Introducing E-Invoicing in CERM 7.34: Faster, safer, and fully Peppol-connected
As regulatory requirements evolve and digitalization accelerates, e-invoicing is becoming a crucial part of financial compliance for printers around the world.
With the release of our CERM 7.34 version update, we are introducing powerful new capabilities that help you create, send, and receive electronic invoices in a structured, secure, and standardized way — fully connected to the Peppol network through our new integration with Storecove.
What is an e-invoice — and why does it matter?
An e-invoice is not just a PDF sent by email. It is an invoice created in a structured digital format such as UBL, XML, ZUGFeRD, This format allows companies to automate posting and processing of invoice data.
The benefits include:
No manual entry meaning fewer errors
Faster processing, leading to quicker payments
Compliance with national and international e-invoicing mandates
Secure and traceable exchange of financial documents
Many print businesses are already using structured invoicing formats such as UBL, ZUGFeRD or XML for sales invoices or importing purchase e-invoices directly into CERM MIS. Version update 7.34 takes this one step further.
Storecove: our new Peppol access point integration
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is an internation network to securely exchange electronic documents like e-Invoices.
To connect to this network, companies use a certified Peppol service provider, also known as an access point. The CERM 7.34 version update introduces a direct integration with Storecove, who is one Peppol service provider, which CERM decided to partner with. This integration covers both sides of the four-corner model, the cornerstone of the Peppol architecture:
You (sender) create an invoice in CERM MIS
Storecove (your access point) validates and formats it
Your customer’s access point receives it
Your customer (receiver) receives the structured invoice in their application
And vice versa for incoming purchase invoices.
The result: a fully automated, compliant, and secure invoicing workflow — without manual exporting or uploading of files.
What’s included in our CERM 7.34 version update
Direct Peppol integration via Storecove ( optional charge)
You, as a sender ( CERM user) , will create sales invoices in CERM and they will be send to your customer via Storecove via the access point of your customer.
And the other way around, invoices are send from your supplier via Storecove to you by creating the purchase invoices in CERM for further processing.
The first rollout is for Belgium, but Storecove already supports invoicing and reporting in 31 countries, allowing us to scale this functionality as national mandates evolve.
Improved UBL format
We are enhancing the content and completeness of the UBL invoice format, ensuring full compliance with Storecove and other service providers. Which is important and useful for all other e-invoicing options described below as well.
Other e-invoicing options available in CERM
Alongside the new integration, CERM MIS continues to support alternative e-invoicing setups to match different customer needs:
“File in folder” approach ( included in the base license): Export UBL/XML invoices from CERM MIS and manually exchange them through a service provider portal.
Avalara integration ( optional charge): Another global service provider supporting the full four-corner model (available from version 7.32).
New APIs for custom integrators ( optional charge): As from version 7.34, external service providers or API integrators can use our e-invoicing APIs to fetch UBL sales invoices, return status updates, and push purchase invoices into CERM MIS.
This flexibility ensures every customer can choose the solution that best fits their business processes and compliance requirements.
Ready for the next stage of invoicing
E-invoicing is not just a regulatory requirement — it is a major opportunity to streamline your administrative workflows, eliminate manual steps, and prepare your business for the future of financial automation.
With the introduction of the Storecove integration in version 7.34, CERM MIS now offers a complete, reliable, and scalable e-invoicing ecosystem.
If you are interested in implementing one of these solutions or if want to prepare further for upcoming e-invoicing obligations, please reach out to CERM support by raising a ticket in the Zoho support portal to setup your e-invoicing option.
