ABOUT THIS EPISODE
$33 trillion in global trade runs on a flimsy piece of paper — the invoice. Fethi Rabhi and Alan Hsiao on why "electronic invoicing" mostly isn't, and what actually has to change.
Fethi Rabhi is Professor of Software Engineering at UNSW; Alan Hsiao is Founder and CEO of Cognitivo, an AI company focused on making natural-language interfaces work with structured systems.
What we cover:
• Why a PDF invoice sent by email isn't "e-invoicing" — real e-invoicing has no human eyes on either end
• PEPPOL, explained: a transmission standard, not a full data integration solution
• The tension between rigid structured standards and natural-language flexibility
• Why invoice factoring is quietly a ~27% APR product
• Why Alan is calling time on the ERP era in favour of agent-to-agent commerce
