Please note the following factsheet for Interconnect:
A digital invoice is issued, sent and received in a predefined, structured electronic format (e.g. XML). In this way, invoices can be processed completely automatically and electronically from software to software or transferred digitally via an invoice portal.
Thanks to standardization and automation, receiving invoices digitally comes with major benefits: you save time and money. There is no longer any need to enter and process invoice data manually, and you can continue processing accounts payable invoices in either a fully or semi-automated way. This allows you to benefit from the significant savings potential of digital invoicing. At the same time, all invoices are in your software and can be viewed later in your digital archive. Payment transactions are carried out using existing processes, and it is very easy to track all actions thanks to electronic storage.
In Switzerland, there are various players involved in sending and receiving e-invoices:
To receive digital invoices in the B2B sector, you need a service provider who prepares the incoming invoice data so that it can be processed automatically in your software. PostFinance works with many software partners who offer interfaces to PostFinance in their software that enable you as a user to send and receive digital invoices. PostFinance is also an eInvoicing provider, an eBill network partner and an eBill-affiliated bank. PostFinance therefore offers you comprehensive billing solutions from a single source.
The eInvoicing portal makes receiving and managing your e-invoices more straightforward. Simply register online and benefit from numerous self-service functions. For instance, you can search for, filter and analyse your bills based on various criteria, or manage your own e-invoice settings. New e-invoice customers can register for the service directly online.
