Basware Commerce Network Reaches 100 Million Network Transactions

Finland-based Basware announced recently that the Basware Commerce Network had crested 100 million annualized eInvoice and purchase order transactions sent and received through the network. Governments from the Americas to Europe have pushed eInvoicing for business-to-government (“B2G”) suppliers in recent weeks, a trend that has significantly benefited the overall growth of Basware’s network. Currently, the Basware Commerce Network connects to more than 200 other business-to-business (“B2B”) networks, which helps push its growth forward.

This is the latest good news for Basware, which last week reported earnings growth and three weeks ago launched a brand-new product in the form of CloudScan. Basware remains one of the leaders in the burgeoning business network marketplace, and this growth in network transactions makes clear that the solution provider is making sound strategic choices and focusing on building their core strengths out. The trend toward eInvoicing in the B2G space should only further benefit Basware and its entire marketplace.
