Unifiedpost and French federation of accountants sustainably join
forces
Ongoing partnership for French
e-invoicing platform jefacture.com will be anchored in joint
venture
La Hulpe, Belgium – December 22, 2022,
7.00 a.m. CET, European leader in e-invoicing Unifiedpost Group
(Euronext: UPG) (Unifiedpost, the Group or the Company) has set up
a joint venture with ECMA - the entity linked to the digitization
of the cabinets of the French National Council of the Order of
Chartered Accountants - to establish their ongoing partnership in
the long term. It will also allow both parties to maximise the full
market potential of jefacture.com. This e-invoicing platform
developed by Unifiedpost for ECMA enables French chartered
accountants to help their clients in the transition towards
mandatory B2B e-invoicing. Next to that, it facilitates the
additional, direct market entry of the platform to tens of
thousands of SMEs.
As from 1 July 2024, all French companies should
be able to receive e-invoices. This implies a significant
implementation of calibrated technology by all businesses in order
to comply with this VAT-based regulation. Already in 2020, ECMA
therefore closed a partnership with Belgian listed e-invoicing
provider Unifiedpost in order to provide French accountants with a
platform to manage the e-invoicing flows of their clients. Today
jefacture.com allows SMEs to dematerialize and route all purchase
and sales invoices in Factur-X format and to integrate them in
their management tools. In France, there are about 20.000
accountants serving 2,75 million of SMEs. More than 600 million B2B
invoices are send out yearly in the country.
Now this partnership is taken to the next level.
As ECMA wants to invest heavily in the ongoing transformation and
therefore wants to sustainable anchor the exploitation of
jefacture.com, also to SMEs directly, the joint venture Facturel
was created together with Unifiedpost.
François Millo, Director of ECMA stated:
"Although mandatory e-invoicing will bring productivity gains for
businesses, and in particular the smallest ones, it will
nevertheless remain complex to implement. With jefacture.com,
chartered accountants know that they can rely on a trusted
e-invoicing platform in the context of this crucial reform.
jefacture.com enables them to be at the heart of the invoicing
flows, to assist their clients in passing this legislative
milestone.”
Hans Leybaert, CEO and founder of Unifiedpost
Group stated: “Thanks to the joined expertise and experience of
ECMA and Unifiedpost, accumulated by the jefacture.com platform
since its launch in 2020, chartered accountants and companies have
a functional and efficient tool that allows them to anticipate the
transition to electronic invoicing without waiting until July 2024.
With the creation of Facturel, we are sending a message to the
market of a joint long-term collaboration. It shows the necessary
commitment and allows the pooling of significant resources to meet
the security requirements set by the public authorities.”
