The Esker AR solution allows companies to automate the delivery and archiving of both electronic and paper invoices. Esker AR is the first cloud-based solution to offer 100 percent automation of customer invoice delivery worldwide.

With the Esker AR solution, paper invoices are produced and delivered to the postal service within 24 hours of being generated, thanks to a worldwide network of Esker mail production facilities. Esker’s strength in invoicing extends to electronic invoices as well. The Esker AR solution validates e-invoices from billing applications, applies appropriate signatures and time-stamps, and verifies compliance with tax regulations in over 40 countries.

Solidifying its position as a key player in the electronic invoicing space, Esker is featured in the recently released 2011 Billentis report titled "E-invoicing / E-billing in Europe and abroad – from evolution to revolution."* Esker’s competence in tailoring its solutions for specific needs is also demonstrated by the ability to deliver electronic invoices in the "FACTURAE" format – a mandatory e-invoice format required by the Spanish government.
