Maventa, one of the fastest growing electronic invoicing service providers in the world, today announced that leading analyst firm Gartner has named Maventa as a Cool Vendor in their newly released report on Multi-enterprise B2B.

Vendors selected for the Cool Vendor report are “innovative, impactful and intriguing”

Maventa’s award winning Software-as-a-Service solution makes electronic invoicing simple, cost-efficient and immediately available without upfront investments or process changes. Maventa offers all the benefits of high-end e-invoicing platforms purely on transaction based pricing without any fixed costs or minimum term periods. Besides the superior technology, Maventa’s intra-network transactions are completely free of charge – which has further pushed forward Maventa’s viral growth.

Gartner’s 2010 Cool Vendors in Multienterprise B2B, listing focuses on “as the notion that electronic transactions enable efficiency and save money becomes widespread, and B2B projects proliferate, some nascent vendors are offering interesting, low-cost-of-entry opportunities, especially for small and midsize businesses, for reducing the costs of electronic trading”

“We are delighted by Gartner’s recognition as a ‘Cool Vendor’ and view it as an important validation of Maventa’s position as a leading electronic invoicing platform,” said Kim Forsman, founder and CEO of Maventa. “Our customer growth rate of 40% month-on-month along with the fact that 97% of our customers are new to electronic invoicing demonstrates that not only have we created truly innovative technology, but something that is impacting how the electronic invoicing market shapes in 13 countries where we have customers”.

Maventa’s technology is instantly available and can be adopted within a company in a matter of minutes from the implementation decision, instead of typical electronic invoicing implementation projects, which may drag on for months. The key to our fast deployment is that the customer doesn’t need to change any of their processes or systems in order to deliver or receive electronic invoices. Maventa is offering its services daily to customers in over 13 different countries, including UK, India, Poland, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, The Netherlands, Italy and Spain among others.
