Enhance Your Platform’s One-Stop Shop Position With E-invoicing
At first, mandatory e-invoicing sounds like a burden: more compliance, more complexity, more costs. But if that’s the case, why are thousands of companies integrating it before they’re even required to?
Your clients aren’t searching for invoicing tools—they’re looking to reduce admin, get paid faster, and simplify operations.
When you offer built-in invoicing that’s compliant, fast, branded, and seamless, you’re not just meeting expectations—you’re exceeding them.
That’s exactly why we created a guide on how to strengthen your platform’s one-stop-shop position:
Is E-invoicing Solving A Problem Or Creating One?
Every business needs to invoice—and soon, most countries will require it to be electronic. At first glance, it might sound like more regulation, more cost, and more complexity. But why are so many companies then switching to e-invoicing, before it becomes mandatory?
Traditional invoicing is manual and inefficient. It consumes employee time, adds printing or PDF handling costs, and invoices often get paid at the last minute—or even late. Plus, someone has to constantly track changing regulations, and mistakes can lead to fines and extra admin work.
E-invoicing changes the game.
It's not a PDF—it's structured data (code) that gets:
This means no manual effort, no errors, faster payments, and lower operational costs. In some cases, e-invoices are even paid on the same day.
Why Would Clients Care About Your Invoicing Solution?
As mentioned, regulations are pushing many businesses to adopt e-invoicing. For others, it simply comes down to convenience and cost efficiency.
Most of your users aren’t actively searching for an invoicing tool—they’re looking for the core solution your platform provides. For example, let’s say you operate in the automotive space, offering a platform where users manage car inventory, scheduling, payments, customer support, and more.
Your competitors likely offer similar core features. But then the client sees that you also offer built-in invoicing—something most of your competitors don’t.
It’s simple, seamless, already integrated, and saves them time and money without switching platforms.
Why wouldn’t they choose that?
The Effect On Your Platform
Adding e-invoicing strengthens your platform’s one-stop-shop position. By offering a more complete and valuable solution, you lower your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and increase user retention and Lifetime Value (CLV).
You also save on invoicing-related costs internally, which means higher margins and more capital to reinvest—giving you a competitive edge. Plus, you can unlock a new revenue stream.
Since invoicing isn’t your core feature, you can monetize it:
Advantages Of Early Adoption
E-invoicing is going global.
The EU has already committed to mandatory e-invoicing under the ViDA regulation, set to take effect in 2030 across all member states. Many other countries, outside of EU, are moving even faster.
Businesses will need to adapt, and many already want to. So platforms, that offer invoicing early, will have a major advantage.
By integrating it now, you gain time to test, optimize, and position yourself as the go-to solution. Early adopters build trust, spread word of mouth, and stay ahead of the curve.
