Its usefulness is reflected in several key functions: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Securely transmit invoices and tax data<\/strong> (whether through e-invoicing or e-reporting).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ensure compliance with standardized formats<\/strong> such as Factur-X, UBL, or CII, which are essential for data exchange and interoperability between systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ensure that invoices are archived<\/strong> in compliance with legal retention requirements and with reliable traceability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integrate with various management tools<\/strong>: ERP <strong>systems<\/strong>, accounting software, or industry-specific solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optimize day-to-day business operations<\/strong> by reducing the time spent on processing and minimizing the risk of errors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Criteria for Choosing the Right Accredited Platform<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Interoperability<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verify compatibility with all required formats (Factur-X, UBL, CII) and the ability to integrate with your ERP or management software.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personalized Support<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verify help desk services, technical support, and regulatory compliance during the testing and production phases.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Centralized control<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure real-time visibility into your billing flows (statuses, rejections, payments) with customized dashboards.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verify compliance with ISO 27001 and GDPR standards, as well as full traceability of invoices and transaction flows.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scalability<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explore advanced features such as automation, bank reconciliation, data analysis\u2026<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">View the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impots.gouv.fr\/liste-des-plateformes-agreees-immatriculees-sous-reserve\">official list of Approved Platforms<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you choose more than one Approved Platform?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In theory, a company is not limited to a single Approved Platform. <strong>However<\/strong>, each invoice can only be routed through <strong>a single platform at a time<\/strong> to the Public Invoicing Portal (PPF). In other words, you can use multiple service providers, but you cannot split the processing of a single invoice between two platforms. However, this approach adds to the complexity of management and is not recommended.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why plan ahead now?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though the reform won&#8217;t take effect until 2026, the most agile companies are already preparing their internal processes: auditing workflows, updating their ERP systems, and selecting their future partner.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waiting until the last minute means running the risk of:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>increase the number of late payments,<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>wasting time on manual tasks,<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to be subjected to the reform instead of benefiting from it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Choose the Veryswing Certified Platform for Electronic Invoicing<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veryswing is registered as <strong>an Approved Platform<\/strong> with the DGFiP.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/plateforme-agreee.png\" alt=\"approved platform\" class=\"wp-image-29464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/plateforme-agreee.png 2048w, https:\/\/veryswing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/plateforme-agreee-1536x539.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that through our solutions <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/our-solutions\/vsactivity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VSActivity<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/our-solutions\/vsportage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VSPortage<\/a><\/strong>, you can:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Issue, receive, and forward invoices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit billing information to the tax authorities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veryswing thus serves as a trusted third party.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ensures regulatory compliance, security, and the integrity of transactions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that changes everything!<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Veryswing, interoperability with the VSActivity and VSPortage ERP systems is built right in.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal: to ensure a smooth, secure, and compliant transition for you, while simplifying your day-to-day management.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/veryswing.com\/en\/request-a-demonstration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Request a demo<\/a> to explore the billing module in the VSActivity or VSPortage ERP systems.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Role of a Certified Platform for Electronic Invoicing and the 5 Selection Criteria You Need to Know to Make the Right Choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":24206,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_titles_title":"How to Choose an Approved Electronic Invoicing Platform","_seopress_titles_desc":"What is the purpose of the Certified Platform for electronic invoicing reform?
