Avoiding Buyer’s Remorse in E-Invoicing Compliance
The 5 Things Your E-Invoicing Vendor Hopes You Don’t Ask
With the mandatory B2B E-Invoicing mandate going live for France and Germany in September 2026 and January 2027, businesses trading in these markets must find an approved E-Invoicing provider and be ready for the pending deadlines.
With hundreds of new entrants and unproven vendors flooding the market, the likelihood of choosing an E-Invoicing provider you come to regret has never been higher. Choosing poorly isn’t just an inconvenience, it exposes Shared Services organizations the risk of fines and even potential business disruption.
Though E-Invoicing may be mandatory, Buyer’s Remorse is optional.
This session is designed to help Shared Service, Finance, and Tax leaders move beyond the sales pitch and ask the deeper questions that clarify capabilities and avoid the hidden pitfalls that typically only reveal themselves after your decision has been made.
Drawing on over 20 years of experience across multiple vendors and hundreds of E-Invoicing projects, Matt Hammond will share a straight view of what really matters when selecting an E-Invoicing compliance platform.
Key Takeaways Include:
- What vendors mean when they answer your RFP and where they stop short of the full story
- What questions to ask to get to the real answer
- What to do if you’ve already made a decision you regret
