A PDF invoice is not an electronic invoice. Many companies don\u2019t realize this. When you send an invoice as a PDF by email, someone on the other side either retypes it into the system manually or at least checks it. Time, errors, unnecessary work. <\/span><\/p>\n

A true electronic invoice is a structured data file \u2014 XML \u2014 that the customer\u2019s system can load, process, and post automatically. Retyping? Errors? Waiting? None of that. <\/span><\/p>\n

Maro\u0161 Kumi, Head of Sales at 26HOUSE<\/a>, puts it simply: a qualified accountant won\u2019t waste time retyping invoices, but can focus on real professional work \u2014 accounting, taxes, analysis. So e-invoicing isn\u2019t just a technical change of format. It\u2019s a change in how a company operates. <\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The biggest problem with e-invoicing? It\u2019s not XML <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Implementing e-invoicing isn\u2019t trivial \u2014 neither for system vendors nor for companies themselves. Kumi names three technical challenges that ERP and accounting systems must handle at once: the correct XML format according to legislation, integration with a PEPPOL Access Point including sending and receiving invoices, and finally \u2014 user-friendliness. Because if the system forces an accountant to fill in ten new fields just to send an invoice, no one will want to use it. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the company side, it\u2019s a different kind of challenge. Fear of the unknown, lack of knowledge of the laws, and reluctance to think about how invoicing actually works today and whether it can be improved. The only way to overcome it, says Kumi, is to inform, demonstrate, and train. And to have a system that makes the whole thing invisible to the user. <\/span><\/p>\n

From obligation to competitive advantage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Kumi recommends to companies: \u201cEmbrace the change and roll out e-invoicing faster than the competition.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The logic is simple. A company that implements e-invoicing early can set up processes without pressure, fine-tune integrations, and train people. A company that waits will have to do it in a rush \u2014 and is more likely to make mistakes that will cost more than preparing calmly in advance. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, automated invoice processing brings something with real value for managing a business: real-time visibility into financial flows. You know what\u2019s awaiting payment. You know where the bottlenecks are. You don\u2019t have to wait for the monthly close to find out what your cash flow looks like.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEmbrace the change and roll out e-invoicing faster than the competition.\u201d <\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Trends that are changing the rules of the game<\/strong><\/h2>\n

E-invoicing isn\u2019t an isolated phenomenon. Kumi says the key trends changing how companies work today are AI and the overall digitization of processes. In this context, electronic invoicing is the gateway \u2014 the first step toward having data flow through the company automatically, without manual intervention. <\/span><\/p>\n

When invoices are structured and processed automatically, opportunities open up for further automation: order matching, predicting customers\u2019 payment behavior, automated reminders. Digitization doesn\u2019t stop in one place \u2014 on the contrary, one solution opens the door to others. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to do it: principles that work<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Today, 26HOUSE is one of the largest implementation partners of the Odoo ERP system in Slovakia. Interestingly, the company itself started as a customer \u2014 using Odoo to manage its own processes before becoming an implementer. That user-side experience still shapes their approach today. <\/span><\/p>\n

In implementations, they follow a few principles: understand the customer\u2019s processes before proposing a solution. Separate what is a real need from what is just a wish. Use as much of the standard system as possible, and customize only where it\u2019s truly necessary. And perhaps most importantly, there\u2019s no point in implementing old paper-based processes in a new digital system. Digitization is an opportunity for change, not just wrapping the old in a new package. <\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

E-invoicing: not a question of if, but when<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The mandate is coming. The question is whether a company will handle it in a rush and under pressure, or prepare ahead of time and get the most out of it. Companies that take it seriously already today don\u2019t add e-invoicing as another administrative layer \u2014 but as part of a bigger whole: a digitally managed company where data works instead of people. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in the topic and want to take a closer look at the specific steps, processes, and legislation \u2014 that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ll cover in the webinar on March 24, 2026. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
