Paris, November 21, 2022
Esker, a global cloud platform and leader in
AI-driven process automation solutions for finance and customer
service functions, and Quadient, a leader in helping businesses
create meaningful customer connections through digital and physical
channels, today announced that their years-long collaboration will
take on a new dimension by partnering with the French government’s
upcoming Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP).
Quadient and Esker have been working together
for more than seven years through their joint subsidiary NCS, a
strategic partnership that allows Quadient to leverage Esker's
technology expertise for automating and digitizing customer and
supplier invoices. The new direction NCS is taking strengthens this
collaboration and ensures that businesses of all sizes experience a
smooth and secure transition to compliance with upcoming French tax
regulations, according to the defined timetable, whether invoices
are received or transmitted by mail, email in PDF format, portal,
EDI or another channel.
The finance law requires that invoices exchanged
between VAT taxpayers must be transmitted in a structured data
format (UBL, UNCEFACT CII) or hybrid format (Factur-X):
- As of
July 1, 2024 for all VAT taxable entities
receiving invoices
- As of
July 1, 2024 for large companies
issuing invoices
- As of
January 1, 2025 this applies to medium-sized businesses
issuing invoices
- As of
January 1, 2026 this applies for all micro, small and medium-sized
businesses issuing invoices
The Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP),
which will be approved by the French government, will send and
receive electronic invoices between entities while simultaneously
transmitting the required invoicing data to the Public Billing
Portal (PPF), and electronically reports all necessary transaction
data.
“The widespread implementation of electronic
invoicing over the next three years is a major challenge for the
four million companies in France. As a major player in the
electronic document management market for small and medium-sized
businesses, we look forward to our continued partnership with
Esker, in which we join forces and expertise to offer businesses
straightforward and efficient invoicing process automation,”
said Nicolas de Beco, Chief
Strategy and Product
Officer for Intelligent Document
Automation at Quadient. “The government’s timetable calls
for a long and gradual transition, and we know that for many
companies, compliance can be a source of anxiety because it brings
about profound changes. By offering flexible and adapted solutions,
we want to help them anticipate the implementation of new
management methods that are connected and automated, so that they
are able to meet regulatory deadlines with confidence.”
As members of the National e-Invoice Forum and
active participants in workshops organized by the General
Administration of Public Finances (DGFiP) and the Agency for
Financial Information Technology of the State (AIFE), Esker and
Quadient are currently in the process of preparing for the
registration process beginning in September 2023, with governmental
accreditation expected in accordance with the officially defined
timeframes.
In addition to being in compliance with
regulatory guidelines, businesses will also be able to take
advantage of complementary services, such as centralized management
of all workflows, business process automation, complete visibility
over and tracking of communications, invoice archiving, processing
of associated documents, payment reconciliation and reporting
capabilities. These services are facilitated by easy
interconnectability with other business solutions and
interoperability with other platforms, which enables them to
simplify and optimize management processes, accelerate their
digital transformation, and improve their cash management.
“Esker is proud to support Quadient in this
project. As long-standing partners, our two companies have
demonstrated their ability to work together to deliver innovative
solutions that benefit thousands of businesses in France today,”
said Emmanuel Olivier, COO at
Esker. “We are committed to helping our customers
today and in the future in turning these regulatory developments
into opportunity for growth and acceleration of the digital
transformation.”
