For Customers, Suppliers, Public Authorities and Platforms
There is hardly a business process today that is undergoing as many changes as invoicing. More and more, established invoicing processes involve the most varied transmission channels, formats and media types. Invoicing requirements, which now also include those of other countries, are so complex that existing systems and infrastructures frequently reach their limits.

And Retarus supports that invoicing processes you use for both your customers and suppliers. We also work together with public authorities across Europe as well as platforms such as OpenPeppol and Ariba.

Manage All of Your Invoice Process Requirements Centrally
Outbound
Retarus supports your invoicing via all of today’s conventional communication channels. Each month, we send millions of invoices for our customers. Thanks to hybrid formats that combine PDF and structured invoicing data, you can set simple EDI parameters to define the outgoing channel.
Inbound
Invoices are sent through the most varied channels that are often very difficult to manage. Simple PDF documents are not very useful in this case, because even though they are “digital” and cost-effective, they cannot be processed in a structured or automatic way. Retarus can work with all of your input channels and capture unstructured documents in such a way that you always receive structured documents in the end.
Your Advantage with Retarus
Document validation
Retarus document validation helps you save an enormous amount of time otherwise spent on checking details and correcting errors.
Long-term archiving according to GoBD guidelines
You no longer need to keep pace with ever-changing compliance requirements. This means you are always up to date when something changes.
Electronic signature
With Retarus’ Signing Service, PDFs and selected EDI formats receive a qualified electronic signature and therefore comply with external or internal compliance requirements.
Send Electronic Invoices to Authorities – The “XRechnung” Is Here!
Anyone in Germany who wants to issue invoices to federal, state and local authorities in the future must do so electronically. PDF invoices will no longer be permitted for this. Instead, data must be transferred in the form of an XRechnung (a special e-invoice format).
Another buzzword in e-invoicing is the ZUGFeRD 2.0 hybrid format. This is because in addition to a PDF document, the ZUGFeRD format also includes a structured, standard-compliant XML file. ZUGFeRD is particularly suited for sending bulk invoices. In the past, invoices were sent as simple PDF files, which often complicated things for recipients when they tried to capture the data.
PEPPOL: Retarus Connects You to Europe’s Public Authorities
Retarus is fully certified as a “Certified PEPPOL Access Point”. As such, we make it possible for you to send electronic invoices to more and more public institutions in the future throughout all of Europe. PEPPOL is the acronym for Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line. Public institutions and private companies can exchange electronic commercial documents via this interoperable network.
PEPPOL in Germany
In Germany, this specifically concerns the implementation of the XRechnung. Federal authorities are already able to receive them; states and municipalities will be able to receive them in the spring of 2020. Suppliers will be required to submit their invoices as an XRechnung as of November 2020. PEPPOL is thus the defined communication channel for the automated transfer of invoices (smaller quantities can also be submitted individually via decentralized portals belonging to the federal government and state governments or via a wide variety of email addresses or De-Mail addresses).
