E-INVOICING MADE EASY. NO ERP CHANGE, NO NEW PROCESSES.
E-invoicing presents companies with new challenges. However, you don’t need to implement a new ERP system or completely overhaul your existing invoicing processes.
With steadyPRINT, you can integrate e-invoicing into your existing system landscape. Your current ERP system continues to generate invoices as usual. steadyPRINT analyzes the document, extracts the relevant invoice data, and automatically generates a structured e-invoice from it.
This way, you retain your proven systems and processes—while reducing effort, transition time, and costs.
Expand, Don’t Replace.
Many companies use ERP systems that have been operating reliably for years. However, these systems do not always include the functionality needed to generate e-invoices. Retrofitting such functionality—especially for older systems or custom invoice layouts—can involve significant development, project, and cost efforts.
That’s why steadyPRINT doesn’t integrate directly into the ERP system itself, but rather works with the existing invoice document. Your ERP system generates the invoice as usual—steadyPRINT then handles the necessary steps to convert it into an e-invoice.
Existing systems, invoice layouts, and workflows can continue to be used. This reduces the need for system changes, training, and effort on the part of your IT department.
Existing ERP. New Possibilities.

Automated e-invoicing in the steadyPRINT workflow.
The e-invoice is generated directly from your existing invoicing process. When the invoice is printed, steadyPRINT integrates into the workflow and takes over further processing.
ERP system → existing invoice → steadyPRINT workflow → document analysis → data extraction → e-invoice → further processing
In this process, steadyPRINT analyzes the invoice document and extracts the necessary information. Even different ERP systems and custom invoice layouts can be accommodated through document analysis tailored to the specific use case.
Invoice documents are converted into structured data.
A traditional PDF invoice is not an e-invoice as defined by sales tax law. The key requirement is a structured electronic format that enables the automated processing of invoice information.
steadyPRINT can provide the invoice data extracted from the existing document as a ZUGFeRD or XRechnung document.
In its hybrid form, ZUGFeRD combines the familiar visual PDF invoice with embedded structured XML data. XRechnung focuses on the structured invoice data and enables its automated processing by appropriate systems.

Create. Save. Send. Process further.
Much more than just e-invoicing.
The process doesn’t have to end with the creation of the e-invoice. Because the e-invoice is an integral part of a steadyPRINT workflow, additional steps can be automatically linked directly afterward.
For example, the generated documents and data can be saved, transferred to a backup system, or sent via email. Additional interfaces and processing steps can also be incorporated into the corresponding workflows.
The result is not just an e-invoice, but a fully automated end-to-end document process.
Local processing instead of an external cloud.
Invoices contain sensitive company, customer, and business data. That’s why it’s crucial where this information is processed.
With steadyPRINT, processing takes place locally within your company’s environment. Invoice data does not need to be uploaded to external cloud platforms for conversion.
This ensures that sensitive invoice information remains within your existing infrastructure.
Sensitive data stays with you.

Ready for the e-invoice?
As of January 1, 2025, domestic companies must, in principle, be able to receive e-invoices. Transitional provisions apply to the issuance of e-invoices.
Until the end of 2026, invoice issuers may continue to use other types of invoices provided they meet the legal requirements. For companies with prior-year revenue of no more than 800,000 euros, an extended transitional provision applies through the end of 2027. Starting January 1, 2028, e-invoices will generally be required for transactions between domestic companies that fall under the legal obligation.
