Insiders gets customers in the mood for e‑invoicing of the future

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.
