Best Practice: Electronic Payments to Suppliers

bestpractice-blog

 

In today’s buzzwords, quite often you hear about best practices, but what does that mean?  According to the definition, “a best practice is a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark.” 

In accounting and bookkeeping, many best practices deal with consistency, functionality and efficiency, along with saving money and time.  For payroll do you remember how long it used to take to write a cheque, get it signed and distribute?  This is certainly not a best practice anymore.

Green Is The New Black

Green messages are everywhere these days and for good reason. The environment is in the news, politics and in technology. While it is easy to be overwhelmed with gas emissions, global warming and the diminishing rainforest in Brazil, it’s also simple to start making positive choices, by first examining our own patterns.

Everything thing we do has a daily impact on the planet, both good and bad. The good news is that as an individual you have the power to choose and do your part for the environment. From where you live, what you eat, what you drive and even how you run your business, can all be geared to be greener.

Our Responsibility to the Environment

Telpay is in the fortunate position that our electronic payment solutions, by their very nature, have a positive effect on the environment. By reducing paper payments, encouraging electronic billing, and providing electronic bill payment systems that allow individuals and businesses to store their accounting records electronically, we believe we can lead the way towards significant reductions in the amount of paper required to conduct business. Using paper in the office has environmental and economic costs. Therefore, reducing paper usage makes green and business cents.

Go Green

Going green, is yet another good reason to choose Telpay. Electronic payments over cheques will have a positive impact on the environment. Way to go, by partnering with Telpay, your business just got greener. Isn’t it nice to know that Telpay is good for our environment and your business too!

It’s Easy to Be Green

Congratulations to all of our Green customers who have made the switch to electronic payments! With Telpay, it’s easy to be green with our Save a Tree-Plant a Tree Program.

In the first year, our Save a Tree-Plant a Tree Program has been a big success with over 1,700 Telpay customers and counting who reached the 100 bill payment milestone. We’re thrilled to be honouring their milestone by planting trees with the help of Tree Canada in 2015.

By doing their payments electronically, each of these customers have drastically reduced their paper waste that would have been made by sending their payments out by cheque. Not only did they save the paper that would have been used for the cheques, but also spared the waste generated by envelopes, stamps, and the CO2 emissions produced by the physical transportation and delivery of mail.
