🧐 Problem Statement
1. Inefficiency in Invoice Management Managing invoices is a time-consuming and error-prone process for businesses, often requiring multiple steps and involving various intermediaries. This inefficiency can lead to delayed payments, lost invoices, and increased administrative costs.
2. Cash Flow Challenges Businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), frequently face cash flow issues due to delayed payments. Traditional invoice factoring and financing solutions are often costly and involve lengthy approval processes.
3. Lack of Transparency and Security Traditional invoicing systems lack transparency, making it difficult for businesses to track the status of invoices and payments. Additionally, these systems are vulnerable to fraud and data breaches.
4. Limited Access to Financing Small businesses often struggle to access financing due to stringent requirements and lack of collateral. Traditional financial intermediaries impose high fees and interest rates, making financing expensive and less accessible.
