MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Esker, a global authority in document process automation solutions, today announced it has been selected by eSlip — an international startup company that allows customers to manage their estimates, invoices, expenses and timesheets — to increase capabilities and efficiencies for international mail, fax and email delivery through their comprehensive online accounting solution.
When eSlip launched in France approximately one year ago, a primary goal was to distinguish themselves from everyone else. “A lot of the companies we work with don’t necessarily have an accounting department to effectively manage their workflow,” said Louis Le Coeur, President of eSlip. “We built eSlip as a simple, web-based application that essentially does a company’s accounting for them.”
Going global
Shortly thereafter, influenced by its success in France and driven by an ambitious team of former consultants, eSlip sought to expand its services to the United States. “Our intentions started modestly, mailing 40-50 documents a month in France, but quickly shifted to targeting a global customer base,” said Le Coeur. “We needed a partner that would enable us and our customers to use the same platform in both France and the United States.”
Enter Esker
As a customer with Esker France for several years, Louis Le Coeur already knew he had the perfect solution for his burgeoning international business. “From a global standpoint, we didn’t consider anyone but Esker,” said Le Coeur. “Their technology allowed us to print in the U.S. and France from the same system, and it was incredibly easy to implement and communicate between platforms. And, no other competitor had fax capability — Esker is a unique player in this field.”
Esker is the first company to offer a worldwide network of interconnected on-demand mail facilities and guarantee mail delivery by local postal services within 24 hours of documents being generated. Today, over 675 Esker Mail Services customers across a wide variety of industries use Esker mail facilities for diverse document delivery needs — invoices, collection letters, business correspondence and marketing communications.
Promising results
One week after initial implementation with the Esker International Mail Solution, eSlip was already printing documents all across the world and was fully integrated by the third week. Le Coeur added, “The Esker customer service team was excellent. We got the answers and support we needed to make it work faster and better than any of us expected.”
Regarding subsequent plans for eSlip and its partnership with Esker, Le Coeur was optimistic. “We’re going to continue utilizing Esker’s mail and fax capabilities, and also have plans to broaden internationally to South America. The stage is set for us to continue growing and expand our global footprint.”
About eSlip
eSlip was founded in 2011 by a team of former Harvard graduates and management consultants, in a small office by the Seine River in Paris. Over the course of their international consulting career, the founders searched for better ways to manage expenses, track time and bill clients across multiple countries, currencies and tax systems. Because no integrated solution existed, they built the first truly international online invoicing application — eSlip.
From freelancers to large professional services firms, eSlip’s customers are now able to collect expense receipts from their consultants in London and timesheets from their Dubai lawyers, while sending out invoices by postal mail to their Italian and Canadian clients — all in the same day, all in one click.
