Integration Benefits: The Power of Synergy in Global AP E-Invoicing Management and Automation
As businesses increasingly operate across borders, managing accounts payable (AP) has become significantly more complex, especially with ever-changing e-invoicing mandates and jurisdiction-specific compliance requirements. That’s where eezi, our e-invoicing SaaS solution, comes in. It serves as a seamless connector between global electronic invoice senders and Concur Invoice, enhancing workflows.
Built for Global E-Invoice Compliance
eezi's e-invoicing platform is designed to receive structured electronic purchase invoices from suppliers worldwide, where e-invoicing mandates require it. It supports standardized networks like Peppol, as well as government-authorized platforms such as the SdI (Italy), ANAF (Romania), CFDI (Mexico) and many others.
Once received, invoices are transformed into a standardised format and automatically delivered into your Concur Invoice system: completely touchless and fully compliant.
The Outcome: Effortless, Real-Time Invoice Processing
Invoices show up in Concur Invoice as if manually entered. No OCR, uploads, or manual intervention are needed. No additional middleware or custom ERP development is required. Just fast, compliant and accurate AP automation and invoice management through our seamless integration.
