Environment protection with online-invoices

With the help of a online-invoicingsoftware you are not only able to save costs, you can also protect the environment actively. Several businesses creating daily a bunch of traditional paper-invoices which are then send via snail-mail.

In most workflows it does not just need one copy of the invoice, estimate, credit-note etc.. No, mostly there are made several copys of each dokument. Therefore not only the paper-usage rises – just think about printer-problems, stamp-costs and the toners which are also hazardous to health.

Recovered Paper is, on a quantity basis, one of the key-ressources in the german paper-industry. But we have to mention all the time, that paper-fibers can just be recovered five times. The paper-usage of the germans rises from the 1950’s to today twelve times und in the year 2008 there where produced 22.000 tons of paper. The average german does need 650g of paper a day – from tissues to printed dokuments. For production of paper not just wood is needed, there are lots of other ressources like water and energy which are used. The paper-usage does therefore directly impact the environment and clima.

That is why we would give you this thought-provoking impulse.

Off course we know that we will not be able to rescue the world environment while using an online-invoicing-solution. But we are able to contribute our little part to environment protection. Cause many little helpers will, at the end, make this big task happen. Let’s start with saving paper.

The Sales King GmbH tries also to protect environment with some other actions. For example we utilize our servers to a maximum cause of virtualizing, do run our servers with ecologic-power and mind also in our data processing center a clima-friendly cooling. Those ideas are driven through the company down to our source code, where for example optimized database querys use to downgrade the servers need of power.

You see, on several occasions we are all able to actively save energy and protect our environment and clima.
