standards-compliant · interoperable · future-proof
Connecting users is a core mission of eurofactura. Growing out of the ZUGFeRD Community with over 10,000 electronic invoice users, the association pools expertise, promotes professional exchange, and creates a shared voice for the advancement of digital invoicing processes across industries and national borders.
eurofactura actively participates in the further development of standards. The goal is an interoperable, practical, and inclusive design of electronic invoices and VAT reporting systems that meets the needs of all user groups and establishes a reliable foundation for digital processes.
eurofactura brings the user perspective directly into political and regulatory decision-making processes through recognized experts, ensuring that requirements do not lose sight of practical realities. At the same time, the association provides well-founded information and educational work on the introduction of e-invoicing and digital VAT reporting systems.
By providing tools, interfaces, and access to networks, eurofactura supports businesses and users in the legally compliant creation, sending, and receipt of e-invoices. This enables a low-threshold entry into electronic invoicing processes and facilitates practical implementation.
True interoperability makes e-invoicing a success model for businesses of all sizes and industries. It accelerates processes, reduces manual effort, and lowers costs – provided implementation is practical, fair, and accessible to all users. Interoperability is the foundation for information being processed correctly regardless of the system used, content remaining clear and understandable, and workflows fitting together seamlessly – both nationally and across borders. This principle must equally underpin the establishment of digital reporting systems. Only in this way can electronic invoicing processes become a reliable standard that ensures participation, efficiency, and lasting benefit for all businesses.
