Leipzig, Germany, April 2025 — HotelFriend, a leading provider of hotel management solutions, is proud to announce its integration with eInvoicing – a major update that ensures hoteliers across Europe are prepared for the upcoming regulatory changes around digital invoicing.
With this release, HotelFriend continues its mission to simplify hotel operations while helping businesses stay compliant, competitive, and future-ready.
European legislation on eInvoicing
Electronic invoicing (eInvoicing) is the structured, automated exchange of invoice data between a supplier and a buyer. Unlike paper invoices or PDFs, which still require human input and manual processing, eInvoices are machine-readable and can be automatically imported into the buyer’s accounts payable system without the need for manual data entry.
This shift isn’t optional: across the European Union, eInvoicing is becoming mandatory for Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G) transactions as part of the EU’s broader push for tax transparency, digitalization, and VAT fraud prevention.
Countries like Italy, France, Germany, and Poland have already started implementing their national frameworks based on the EU Directive 2014/55/EU, with full adoption expected to roll out in phases through 2025 and beyond.
What this means to hotels
The new HotelFriend eInvoicing integration is designed specifically for the hospitality sector, helping hoteliers:
● Generate compliant invoices that meet the latest EU and national requirements
● Transmit invoices directly to tax authorities or government platforms as required (e.g., ELSTER in Germany)
● Avoid penalties and reporting gaps during audits or financial reviews
● Reduce manual work for front desk and accounting staff
● Speed up payment processing from corporate and B2B clients
As a company that already ensures compliance with GoBD, TSE, GDPR, and DSFinVK, HotelFriend now offers a comprehensive invoicing system that covers all legal and technical bases – so hoteliers can keep their financial processes audit-proof, efficient, and future-ready.
