Manufacturing companies work with international suppliers, long value chains and often multiple entities or locations. This requires an invoicing chain that supports multiple formats, is internationally compliant and connects to the ERP system. eConnect provides a platform that combines sending, receiving and processing in a single environment.

Manufacturing is characterised by a mix of structural suppliers, project-based procurement and international trade. Incoming invoices arrive through various channels: Peppol for European suppliers, EDI from large tier-one suppliers, and PDF or paper for smaller parties. International e-invoicing mandates (such as XRechnung in Germany and SDI in Italy) differ per country and change regularly.
On the outbound side, customers are often large OEMs or retail organisations with their own format requirements, EDI connections and strict processing rules.
The platform provides e-invoicing via Peppol and additional channels, so that both incoming and outgoing invoices run through a single integration. For international invoicing, the platform enforces the correct validation rules and formats per country, including XRechnung, NLCIUS and EN 16931.
For incoming invoices, the IDR (Intelligent Document Recogniser) automates the recognition of PDF invoices, including reverse-charge VAT and intra-Community transactions. With software integrations, eConnect connects to common ERP and accounting packages.
