In the spotlight - eInvoicing
What’s eInvoicing?
eInvoicing is the electronic exchange of an invoice document between a supplier and a buyer. An eInvoice is an invoice that has been issued, transmitted and received in a structured data format which allows for its automatic and electronic processing, as defined in Directive 2014/55/EU.
Cost reduction
eDelivery ensures data integrity and confidentiality in every transmission through the use of digital signatures and encryption.
Faster payment
By removing the need of manually reading and entering information, eInvoicing lessens administrative burdens and time-to-payment for individual invoices.
Boosting B2G eProcurement
eInvoicing helps companies manage their contracts in any EU country, making public procurement businesses more appealing for everyone..
Facilitating cross-border trade
The timely and automatic processing of companies’ invoices in the EU facilitates cross-border trade operations between countries.
