The Future of Invoicing: How e-Invoicing Boosts Efficiency and Reduces Errors

19 March 2025

E-invoicing is becoming more and more popular in New Zealand and Australia. E-invoicing is where you deliver an e-invoice directly into your customers accounting software without it needing to be emailed to the customer. E-invoicing has a number of benefits, and best of all, you don’t need to be using the same accounting software as your customers. 


E-Invoicing allows you to: 

  • Streamline payments which improves your cash flow
  • Eliminate data entry errors
  • Reduce admin which saves time and money
  • Enhance security as invoices are sent directly between trusted networks which means they can’t be intercepted and altered. 


The Government is already making moves to e-Invoicing. From 1 January 2026, any government agency which processes over 2,000 domestic invoices annually must use e-invoicing and pay 95% of these invoices within five business days. 


Back in 2019, the New Zealand and Australian governments set up the e-invoicing framework for both countries, which uses a New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) as a global ID for every business. It has been adopted by software provider including MYOB and you can e-invoice your customers, or receive e-invoices from suppliers, even if they don’t use the same platform.
