E-invoicing is a game changer for businesses when it comes to managing their invoicing and financial operations. Businesses can save time, reduce errors, and increase overall efficiency by eliminating paper-based invoicing and automating the process. Companies use e-invoicing solutions to easily manage their invoices and gain real-time visibility into their financial operations.

Most businesses connect e-invoicing solutions to their current software or even fully integrate e-invoicing solutions in order to be as efficient as possible. To do this, they must have developers implement these solutions for them. With e-Invoices Online's B2B e-invoicing API solutions, developers can implement or develop e-invoicing much more quickly and easily by skipping the development cycle and not having to start from scratch on an e-invoicing component.

Accelerating development with API solutions

e-Invoices Online offers three solutions powered by APIs to automate, streamline, and enhance the e-invoicing process: Integration with ERP, Transformation and Build custom e-invoicing.

Integration with ERP

Integration with ERP encompasses e-invoice creation, management, sending, and archiving of the e-invoice. It allows businesses to input their invoice data directly into the e-Invoices Online web app or input it into their software and send it to our cloud using a simple REST API. Once the e-invoice is generated, it can be managed and prepared for sending, then sent to the tax authority portal and also downloaded back to the software for archiving. All e-invoices sent using our integrated platform are securely stored in our cloud archive for a minimum of ten years, allowing you to access them whenever you need to.

Transformation

Transformation focuses on e-invoice creation, providing businesses with a simple way to convert their data into a detailed e-invoice by taking data from their software, creating a .JSON file, and sending it to e-Invoices Online through an e-invoicing API. After being transformed, the e-invoice is stored and accessible for 48 hours before being deleted.

Build custom e-invoicing

e-Invoices Online's Build custom e-invoicing solution enables businesses to create a custom e-invoicing software using application programming interfaces (APIs). Companies can create custom e-invoicing solutions using these e-invoicing APIs to integrate e-invoicing functionality into their current systems, such as their invoicing software, DMS or EDI software. Alternatively, they can use the Build custom e-invoicing solution to create a brand-new accounting program or other software from the ground up to be used as part of their own service or product.

The Build custom e-invoicing service provides a set of e-invoicing APIs that businesses can use to access various e-invoicing functionalities, such as creating, managing, and sending e-invoices. They also provide access to features such as:

• transformation of data to e-Invoices (and invoice to e-invoice),

• distribution to tax authority portals and Peppol network,

• importing from servers to ERP,

• archiving.

This makes the entire development of a custom e-invoicing solution much shorter and easier for the developer. The variety of e-invoicing solutions provided by e-Invoices Online can be customized to meet the requirements of any type of company.

Adapting e-invoicing to your business

In addition to providing solutions for developers, e-Invoices Online also provides a web e-invoicing solution and e-invoicing API solutions that can be used by any company. The Tailormade service provides a custom e-invoicing solution developed by the e-Invoices Online programmers to meet the customers' specific needs. This service is beneficial for businesses that require more than standard e-invoicing solution and want to optimize their processes by having their e-invoicing software tailored to their specific requirements. 

Another barrier to e-invoicing that some businesses face is that their current ERP system (also CRM or other software) does not support the generation of electronic invoices. These businesses cannot connect their existing software to e-invoicing solutions the typical way, using APIs, because their invoicing software is missing some important features or has outdated code, or because the ERP software developers are unable to assist. e-Invoices Online offers a one-of-a-kind solution to this issue. The so-called Virtual Printer is a solution that enables these businesses to easily do e-invoicing without modifying the code of their existing software.

Summary of B2B e-invoicing using APIs

To summarize, e-Invoices Online provides a number of solutions to assist businesses in easily implementing e-invoicing. The Integration, Transformation, and Build custom e-invoicing services, all use APIs to provide businesses with a simple and efficient way to create, manage, and send e-invoices. The Transformation service focuses on the initial creation of the e-invoice, the Integration service includes the e-invoice creation as well as the management, sending, and archiving of the e-invoice, and the Build custom e-invoicing allows businesses to build their own custom e-invoicing solution using e-invoicing APIs to create new software from scratch or to upgrade their existing systems with e-invoicing. e-Invoices Online also provides a Virtual Printer solution for businesses whose existing ERP system cannot integrate e-invoicing. This solution allows them to easily do e-invoicing without modifying the code of their existing software. The Tailormade service provides a customized e-invoicing solution developed by e-Invoices Onlineprogrammers to meet the customer’s specific needs.

Overall, e-Invoices Online provides a comprehensive set of solutions that significantly simplify and accelerate the process of incorporating e-invoicing functionality into any software, and can assist businesses in optimizing their processes and meeting their specific e-invoicing needs.
