As a result, AVEC implemented InvoiceCloud to overhaul its billing process to streamline utility payments, introduce paperless billing, and make AutoPay more accessible. This digital transformation was not only a technological upgrade but also a lifeline for many members who rely on electricity to preserve food obtained through subsistence lifestyles. Since going live with InvoiceCloud in June 2021, AVEC went from having no paperless billing option to enrolling over 6,500 members in the new offering, in addition to a 250x increase in AutoPay enrollment, and an average monthly savings of over $20,000 on invoicing costs, as of September 2024.
