The e-invoicing reform, which will gradually come into force from 2026, redefines the rules of the game for all players in the ecosystem. Dematerialization Operators (OD), such as editors of management, ERP, EDM or accounting software, are now keen to join forces with a Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP) to provide their clients with a compliant offering.
This obligation, though demanding, represents a unique opportunity to strengthen your services, gain competitiveness and build customer loyalty. But why has this partnership become essential? And how do you choose the ideal PDP to support your transformation?
In this article, find out what’s at stake for ODs as a result of this reform, and the benefits of a strategic partnership with a registered PDP. Meet legal requirements and develop a high value-added offer.
A new regulatory framework redefines roles
The widespread introduction of electronic invoicing in France, scheduled for September 1, 2026, will profoundly transform the ecosystem of dematerialized invoice exchanges.
The aim of these regulations is to increase fiscal transparency through VAT control, simplify exchanges between companies and improve their competitiveness.
To achieve this, the State imposes a strict regulatory framework that redistributes responsibilities between the various players.
The turning point in the DGFIP press release of October 15, 2024
In its press release dated October 15, 2024, the DGFIP announced a major change.
The Public Invoicing Portal (PPF), initially intended as a central exchange management platform, is now refocusing its services on two main missions:
- Directory role to identify each company and its invoice-receiving platform.
- Concentrator of data transmitted by PDPs to tax authorities.
As a result, the PPF no longer directly manages the exchange of invoices. All French companies must use the services of a partner platform to issue and receive their electronic invoices.
Previously authorized to send their clients’ invoices directly to the PPF, ODs now have to use a PDP.
Impact on Dematerialization Operators (ODs)
This regulatory change means that ODs can no longer rely on their traditional services to ensure their clients’ compliance. They must partner with a certified PDP to transmit invoices and associated data, or risk being unable to offer a functional and compliant solution.
This change positions PDPs as key strategic players in the e-invoicing ecosystem.
By working with a PDP, ERP, EDM and other management or accounting software can concentrate on their core business, while guaranteeing their clients a robust, compliant and scalable solution.
The benefits of partnering with a certified PDP
The changes brought about by the e-invoicing French reform and the DGFIP press release make PDPs essential players in the dematerialization ecosystem.
For ODs, partnering with a PDP is no longer just an option, but a necessity to remain competitive and compliant with new obligations.
Here are some of the benefits for ERP, EDM, management or accounting software, for example.
Ensuring compliance and meeting legal requirements
The registration of a PDP by the tax authorities is a guarantee of compliance with regulatory requirements. As a Dematerialization Operator, by working with a registered PDP, you can be sure that your users’ invoicing flows comply fully with legal obligations.
This enables your clients to comply with new legal obligations, while ensuring that your solution remains up to date with future regulatory developments.
Process simplification
Working with a PDP enables you to reduce the technical complexity of invoice flow management and focus on improving your own solutions.
Besides, a PDP has the tools and processes to manage invoice statuses (rejections, acceptances, etc.), allowing you to focus on innovation and other aspects of your offering without having to worry about technical and regulatory details.
Enhance the attractiveness of your offer
ODs who choose to partner with a PDP benefit from a significant competitive advantage. By offering a compliant, secure and scalable solution, you build customer confidence, which is essential for retaining existing users and attracting new prospects.
The ability to offer a complete package that complies with the requirements of the reform means you can provide a turnkey solution that guarantees your clients a smooth transition to mandatory electronic invoicing.
Ongoing development with a long-term partner
E-invoicing reform doesn’t stop in 2026. When you partner with a PDP, you benefit from a long-term partnership that will support you well beyond that date. Platforms are constantly evolving to meet new regulatory requirements and incorporate the latest technological innovations.
By working with a PDP, you can be sure of always offering a cutting-edge solution, capable of meeting the future challenges of dematerialization.
OD: 8 criteria to consider when choosing your PDP partner
Having talked to a large number of ODs, we are now in a position to list their expectations.
Choose a PDP which:
- offers invoice exchange methods (API or EDI) that are equivalent to those proposed by PPF
- offers a status and lifecycle exchange mode equivalent to those proposed by PPF, as well as a “simplified” exchange mode.
- is “neutral”, offering a cross-functional service that is not dependent on any one business player: no conflict of interest or scope limitation
- offers to expose all data in API, for easy integration, and the possibility of offering a unique experience to the user
- is able to exchange other EDI or structured formats (EDIFACT or other countries), not just the base formats
- offers integration flexibility (development of specific APIs, for example)
- has a real track record and experience in e-invoicing
- is at “human scale” for a balanced relationship.
All these expectations lead to a significantly reduced list of PDP candidates. Discover now why TX2 CONCEPT is the ideal partner.
