At the core of this series is "Money Forward Cloud Invoice," which has supported the efficiency of various billing tasks, including invoice creation, since its release in 2014, contributing to the improvement of business productivity. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises still face challenges such as inefficient paper-based accounting tasks and opaque management information, leading to low productivity as a social issue.
