Act quickly with the right digital tools: key to the economic success of SMEs

The first step is a direct and secure connection

Whether a company manufactures products or provides services, administrative tasks such as invoices, receivables, payables, etc. need to be done on a daily basis. Companies need a direct link to their bank to simplify these transactions and optimise their cash management. Business link provides companies with a highly secure link from their financial software to their bank.

Choose an efficient invoicing method to optimise cash inflow

All business activities require the processing of invoices, whether they are to be issued, paid or received. The QR-bill, which will replace payment slips that are to disappear permanently on 30 September 2022, provides companies with a standardised and reliable method of invoicing. It incorporates a Swiss QR Code that contains all the payment information, so that the company can automate the reconciliation of incoming or outgoing payments or the monitoring of its invoices.

The eBill enables companies to issue digital invoices that are sent directly to their customers' online banking platform. The payer simply has to check and validate the invoices, thus offering a paperless solution.

Act in time with the right digital solutions

To be able to react quickly, entrepreneurs need platforms that allow them to consult accounts and deposits, and carry out transactions and even trade securities at any time. Louis G., owner of an SME active in the training sector in the Lake Geneva region, tells us how he was able to acquire a video-conferencing system that was of key importance to his company:

"While travelling on the train for business, I received a text message from my accountant asking me to validate an urgent payment. I immediately used my BCGE Mobile Netbanking application to confirm the payment with a second signature. The transaction was executed immediately and reconciled with my accounting software thanks to the tools provided by my bank. I was thus able to act quickly, efficiently and at the right time."

Increase visibility and turnover online

e-Commerce offers excellent opportunities for growth thanks to the range of possibilities it generates. There is a suitable solution for every type of business looking for a platform with a reliable payment system. BCGE has set up a centre of expertise devoted to assisting corporate clients with their digital requirements, so that digitalisation is synonymous with efficiency and not complexity.
