Riding the Tornado: A Guide to Mastering Multinational E-Invoicing and Compliance, sponsored by Fonoa

The e-invoicing mandate has become a digital trade transformation

What started as a compliance requirement is now reshaping how multinational companies manage finance, tax, procurement, payments, and supply chain operations. The question is no longer whether e-invoicing will affect your organization. It's whether you're building a strategy that turns compliance into competitive advantage.

Fonoa is proud to sponsor the 2026 Billentis Report: Riding the Tornado: A Guide to Mastering Multinational E-invoicing and Compliance.

Key takeaways from the billentis report

E-invoicing is growing faster than most organizations are prepared for

Around 300 billion B2B invoices are issued globally each year. Only 29% are currently electronic. By 2030, that number is projected to reach 107 billion electronic B2B invoices annually, driven entirely by mandates already announced. Europe alone is expected to see a 53% increase in e-invoicing volumes over the same period.

Real-time compliance is becoming the norm, not the exception

Continuous Transaction Control models, digital reporting requirements, and mandatory B2B e-invoicing frameworks are expanding across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. ViDA in Europe could generate EUR 111 billion in additional VAT revenues over a decade while reducing compliance costs for businesses by EUR 41 billion.

Country-by-country approaches are no longer viable

Companies that implemented local solutions in response to individual mandates are now facing compounding complexity. The report documents how the most successful multinationals are moving toward centralized governance, harmonized processes, and scalable technology architectures that integrate finance, tax, procurement, legal, and IT.

E-invoicing is becoming the foundation of Integrated Digital Trade

Structured invoice data is no longer just a compliance artifact. It is increasingly the connective tissue linking suppliers, buyers, financial institutions, logistics providers, and tax authorities in real time. This convergence is giving rise to a new market category the report calls Integrated Digital Trade (IDT).

AI is accelerating the next phase

Artificial intelligence is being applied across the entire invoice lifecycle: document processing, data extraction, compliance monitoring, process automation, and predictive analytics. Combined with structured electronic data, AI has the potential to significantly improve operational efficiency and decision-making at scale.
