New research has found that the UK public sector could be wasting as much as £2bn a year as a result of being slow to take up e-invoicing. The adoption of e-invoicing would make a real contribution to economic growth in the UK, driving productivity and efficiency by allowing greater output of goods and services for lower factor inputs, whilst also facilitating prompt payments and providing much-needed liquidity to many SME suppliers of large companies and the public sector.

However experts caution that instead of cashing in for Christmas, UK retailers could be left with a £640m worth of lost sales caused by retail operations struggling to cope with a dramatic surge in sales.
