Question 1

How does the service work?

Accepted Answer

We convert your PDF invoice into an e-invoice (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD) and send it directly to your invoice recipients or back to you. The transfer takes place either via email or AS2/SFTP connection.

Question 2

Can I test the service in advance?

A test is performed during setup and is not necessary beforehand. Our software learns to read your PDFs correctly, guaranteeing error-free operation. You will only be invoiced once the setup has been successfully completed.

What does setup mean?

We teach our software how to read your PDFs. A fingerprint is created based on your sample documents.
