What e-invoice does

E-Invoice BV, operating as e-invoice.be, is a Belgian private limited company headquartered in Zemst, Belgium, that operates a certified Peppol Access Point for B2B e-invoicing. The platform enables businesses to send and receive e-invoices via email, WhatsApp, or direct forwarding to accounting software (Exact, Gmail, Outlook), and to automatically convert existing PDF, Word, and Excel invoices into Peppol-compliant UBL 2.1 documents through an AI-powered pipeline that combines OCR, multi-model extraction, and cascading EN16931 validators. Underlying technology includes a UBL abstraction REST API that accepts JSON input, auto-generated SDKs in TypeScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, and Java, a CLI tool, and an MCP Server exposing 12 tools for AI agents in Claude, Cursor, and VS Code. Free developer-facing tools (Peppol Radar, Invoice Viewer, Validator, Format Detector, EN 16931 Mapper, VAT Validator, GLN Lookup, Invoice Generator) support self-serve adoption.

The company targets Belgian SMEs and freelancers as its primary segment, with a pay-per-invoice model priced at €0.25/invoice on the Pro plan (packages from €350) and €0.18/invoice on the Enterprise plan, supplemented by a Managed Peppol Access Point offering for high-volume and ERP-integrated organizations. Pricing carries 120% Belgian tax deductibility, and credits are valid for five years. The business model is product-led and API-first, with self-serve registration and minimal sales overhead; a lean 1–10 person team is run by co-founders Toon Vanagt, Willem De Groef, and Tom Van Asbroeck. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent organization, and no enterprise-anchor customers in publicly available data, and its operations are positioned around the Belgian B2B Peppol mandate that took effect January 1, 2026, with the broader EU ViDA directive expected to extend similar mandates across Europe by 2030.
