To support its clients in the new 2024 e-invoicing reform, Flowie positions itself as a PDP (Partner Dematerialization Platform).

I. The 2024 e-invoicing reform

As of July 1, 2024, all companies will need to be able to receive electronic invoices. On that same date, large companies will be required to issue electronic invoices. This obligation will be effective from January 1, 2025 for mid-market enterprises and January 1, 2026 for SMBs and micro-businesses.

Companies will be required to transmit and receive invoices in one of the formats made mandatory by the reform, and then transmit them to their customers, no longer directly, but either through a public invoicing platform or through a Partner Dematerialization Platform approved by the Ministry of the Economy and Finance.

II. Partner Dematerialization Platforms

PDPs are offered by private actors and guarantee the issuance, transmission, and reception of electronic invoices in compliance with the provisions of the reform.

To learn more about the reform and its obligations, you can read this article.

To be recognized as a PDP, platforms must be registered by the tax administration. This registration is granted following the examination of an application file submitted by the operator. They must in particular prove their ability to perform the functionalities required of a PDP and provide sufficient guarantees.

III. Flowie: a PDP powered by breakthrough technological innovations

Flowie aims to become a dematerialization platform, certified by the State, intended for all entities subject to VAT. As a PDP, Flowie will meet the regulatory requirements of the reform:

  • centralize the receipt of your invoices
  • automatically transmit your customer invoices to the appropriate recipient and to the tax administration, in accordance with the formats required by the reform and in a fully automated manner.

But above all, it will go beyond the requirements of the reform to continue increasing the competitiveness of its clients. Labeled deep tech, Flowie offers advanced B2B transaction services that allow finance departments to optimize their operational performance through, for example:

  • An AI invoice validation copilot
  • Advanced collaboration and automation services
  • Governance systems and data analytics for finally complete and real-time visibility on treasury

This reform will allow us to serve our clients even better. We are committed to supporting them as simply as possible in this structural transition for the French economy and the lives of businesses.
