Optimizing B2B e-invoicing with innovative API solutions

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 to be as efficient as possible. To do this, they must have developers implement these solutions for them. With the DDD Invoices API solution, 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

DDD Invoices’ API-powered solutions automate, streamline, and enhance the e-invoicing process.

The solution encompasses e-invoice creation, management, sending, and archiving of e-invoices. Users simply integrate a few APIs, then they can send invoice data or invoices to our cloud. 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 into the software for archiving. E-invoices sent using our integrated platform can be securely stored in our cloud archive for a legally determined period (typically up to 10 years), allowing you to access them whenever you need to. This allows companies to gain access to e-invoicing much faster and at a lower cost, than if they had developed it on their own. Additionally, our solution makes it easier than ever to do e-invoicing in accordance with local laws, anywhere across the globe. Our powerful service enables us to develop compliance for any country in just a few weeks, rather than the several months it typically takes to develop and test the new component.

Developers can also use our solution to create a brand-new invoicing program or other software from the ground up to be used as part of their own service or product. Our service provides them with 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 DDD Invoices can be customized to meet the requirements of any type of company.

Business’s barriers to e-invoicing

A barrier to e-invoicing that some businesses face is that their current ERP system (could also be CRM or other software) does not support the generation and distribution 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, has outdated code, or because the ERP software developers are unable to assist. DDD Invoices offers solutions that allow any company to gain access to e-invoicing, regardless of any barriers they currently face.
