Vision of the 2026 reform and electronic invoicing

Basware views the French reform of 2026 as amodernisation opportunityfor the financial processes of companies.

The main identified challenges are:

• Regulatory compliance: ensuring the transmission and archiving of invoices in accordance with French and European standards.
• Tax transparency and the fight against fraud: ensuring complete and secure traceability.
• Competitiveness: leveraging automation to reduce administrative costs and improve supplier-client relationships.
• International interoperability: thanks to the Peppol network (of which Basware is already an Access Point), facilitating exchanges with partners beyond borders.

Basware adopts a three-step approach:

1. Diagnosis and advice: analysis of the existing situation, identification of impactful use cases and recommendations.
2. Gradual implementation: seamless integration into existing systems (ERP, accounting tools, business solutions), via API or web interfaces.
3. Continuous support: local support, team training and adaptation according to regulatory developments.

Basware provides its clients with specialised resources (white papers, webinars, centres of expertise) and dedicated project teams to secure each step of the transition.
