The shift to structured digital invoicing goes far beyond finance and AP teams - it will reshape systems, processes, and supply chains across construction. In this session, we’ll recap what’s confirmed, highlight the industry’s immediate priorities, and address common misconceptions, including why PDF extraction isn’t a viable long‑term solution.
