Jefacture.com receives its official registration number for mandatory invoicing

Unifiedpost has obtained its official registration number for Jefacture.com with the PDP (Partner Dematerialization Platform) in France. Jefacture.com is an e-invoicing platform developed by Unifiedpost for ECMA, which enables French chartered accountants to transition their clients ahead of mandatory e-invoicing legislation in 2026.

Unifiedpost partnered via a joint venture (set up in 2022) with the Expert-Comptable Media Association (ECMA), the French organisation responsible for providing digital tools to chartered accountants and a subsidiary of the National Council of Certified Public Accountants, to launch its latest digital accounting platform in France. The registration with the PDP aligns with the French government's initiative to digitise and streamline the invoicing process for businesses.

Jefacture.com is committed to supporting the accounting profession and businesses:

• Full compliance with invoice dematerialisation regulations, particularly Article 26 of the 2022 Amending Finance Law;
• Ability to issue and receive electronic invoices for domestic (e-invoicing) and international (e-reporting) operations;
• Interoperability with partner platforms through the use of the PEPPOL protocol;
• Capacity to integrate extra-financial information (CSR, energy consumption, etc.) for CSRD reporting;
• Secure data storage guaranteeing the integrity of exchanges;
• Transparent and adapted pricing for firms and companies;
• Developments centred on the needs of accountants and their clients, with an updated version (including the latest requirements defined by the French government dated 19.06.2024) to be presented at the next accountants' congress in Marseille on the 9^th of October 2024.

This registration highlights:

• Robust technology: Unifiedpost's technology is designed for easy integration with other software solutions. By seamlessly incorporating Unifiedpost’s e-invoicing compliance technology into Jefacture.com, Unifiedpost demonstrates the modularity and flexibility of its platform;
• Growing network: Strengthening Unifiedpost’s network within the digital processing ecosystem; and
• Regulatory upside: Unifiedpost’s established technology is ready to leverage the impact of regulatory implementation in France.

Jefacture.com will pilot its regulatory compliance technology in 2024 to go live in 2025, ahead of the e-invoice regulatory mandates coming into effect in France in 2026.
