Frequently asked questions
What is e-invoicing and why does it matter?

E-invoicing is the digital exchange of invoice data in a structured format such as UBL or XML. Unlike a PDF or paper invoice, the data is sent in a machine-readable form, so it can be processed directly and accurately in accounting software.

The impact is very concrete. Organisations that switch to e-invoicing reduce their error rate, shorten payment terms and save hours of manual data entry. Provincie Noord-Brabant reduced its average payment term from 22 to 8 days after switching to e-invoicing via eConnect. Peinemann processes more than 50.000 incoming invoices per year with one employee thanks to full automation.

In Europe, the obligation to invoice electronically is growing. The European Commission is rolling out the ViDA directive (VAT in the Digital Age) to make e-invoicing mandatory across all EU member states, with country mandates already live in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and Romania. In the Netherlands, e-invoicing to the government is already mandatory under the NLCIUS standard, and B2B obligations are expected to follow.

By starting with e-invoicing now, you prepare your organisation for this legislation while immediately benefiting from faster processing, fewer errors and better visibility of your invoice flows.

Why do organisations choose eConnect?

eConnect offers an all-in-one platform for sending, receiving, processing and posting e-invoices. While many providers only cover part of the chain, eConnect combines all steps in one solution: from the free Invoice Portal for small organisations to the enterprise-grade PSB API for software vendors and large organisations.

What customers value most is the combination of technology and personal approach. The Kamer van Koophandel calls eConnect "professional and approachable". Universiteit Utrecht appreciated that eConnect acted quickly and provided clarity on impact and costs. Veiligheidsregio Limburg-Noord emphasises the personal contact: "You feel like they know us."

In addition, eConnect has a unique market position. As co-founder of the Dutch Peppol Authority and with approximately 30% of all Dutch Peppol registrations, eConnect is the largest Peppol player in the Netherlands. Around 40% of all Dutch Peppol transactions run through the eConnect network. That scale translates into reliability, expertise and continuous innovation.

Organisations also choose eConnect for its broad coverage: not just e-invoices via Peppol, but also PDF conversion via Scan & Recognise, multichannel delivery to Peppol and other procurement networks and proven supplier onboarding via WeConnect. One platform for the entire invoice flow, regardless of format or channel.

Is e-invoicing mandatory in the Netherlands?

For invoicing to the Dutch government, e-invoicing is already mandatory. Government organisations must be able to receive and process e-invoices according to the NLCIUS standard, the Dutch implementation of the European Peppol BIS Billing norm. More and more government organisations now exclusively accept e-invoices.

For B2B invoicing, there is currently no legal obligation in the Netherlands. However, this is set to change. The European Commission is working on the ViDA directive (VAT in the Digital Age), which will make e-invoicing mandatory for all B2B transactions in the EU. Several European countries have already set concrete dates: Germany has phased the obligation in since January 2025, Belgium followed on 1 January 2026, and France, Italy, Poland and Romania have their own timelines.

The EY ViDA report (January 2026) shows that 37% of freelancers in the Netherlands still do their bookkeeping in Excel and 65 to 67% of SMEs do not use structured invoicing software. The expected ViDA obligation makes the urgency for this group concrete.

Organisations that already use e-invoicing will not need to rush their migration when the obligation comes into effect. Moreover, they already benefit from faster payment, fewer errors and lower processing costs. eConnect ensures your invoices always comply with the applicable standard, regardless of how regulations change.

What is Peppol and why is it the standard?

Peppol is an open, international network for the secure exchange of business documents such as e-invoices and purchase orders. It works similarly to an email network: each organisation has a unique Peppol address and can exchange documents via certified Access Points with any other participant, regardless of software or country.

The strength of Peppol lies in standardisation and security. Every sender is verified via End User Identification, preventing ghost invoices and fraud. Data is sent in a structured format, ensuring it arrives accurately in the recipient's accounting software. No manual entry, no typos.

In the Netherlands, Peppol is the standard for e-invoicing to the government, and usage is growing rapidly in the commercial market. The European Commission promotes Peppol as the open network for e-invoicing and e-procurement across Europe. More and more countries are making Peppol mandatory or favouring it in their regulations.

eConnect is co-founder of the Dutch Peppol Authority and board member at OpenPeppol. With approximately 30% of all Dutch Peppol registrations and 40% of transactions, eConnect is the largest Peppol Access Point in the Netherlands. Organisations that connect to Peppol via eConnect benefit from that scale, experience and direct involvement in standard development.

How quickly can I start e-invoicing via eConnect?

That depends on your situation, but it can be surprisingly fast. For sending e-invoices via the free Invoice Portal, you only need an account. You can send your first invoice via Peppol within minutes.

For organisations that want to integrate e-invoicing into their existing software, the lead time is shorter than often expected. eConnect has standard integrations for many common accounting and ERP packages. The one-time connection is guided by a dedicated delivery team. After contract signing, a Remote Starter session of approximately two hours is scheduled, during which the Peppol registration and initial configuration are completed.

For larger organisations with more complex requirements, implementation proceeds in phases. Universiteit Utrecht opted for a phased approach: first quick Peppol compliance, then outgoing invoices, and finally a sustainable integration. Gemeente Nijmegen received the first e-invoice within two days of the connection.

The eConnect delivery team guides the entire process, from initial configuration to full deployment. The approach is designed to achieve quick results and then expand step by step.
