Powering Efficiency: How Electronic Receipts (e-receipt) Benefit Energy Companies 1300 972 Exist Software Labs

In today’s fast-paced business environment, energy companies in the Philippines are embracing digital transformation to streamline their operations and enhance efficiency. One initiative where significant benefits are realized is the adoption of Electronic Receipts (e-receipt).

What are Electronic Receipts (e-receipt)?

Electronic Receipts (e-receipt) revolutionizes the way businesses manage their financial transactions, providing a seamless and paperless receipting experience. By harnessing cutting-edge digital technology, electronic receipt allows companies to generate, send, and store official receipts with just a few clicks, eliminating the need for traditional paper receipts.

Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) Rules on Electronic Receipts (e-receipt) and e-invoices

On June 30, 2022, the BIR released Revenue Regulations No. 8-2022. Anchored on the amended Sections 237 and 237-A of the National Internal Revenue Code (NIRC) through Republic Act No. 10963 (TRAIN Law), these regulations chart a bold course toward issuing electronic receipts and invoices.

According to the Regulations, taxpayers required to issue electronic receipts or sales commercial invoices are the following:

  1. Taxpayers who export goods and services;
  2. Taxpayers who engage in electronic commerce (e-commerce); and
  3. Taxpayers who are under the Large Taxpayers Service (LTS).

This requirement is based on Section 47 of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended.

With this development, manual receipts and sales or commercial invoices are left behind in favor of their digital counterparts. Energy companies are now embracing the conveniences of electronic invoicing, marking a transformative shift in tax reporting and compliance. The Regulations also outline the requirements for electronic reports of sales data to the BIR, further solidifying the digital revolution.

On Mobile Banking Solutions: How Banks can Dismantle Fraudulence & Identity Theft

On Mobile Banking Solutions: How Banks can Dismantle Fraudulence & Identity Theft 1300 972 Exist Software Labs

As the digital banking revolution continues to gain momentum, banks and financial institutions are witnessing unprecedented growth in the use of mobile internet banking solutions. The Philippines, in particular, has seen a surge in the adoption of digital banking, especially among the tech-savvy Gen Z and millennial target market.

The adoption of digital banking among Filipinos is soaring, reaching unprecedented levels. As per the BSP’s study, more than half of Filipino adults (56%) now own a bank account, with 36% of these accounts being digital. Additionally, electronic payments have seen a remarkable surge, with an assumption increase to 50% in 2023, a substantial increase from a mere 1% in 2013. The growing popularity of digital banking can be attributed to the increasing awareness of its advantages, including convenience, security, cost savings, and health and safety reasons, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

While this rapid shift towards digital banking offers numerous benefits such as enhanced user experience, convenience, and automation, it also presents a pressing challenge: an alarming increase in fraudulence and identity theft.

A study in 2021 by TransUnion, a global transformation company, said that a 31% increase was observed in digital fraud attempts against enterprises in the Philippines from March 2019 to March 2020, compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sectors with the highest number of suspected digital fraud attempts were telecommunications, logistics, and financial services. 

The article also states that scammers are using fraudulent credit cards to purchase high-end phones and sell them back in the black market. Up to this day, numerous risks exist that banks should be aware of and manage, if not eliminate, by adapting banking solutions and  technologies designed to address these.

As a technology company providing digital banking solutions for banks, Exist Software Labs, Inc. is well aware of the risks associated with this paradigm shift. In this blog, we delve into the complexities of fraud in banking and present actionable strategies that C-levels and CTOs can implement to safeguard their institutions and customers.

1. The Rising Tide of Fraud in Digital Banking

What are the key factors contributing to the surge in fraudulence and identity theft in digital banking?

The rapid transition towards digital banking is attracting the attention of fraudsters seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in the system. Factors such as inadequate security measures, weak user authentication, and the growing sophistication of cybercriminals have contributed to this surge in fraudulence.

2. The Imperative of Enhanced Security Measures

How can banks fortify their digital banking platforms against fraud and identity theft?

To dismantle fraudulence and protect customers’ identities, banks must prioritize security at every step. Implementing multi-factor authentication, biometric identification, and robust encryption protocols are some of the measures banks can adopt. Exist Software Labs’ digital banking solutions make use of cutting-edge security features to provide a shield against potential threats.

By continually learning from new data, these systems can adapt to evolving fraud tactics. Exist Software Labs, Inc., integrates AI and machine learning algorithms into its digital banking solutions, providing an extra layer of protection for banks and their customers.

4. Educating Customers and Raising Awareness

How can banks empower their customers to protect themselves from fraud?

Empowering customers through education is vital in the fight against fraudulence and identity theft. Banks should regularly communicate security best practices, raise awareness about common scams, and offer tips on safeguarding personal information. By fostering a sense of vigilance among their customer base, banks can create a collective defense against fraudsters.

5. Collaboration within the Industry

To combat fraud effectively, the entire banking industry must collaborate. Banks can share threat intelligence and best practices with each other, creating a united front against fraudsters. Additionally, forming partnerships with industry-leading digital banking solutions providers like Exist Software Labs, Inc., enables banks to access the latest security advancements and stay one step ahead of potential threats.

As digital banking continues to redefine the financial landscape, the battle against fraudulence and identity theft is only intensifying. C-levels and CTOs must recognize the urgency of this issue and take proactive steps to safeguard their institutions and customers.

By prioritizing security, leveraging cutting-edge technologies, and fostering a culture of awareness, banks can dismantle fraudulence and protect their customers, allowing them to embrace the full potential of mobile banking with confidence.

Energy Billing and Trading

How Cloud-Based Energy Billing and Trading System can help Energy Companies

How Cloud-Based Energy Billing and Trading System can help Energy Companies 650 486 Exist Software Labs

Energy billing and trading is a complex process. It involves many stakeholders, regulations, and processes that need to be carefully managed to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

In the Philippines, the energy sector is regulated by the Department of Energy (DOE), which sets policies and guidelines for energy billing and trading. However, like in many developing countries, the energy sector in the Philippines can be subject to challenges such as limited infrastructure, high costs, a lack of technology and systems to support effective billing and trading, and more.

With DOE’s efforts to switch from fossil fuels to clean energy and power supply shortage, we expect a rise in the number of energy producers in the country. And many of these energy companies are struggling to acquire a high operational efficiency and cost-effective Energy billing and trading system.

Here are some common issues that can affect the operational efficiency of energy companies in their billing and trading operations:

  1. Difficulty in Marketing
    a. Manual tracking of customer allocation from generating facilities
    b. Lost opportunities for possible engagement with new customers
  2. Trading and Billing Data Synchronization
    a. Companies are having difficulty tracking trading and billing transaction data.
  3. Data Management Process
    a. Difficult monitoring and validation due to multiple data sources such as spreadsheets, email, and multiple databases across systems
  4. Real-time data integration is minimal to non-existent
    a. Companies face challenges in achieving real-time data integration to NMMS, CRSS, PREMS, and other IEMOP and PEMC-related open applications, and other data sources.
  5. Dynamic Billing Computations
    a. Energy companies are having problems in the manual process of creating complex billing computations per customer/client

Overall, these are some of the general issues that can affect the operational efficiency of energy companies in billing and trading and can have a negative impact on their financial performance, customer satisfaction, and market competitiveness.

With this in mind, it is best suggested that every energy company have a platform that can effectively manage crucial billing and trading operations. A platform that can increase overall system efficiency, is ready for integration, resilient, fault-tolerant, and won’t set you back an arm and a leg.

Philippine Banks are Slow in Adopting Digital Finance: Mckinsey, Java Developer Philippines

Mckinsey & Co: Philippine Banks are Slow in Adopting Digital Finance

Mckinsey & Co: Philippine Banks are Slow in Adopting Digital Finance 1300 972 Exist Software Labs

Philippine banks are struggling to keep up with the fast-paced digital finance revolution, as traditional banking practices and underinvestment in digital offerings are causing them to miss out on vast untapped customer bases.

A recent report by McKinsey & Co. (a global management consulting firm), highlights that Philippine banks are devoting less than 10 percent of their revenues to information technology, compared to an average of 15 percent in the Asia Pacific region.

Similarly, the digital channels of Philippine banks account for just 5 to 15 percent of their revenues, well below the 25 percent average for their peers in emerging Asian markets.

McKinsey’s Report Emphasizes the Digital Importance to Philippine Banks

McKinsey’s report emphasizes the need for incumbent banks to adapt to the changing landscape quickly or risk losing their market share to digital financial service providers. While the competition in digital financial services is intensifying, McKinsey also noted that dominant players have yet to emerge outside the mobile payments subsector.

However, McKinsey also points out that fintech firms in the Philippines performed especially well during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating more shareholder value than the entire banking sector. As McKinsey’s report suggests, the Philippines presents highly attractive opportunities for expansion in the fintech sector. However, the way foreign firms and existing Filipino conglomerates choose to enter the market will have a significant impact on their growth and competitiveness.

Amid mounting demand for financial services, the banking revenue is expected to triple by 2030, and the country’s banking penetration rate is just 56 percent, significantly lower than emerging markets standards.

Exist Software Labs, Inc. is at the forefront of this transformation and believes that the country’s shift to digital banking is inevitable, and banks that fail to adapt to the changing landscape will lose their market share to digital financial service providers.

Banks need to capitalize on the vast greenfield opportunities presented in the Philippines’ digital finance market and offer their customers secure, efficient, and innovative banking services. By partnering with Exist Software Labs, Inc., banks can enhance their digital offerings and transform their traditional processes to provide efficient, secure, and innovative banking services.

Good Challenge for Bank Revolutionists: Are They Prepared for Gen Z Consumers?

Good Challenge for Banks: Are they Prepared for Gen Z Consumers?

Good Challenge for Banks: Are they Prepared for Gen Z Consumers? 1300 972 Exist Software Labs

As technology continues to advance, Gen Z consumers are becoming increasingly reliant on digital banking solutions. These consumers are born between 1997 and 2012, and they have never known a world without the internet and mobile phones.

Therefore, banks need to adapt to this changing landscape and provide digital banking solutions that cater to the needs of this generation. In this blog, we will explore the challenges and opportunities that banks face when catering to this market segment.

Gen Z doesn’t want to go to a Traditional Bank 

As a digital banking solutions provider, we noticed that many banks are struggling to keep up with the demands of Gen Z consumers. The traditional banking model no longer appeals to this demographic, and they are turning to mobile banking solutions instead.

Banks need to provide a seamless user experience that is personalized and convenient. Mobile Internet banking solution is one such solution that can help banks meet the needs of this new generation of customers.

Data between Banks and Gen Z

Gen Z, the largest generation with approximately 32% of the global population, is also the most digitally native, as revealed by a study by Business Insider Intelligence. The study found that 98% of Gen Z consumers own a smartphone, and 72% use social media multiple times a day. Moreover, a survey by FICO discovered that 72% of Gen Z consumers are keen on using personalized banking services that use their data to offer customized advice and products. These statistics highlight the importance of digital transformation for banks that wish to serve the needs of this emerging demographic.

The key to successful banking for this generation is personalization. Banks need to use machine learning and AI to provide a customized experience that meets the specific needs of each individual customer.

For example, if a customer frequently uses their debit card to make purchases, the bank should be able to offer them targeted discounts and cashback offers on their purchases. This will make the customer feel valued and appreciated, which will, in turn, increase their loyalty to the bank.

Start your Digital Banking journey that is secure, scalable, connected, cloud-ready & flexible.

Open Banking Opportunities for Gen Z

Open banking is another area where banks can tap into the Gen Z market. With open banking, customers can give third-party providers access to their financial data. This enables these providers to offer personalized financial services that meet the specific needs of each customer. For example, if a customer is struggling to save money, a third-party provider could offer them a budgeting app that helps them manage their finances more effectively.

However, banks need to be careful when it comes to open banking. They need to ensure that they are protecting their customers’ data and that they are only working with reputable third-party providers. It is also important to note that not all customers will be comfortable with sharing their financial data with third parties. Banks need to be transparent about how this data will be used and offer customers the option to opt out if they wish.

Mobile Banking for Gen Z

Mobile Internet Banking is the future of banking, and banks need to ensure that their MIB is always up-to-date to maintain their competitive edge. These customers expect to be able to access their accounts and make transactions on their mobile phones. They want a seamless and intuitive experience that allows them to complete transactions quickly and easily.

To provide this experience, banks need to invest in automation and AI. This will enable them to offer a faster and more efficient service to their customers. For example, customers should be able to open a new account or apply for a loan using their mobile phone without having to speak to a customer service representative.

Gen Z Target Market

Gen Z is an important target market for banks, and they need to ensure that they are meeting the needs of this demographic. This generation is more tech-savvy than any previous generation, and they expect their banking experience to reflect this.

They want a personalized and intuitive experience that allows them to manage their finances easily.

To achieve this, banks need to invest in the latest technology, such as AI, automation, and machine learning. They also need to ensure that their digital banking solutions are secure and that they are protecting their customers’ data. By doing so, banks can tap into the vast potential of the Gen Z market and ensure that they remain competitive in the years to come.

In conclusion, banks that are prepared for the challenges of serving Gen Z consumers have a significant advantage in the marketplace. By leveraging the latest technology, including machine learning, AI, and open banking, banks can deliver a seamless and personalized experience that meets the unique needs of each individual customer.

As a digital banking solutions provider, we are committed to helping our clients adapt to the changing needs of their target market and stay ahead of the curve.

Exist Software Labs, Inc., provide a future-proof, scalable, and secure banking experience and tailored to your target market. We have 20+ years of IT experience and are committed to providing innovative and personalized digital banking solutions that prioritize customer experience and satisfaction.

Exist Software Labs. Inc.: Service throughout the Pandemic

In 2020, just like any other business, Exist was taken off guard by the sudden disruption in business activities. Its core – its people and strong partnership with its clients – kept it going. Exist’s culture of continuous collaboration with its people and a solid commitment to its client partners showed the company’s resiliency during economic uncertainties, especially during the pandemic. The “Agile Culture” of Exist Software Labs Inc. led them to achieve their annual revenue goal and more.

“The success of Exist in the past years is because of your hard work and dedication,” Michael Lim, President, and CEO, told employees during a town hall meeting at Exist.

Three years later, Exist has increased its revenue year after year and expanded both its clientele and manpower. In this year’s Philippines Growth Champions 2023 of Inquirer and international research company, Statista, where the Top 25 companies with the highest revenue growth are recognized, Exist ranked 20th overall and, for its category, IT and Software, Top 5.

With over two decades of experience, Exist continues to help various companies reach milestones, even in large-scale projects, using modern application design and development, as well as providing world-class support. Clients can prove that the innovations they achieved collaborating with Exist have transformed them for the better and allowed them to build a sustainable advantage in their industries.

“The team at Exist has brought us several technology innovations over the last few years and we look forward to continuing to push the digital envelope with them,” said John Howard Medina, COO of PBCOM.

Exist Software Labs Inc. may have ascended to its current status as a reliable partner, but it plans to help even more businesses. It is ready to serve companies that need a complete revamp of their client IT infrastructure, API services orchestration, and software design; as well as those enterprise users who would like a software application that adheres to their current flow.

A leader in designing for systems integrations, Exist allows software applications from different departments to communicate with each other for better, more informed, and timelier decisions.

Exist’s solutions perfectly fit institutions with unique processes or those that want a competitive advantage; especially those who now find that, rightfully, building software is more flexible, designed to be more scalable through integrations, more secure, and more resilient than buying off the shelf (OTS).
