About B2B

Business2.Business was founded in 2017 in response to a customer's requirement to extract data from their Excel-based payment request forms and return it as an XML document capable of being imported into their invoice processing software.

Since then we've developed solutions capable of extracting data from PDF invoices and purchase orders, CSV, EDI and XML files.

We are a 100% Australian owned and operated business with customers in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, England, Canada and the USA.

We faciliated the piloting of what is now known as the the AUS-NZ PEPPOL network, acting as 'corner 3' of the four-corner model.

In 2022 we embarked on an ambitious project to capture invoice data from some 800+ vendors for some 700+ stores managed by an in-house shared-services team. This project was a huge success and provided capabilities such as matching address blocks to specific business units, invoice lines to cost centres and validating document content against custom criteria. Attachments to 'parent' invoices were able to be joined into a single document to facilitate archiving and analytics. The impact of this project has been a drastic reduction in late payments, less overtime needed, and more time for value-added analysis of the rich data.

TECHNICAL INTEGRATION

Flexible and Customer Focussed

Ready to Go

25+ years of technical and project management experience.

We understand that the first step can often be the most difficult. Getting a project off the ground can involve numerous risk assessments, cost-benefit checks and technical revisons; not to mention business analysis and data validation.

Most of our services are simply 'plug and play'. Simply redirect your emails to us, and we do all the rest. We are an 'inter-operator' in the Basware Commerce Network and can also plug into the global "PEPPOL" network.

We'll work with your customers and vendors to find the optimal solution for both content and delivery.

To kick things off we recommend you have a Business Analyst, Procure/Pay Manager and a Technical boffin who can talk the zeroes and ones of integration.

Production Phase

Continuous Process Improvement.

Documents are processed on receipt and immediately forwarded to their destination following the transformation process.

Variations are addressed in-situ based on agreed parameters.

Exception management is largely automated so that your team remain fully informed of any issues.

Secret Sauce

If you do it more then once, automate it.

Our technical philosphy is eliminate as many manual and repetitious processes as possible.

Our business strategy is to drive growth through exceptional customer service and data quality.

Our secret sauce? Per-vendor template based extraction. A well-defined template will deliver 100% data accuracy each and every time. Interperative methods such as OCR and AI have a built-in error rate and are not consistent with our 'Perfect or Free' guarantee. Obviously some templates will need a tweak from time to time, but this is the proven, reliable and consitent methodology that keeps our customers coming back for more.

    Multiple QR codes are provided in different sizes for each Site you enter. From small thumbnails through to images scalable to bill-board sizes. A sign-in sheet is also provided, containing the QR code for the Site so that anyone without a phone can go 'old-school' and still sign-in.
