How much can e-invoicing software save?

Research by Billentis puts the saving at up to 80% versus paper-based processing. The gains come from faster processing, fewer errors, better cash flow and lower compliance and auditing costs.

Is e-invoicing mandatory?

It is becoming so. EU public sector bodies already require e-invoicing and B2B mandates are rolling out across member states. The UK is preparing its own mandate, expected from 2029, on the Peppol network.

What should I look for in e-invoicing software?

Look for automation of the invoices you send and receive, integration with your ERP, automatic validation, compliance coverage for Peppol and upcoming mandates, transparent pricing with no per-message charges, and strong onboarding support.

What is e-invoicing software?

E-invoicing software sends, receives and processes invoices as structured digital data instead of paper or PDF files. It automates data entry, validation and matching across accounts receivable and accounts payable, connects to your ERP, and helps you meet national e-invoicing and VAT rules.

Faster and more efficient

According to research by the Swiss market analyst Billentis, switching to e-invoicing can reduce costs by up to 80%. The saving comes from faster processing, fewer errors, healthier cash flow and easier compliance. Good e-invoicing software speeds up invoice handling from the point of entry across your internal systems, and digitises storage for auditing and reporting. It can also support invoice matching and automated approval, so payments are authorised sooner.

Transalis eInvoice bundles

Unlike many providers, Transalis offers flexibility on service and full transparency on cost through a range of Transalis eInvoice bundles, including eInvoice Essential and eInvoice Connect. The right bundle depends on how many trading connections you have and what you want to achieve. eInvoice Connect suits companies with large or international trading networks, with the option to add up to 75 connections, automated validation of invoice data, and a deep-store archive that reduces auditing time and cost.

Compliance and e-invoicing software

Adopting e-invoicing software is fast becoming a requirement, not just good practice. Across the EU, government and public sector bodies already require B2G e-invoicing, and B2B mandates are rolling out country by country. In the UK, the government is preparing its own mandate, expected from 2029, built on the Peppol network. Transalis is recognised as one of only a handful of providers worldwide to meet the EU common e-invoicing standard, in a project known as EURINV19.

Onboarding your trading partners

Our trading partner outreach programme drives a higher adoption rate across your network than many providers, because our customer success team works to connect as many of your trading partners as possible. We give your whole network online access to upload and download digital invoices, even if they have no e-invoicing software of their own. To smooth onboarding we provide training, support guides, easy registration, testing and dedicated account management. And unlike providers who charge Value Added Network (VAN) fees per message with penalties for breaching limits, our pricing is transparent with no limits on message volumes.
