Insid­ers makes receiv­ing, pro­cess­ing and send­ing elec­tron­ic invoic­es easy with 360 degree invoice man­age­ment and enables addi­tion­al process opti­miza­tion. The event shows prac­ti­cal exam­ples and pro­vides an insight into the devel­op­ment.

Insid­ers pre­sent­ed the Insid­ers vision of Next Lev­el Invoic­ing to its cus­tomers at its e‑invoice user forum.

In light of the upcom­ing oblig­a­tion to receive e‑invoices from Jan­u­ary 1, 2025, many com­pa­nies are still uncer­tain about the actu­al imple­men­ta­tion, the con­nec­tion to spe­cif­ic por­tals or the inte­gra­tion into the cor­re­spond­ing process­es.

To alle­vi­ate this uncer­tain­ty and make it eas­i­er for com­pa­nies to tran­si­tion to the use of elec­tron­ic invoic­es, Insid­ers has fur­ther devel­oped its tried-and-test­ed Invoice Man­age­ment. This com­bines the clas­sic pro­cess­ing of paper and PDF doc­u­ments with the new for­mats in nation­al and inter­na­tion­al e‑invoicing into an inte­grat­ed solu­tion and already enables the effi­cient receipt and dis­patch of e‑invoices in accor­dance with the lat­est EU stan­dards as well as auto­mat­ed invoice pro­cess­ing.

After the open­ing of the user forum in Berlin by Man­ag­ing Direc­tor Wern­er Weiss, Insid­ers first explained to its cus­tomers the Insid­ers P2P land­scape and how this enables the receipt of elec­tron­ic invoic­es, but also the for­ward-look­ing send­ing of elec­tron­ic invoic­es and also sim­pli­fies process­es. It is based on OmnIA, the new plat­form for intel­li­gent automa­tion, which enables the con­fig­u­ra­tion, orches­tra­tion and analy­sis of ser­vices and process­es. The solu­tion com­pris­es the com­po­nents e‑connect, e‑convert and e‑invoice pro.

e‑connect ensures a seam­less con­nec­tion to var­i­ous nation­al and inter­na­tion­al por­tals or email inbox­es, e‑convert enables the con­ver­sion of all invoice data into the required for­mat and e‑invoice pro is used to process all elec­tron­ic and oth­er invoic­es in a sin­gle AI-sup­port­ed work­flow. The Insid­ers P2P land­scape is sup­ple­ment­ed by var­i­ous AI mod­ules such as auto-assign­ment and anom­aly detec­tion based on Insid­ers’ own AI solu­tion OvAItion, as well as famil­iar prod­uct mod­ules for pro­cess­ing orders, deliv­ery bills and order con­fir­ma­tions.

Pep­pol expert and con­sul­tant for the Ger­man Pep­pol Author­i­ty Michael Walther then explained in his pre­sen­ta­tion how the Pep­pol net­work works and how cus­tomers ben­e­fit from the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion of Insid­ers Tech­nolo­gies as an offi­cial access point.

In two user pre­sen­ta­tions, Insid­ers cus­tomers from the med­ical sec­tor also pre­sent­ed how they have inte­grat­ed the Insid­ers Invoice port­fo­lio into their appli­ca­tions and use it for elec­tron­ic invoice receipt and issue. Among oth­ers, the amedes Group impressed with an insight into fig­ures and data as well as the opti­miza­tion of their process­es through the Insid­ers Cloud.

This was fol­lowed by an out­look from Dr. Max­i­m­il­ian Schwenger, Head of e‑invoicing devel­op­ment at Insid­ers, on the fur­ther devel­op­ment of e‑invoice in 2025, in which he addressed the upcom­ing change on many lev­els — in terms of the huge poten­tial of AI tech­nolo­gies, legal require­ments and the han­dling and pro­cess­ing of data, as well as planned prod­uct and fur­ther devel­op­ments. The focus here was pri­mar­i­ly on the AI mod­ules that can be used in the future and their ben­e­fits for process opti­miza­tion in account­ing.

Final­ly, Head of Chan­nel Man­age­ment Dr Alexan­der Swien­ty round­ed off the first day with his pre­sen­ta­tion “Standardized e‑invoicing — tai­lor-made for your suc­cess”, in which he intro­duced the Insid­ers com­mu­ni­ty and the net­work and explained how the inten­sive exchange with each oth­er pro­motes the con­tin­u­ous evo­lu­tion of Insid­ers prod­ucts along a reli­able roadmap.

The par­tic­i­pants used the sec­ond day of the user forum exten­sive­ly for per­son­al dis­cus­sions and top­ic-spe­cif­ic work­shops. For exam­ple, cus­tomers worked with Insid­ers experts to fur­ther devel­op prod­ucts such as auto-assem­bly, anom­aly detec­tion and a new human-in-the-loop inter­face. In 2025, Insid­ers Tech­nolo­gies intends to con­tin­ue to engage with select­ed cus­tomers in the e‑invoice sec­tor and incor­po­rate their input into the fur­ther devel­op­ment of its prod­ucts.
