CON-WAY TO OFFER ELECTRONIC INVOICES

CON-WAY TO OFFER ELECTRONIC INVOICES

   Con-Way Transportation Services Inc., the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based group of less-than-truckload service providers, said shippers can now elect to receive their invoices electronically via e-mail.

   Customers can receive e-mail notifications of newly created invoices regardless of the invoice presentment type — paper, electronic data interface (EDI) or portable document format (PDF).

   The service means reduced data entry time, increased data entry accuracy, eliminating paper storage of invoices, improved speed and accuracy of invoice processing and better pre-plan for accounts payable, Con-Way said. The feature will also enable customers to more quickly complete background searches on invoices, the company added.

   Con-Way is a subsidiary of Palo Alto, Calif.-based CNF Inc.
