Bulk Send
Send many invoices at once to multiple recipients while preserving individualized fields and unique identifiers for each vehicle.
Using a standardized electronic vehicle invoice format reduces manual errors, accelerates deal closure, and keeps a verifiable audit trail for compliance and recordkeeping purposes.
A fleet manager prepares aggregated invoices, verifies VINs and vehicle condition entries, and routes invoices for electronic signature from purchasers and internal approvers. They require template controls and bulk send capabilities to process multiple vehicles efficiently while retaining compliance records for audits.
