Predictability at scale

Achieve mandate compliance across countries with a repeatable approach that helps reduce complexity, manage timelines, and avoid surprises as requirements expand.

One global application for local compliance

Connect once using a consistent integration approach, then expand e-invoicing coverage across countries without rebuilding compliance processes.

AI-powered agility throughout change

Mandates evolve over time. Support ongoing updates and manage change as new requirements emerge and technologies evolve across countries and reporting networks.

MANDATE LANDSCAPE

E-invoice mandates are changing how compliance works

Requirements vary across countries and timelines. Connecting invoice systems through a consistent approach helps you scale compliance as mandates multiply.

E-invoicing and e-reporting are becoming mandatory

Across Europe and around the globe, governments are introducing structured e-invoicing and reporting requirements. Organisations are moving from planning to readiness.

Compliance complexity increases across countries

Mandate requirements and timelines differ by country. Managing each rollout locally without considering the global picture can increase complexity, rework, and cost as organisations expand.

Compliance requires integration and governance

Align Tax, Finance, and IT by connecting ERP, accounting, ecommerce, and invoice systems through a single global API — enabling scalable reporting and streamlined e-invoicing as mandates expand.

Compliance essentials

Step 1: Prioritise your mandate scope

Identify impacted countries, invoice flows, and systems generating invoice data so planning can start.

Step 2: Align ownership across teams

Define who monitors mandates, owns data readiness, and how Tax, Finance, and IT coordinate decisions.

Step 3: Choose a rollout model that scales

Use a consistent integration approach to reduce rework as e-invoicing mandates expand globally.

Frequently asked questions

Faint blue and white geometric triangle pattern on a white background.

Many governments across Europe and around the world now require businesses to issue invoices electronically in a structured format and report transaction data to tax authorities. These mandates — covering e-invoicing, e-reporting, or continuous transaction controls (CTC) — are expanding across countries.

Each country’s unique regulations introduce  different requirements, timelines, and reporting models. Handling local mandates with different vendors and solutions can lead to redundant integrations, inconsistent processes, and higher long-term costs as more countries mandate compliance.

Start by identifying impacted countries, invoice flows, and source systems. Then align Tax, Finance, and IT on ownership and governance. Many organisations adopt a globalised approach that can scale as new mandates emerge.
