Over the last year, many companies have been re-evaluating their strategy for managing Brazil Nota Fiscal and Latin America eInvoicing in general. These changes are due to Production Support issues and costs of in-house solutions. Many companies don't fully understand the issues with purely in-house software, so in this blog we are covering some of the most common issues and negative business affects. If you are running an in-house solution make sure you understand the true cost of operating that solution.
Common support issues:
With four distinct monitors for an end-to-end process, how is your organization dealing with small errors, let alone process errors such as the coordination of cancelling a Nota Fiscal. These issues cause shipping delays, fire drills at the ERP COE, and in some cases shutting down a plant and customer deliveries. Can your organization really afford to have your plant shut down, what is the cost of this to your operations?
In summary, make sure you understand your Nota Fiscal solution beyond just functional check boxes. The real issues and costs are in the implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of the solution. Look for solution providers that solve all three issues including production support and ongoing change management. Many Fortune 500 companies are turning to hybrid offerings that place the burden of production support and change management on the provider. The elimination of multiple NFe hardware boxes, middleware instances, constant ERP configurations, day to day monitoring and fixes, and reallocation of staff to growing the business can have a huge ROI. With the new 2013 changes and forced licensing for new inbound processes, let alone the implementation costs -- it is time to re-evaluate your Latin America compliance strategy, especially Brazil Nota Fiscal.
