Isabel Group launches Flowin, a new solution enabling European businesses to swiftly embrace electronic invoicing. Flowin’s API or makes every ERP, accounting, and invoicing software compatible with the European Peppol network for sending and receiving e-invoices securely. Isabel Group aims to assist businesses to be ready by January 1, 2026, for mandatory electronic invoicing in Belgium.
An e-invoice is not merely a PDF version of a paper invoice but a structured UBL file (Universal Business Language, an XML-format document) containing all necessary financial data. For exchange, businesses in Europe predominantly use the Peppol network via authorized access points.
To send e-invoices, Belgian businesses must first connect to the Peppol electronic invoicing network. Flowin bridges the gap between their ERP tool or other invoicing tool and Peppol. Thus, Flowin automates the sending and receiving of invoices from their existing software. This automation enables clients to save time, reduce encoding errors, and mitigate invoice fraud risks.
Through the Peppol network, Flowin automatically prepares the e-invoice in the recipient’s software. Recipients do not need to save an email attachment or process the invoice differently. The recipient then has the option to directly validate the invoice or initiate an approval process.
