Process e-invoices automatically

filehub collects incoming e-invoices, reads them, validates them and hands them off structured to your DMS, ERP or accounting — no retyping, no IT project.

2025

The e-invoicing obligation is here

Since January 2025, companies in Germany must be able to receive B2B e-invoices — the obligation to send follows in stages. Anyone still handling incoming XRechnung and ZUGFeRD files manually loses time and risks errors. filehub turns the inbox into an automatic process.

Clearly scoped

What filehub does — and what it does not

Not an invoice creation tool

filehub does not write outgoing invoices and does not replace your accounting or ERP software. Specialised systems exist for that — and filehub connects to them.

The automation layer in between

filehub takes over the path of the incoming e-invoice: collect, read, validate and hand it over cleanly into your existing systems — bidirectional and audit-proof.

The workflow

From inbox to target system — fully automatic

You set the workflow up once via no-code. After that, every e-invoice takes the same secure path.

  1. 01

    Collect

    filehub pulls e-invoices automatically from mailboxes, portals or upload — no manual downloading.

  2. 02

    Read

    An integrated IDP extracts amounts, tax, supplier and line items as structured metadata.

  3. 03

    Validate

    Format and mandatory-field validation plus matching against master data and orders — errors surface immediately.

  4. 04

    File

    Hand-off with metadata to DMS, ERP or accounting — audit-proof and with a complete audit trail.

Supported formats: XRechnung
ZUGFeRD (hybrid PDF/A-3)

The benefit

Less manual work, more reliability

No more retyping

Data lands in the system automatically — an end to manual entry of incoming invoices.

Fewer errors

Validation and master-data matching catch deviations before they reach accounting.

FAQ
What is an e-invoice?

An e-invoice is an invoice in a structured, machine-readable data format (e.g. XRechnung or ZUGFeRD) — not just a PDF image, but data that software can process directly.

What is the difference between XRechnung and ZUGFeRD?

XRechnung is a pure XML format, common in the public sector. ZUGFeRD is a hybrid format: a PDF that also contains the structured data embedded. filehub processes both.

Does filehub create e-invoices as well?

No. filehub is the automation layer for incoming invoices: collect, read, validate and hand them over to your systems. Creating outgoing invoices stays with your accounting or ERP software.

Do I need an IT department for this?

No. The workflows are set up through a no-code interface using templates for standard cases. For more complex connections, our support helps.

How secure is the processing?

filehub is developed in Germany and operated in German, BSI-C5-attested data centres. Processing is GDPR-compliant, tenant-separated and fully audit-logged.

From now on, e-invoices process themselves
