“Digitalization could reduce construction costs by up to 20%.” This figure shows that the future of construction is digital, and e-invoicing with Peppol is a key part of that shift.

Especially in construction, where complex supply chains and multiple stakeholders dominate the daily workflow, manual invoice processing often leads to chaos. The solution? E-invoicing with Peppol! It offers standardized, fast, and error-free processes that not only improve cash flow but also reduce administrative costs.

Governments across Europe have recognized this too. That’s why electronic invoicing is gradually becoming mandatory, or already is, for invoices sent to public sector bodies. For example, in Belgium, B2G e-invoicing has been mandatory since March 1, 2024, and by January 1, 2026, this requirement will extend to all B2B invoices. Other European countries are also advancing in the adoption of e-invoicing.

What is E-Invoicing?

Think of e-invoicing as the digital version of a traditional paper invoice. It enables the exchange of invoice data, such as amounts, tax rates, payment terms, etc., without manual processing or paper documents. E-invoices are transmitted in a standardized format (XML document in UBL format or UN/CEFACT CII format).
