Your vision of electronic invoicing and the 2026 reform: (What major challenges do you see for businesses?)
The obligation of electronic invoicing represents an opportunity to simplify and optimise business activities.
From September 2026, VAT-registered businesses in France will be required to receive structured electronic invoices for B2B transactions. This change is part of the European reform VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA), which aims to modernise VAT systems through mandatory electronic invoicing and real-time digital reporting.
Rather than being a purely regulatory burden, this reform offers businesses the opportunity to automate their processes, reduce manual errors, and enhance tax transparency. By adopting electronic invoicing, they can not only improve the efficiency of their financial operations but also embark on a broader digitisation of their internal processes.
Your approach to support: (How do you help your clients prepare and adapt?)
Odoo is an affordable all-in-one software that helps businesses ensure their compliance with electronic invoicing.
Across Europe, Odoo supports businesses in adapting to electronic invoicing regulations and achieving compliance, while also providing an opportunity to digitise a large number of business activities.
Sole traders or businesses with very basic needs can use Odoo's Accounting application for free, while organisations looking to optimise all their processes can access all Odoo applications from €19.90 per user per month.
As a flexible all-in-one platform, Odoo can be fully customised to meet the needs of the business and evolve over time. Thus, a company that starts using Odoo solely for electronic invoicing can easily expand its use by adding new applications and features as its needs evolve.
The Accounting training from Odoo Academy facilitates the transition to electronic invoicing and the use of modern accounting software.
Adopting a new accounting system can be complex, but the accounting training from Odoo Academy is here to simplify this transition. Organised in several cities across France, these free sessions, led by experts, provide both internal accountants and external practitioners with a comprehensive overview of the platform. Participants gain an in-depth understanding of Odoo's key accounting flows, enabling them to manage the company's finances with confidence.
Odoo implementations deliver lasting results
Each Odoo implementation follows a client-centric approach, carried out either by Odoo's internal consultants or through its network of certified partners. These projects rely on the Odoo implementation methodology, a proven framework designed to ensure smooth adoption and lasting satisfaction.
This methodology allows for rapid, efficient, and scalable implementations based on three fundamental principles:
- Simplicity above all
- Focus on what really matters
- Build a relationship of trust
These principles, combined with Odoo's flexibility, enable businesses to start with any configuration and adapt the platform as their needs evolve.
