’s clear that this method is becoming the most popular method for tracking invoices. E-invoicing platforms automate the entire invoicing process, from creation and sending to tracking and payment reminders. These platforms offer real-time updates, allowing businesses to see the exact status of each invoice — whether it’s been sent, received, approved, or paid.
Not tracked
No one is leaving invoices untracked. It’s interesting to note that none of our poll respondents reported not tracking their invoices. This suggests that businesses recognise the importance of monitoring their invoicing process to ensure timely payments and prevent cash flow disruptions. While methods differ, every business understands the necessity of some form of invoice tracking to maintain financial control and avoid payment delays.
