Comarch and F.I.L.A. Strengthen Their Partnership in Electronic Invoicing

In a significant step forward for European business digitization, Comarch and F.I.L.A. S.p.A. have announced the extension of their electronic invoicing collaboration, originally implemented in Italy in 2022. This partnership has deep roots, with an initial agreement dating back to 2019 that saw the adoption of Comarch's Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system coupled with the integration of SAP ERP, a major management solution for F.I.L.A.

Expanding Horizons

The recent agreement marks a robust commitment to digitization and regulatory compliance across several key European markets. F.I.L.A., a prominent player in the art, design, and coloring industry, aims to harness Comarch's E-Invoicing and E-Archive solutions more extensively in alignment with evolving regulations in various countries. This strategic move is not only about compliance; it's also about streamlining business processes and enhancing operational efficiency within complex regulatory environments.

Kamila Niekraszewicz, Country Manager of Comarch Italy, stated, “F.I.L.A.'s renewed confidence in our solutions speaks volumes about our scalability and effectiveness. We’re eager to support their expansion in Germany, France, Belgium, and Spain, ensuring adherence to local regulations and optimizing their business processes.”

Implementation Timeline and Details

The implementation plan focuses on four primary markets, each with a clear timeline:

• - Germany: The electronic invoicing service will encompass the sending and storage of invoices, ensuring a seamless transition into the new system.
• - France: Starting in 2026, this initiative will begin with two of F.I.L.A.'s group entities, incorporating e-reporting as part of the project.
• - Belgium: Plans are in place for 2026 to deploy the solution, which will comply with Peppol standards, ensuring regional compatibility.
• - Spain: The project is set to kick off in 2027, focusing on real-time validation systems to enhance invoice accuracy and processing speed.

A Future-Oriented Partnership

This agreement is more than a simple service expansion; it signifies Comarch’s position as a vital technology partner for F.I.L.A., effectively supporting their strategic operations in an ever-evolving global market. The collaboration not only enhances efficiency but also ensures that F.I.L.A. can stay ahead of regulatory changes while managing its operational challenges seamlessly.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like that of Comarch and F.I.L.A. are crucial for businesses aiming to thrive in a digitized world. Their joint efforts lay important groundwork for a future where electronic invoicing is not just a requirement but a beneficial tool for efficiency and productivity.
