Tradeshift has been selected by Air France-KLM, one of Europe’s largest airline groups, for its e-invoicing platform. The web-based platform will give Air France-KLM and its suppliers the ability to increase invoicing accuracy and improve visibility of the payment process and status.

Tradeshift’s cloud-based, e-invoicing and procure-to-pay solution will initially be used by a select number of Air France-KLM’s suppliers to process more than half a million invoices annually. Potential adoption of the platform will be studied for e-procurement flows.

One of the reasons the airline opted to implement Tradeshift was due to their clear offer, strategy, business model and proven supplier on-boarding rates.

"The global nature of the airline industry makes doing business inherently complex because it requires speed, flexibility and seamless collaboration in many aspects of our business, especially transactions and accounts payable," said Thierry Bellon, Air France CPO.

 "Tradeshift’s platform ensures that something as simple as an invoice doesn’t slow down our 24/7 business, benefiting both our company and our suppliers."
