MAKE TAX TRANSFORMATIVE
Implementing e-invoicing for a global brewer
A global brewing company turned to us when it needed to implement e-invoicing in Belgium before the mandate went live in January 2026. Fail to comply and it could face big fines. Fail to implement an effective system and delayed invoices could impact its entire supply chain.
The roll out was complicated by the fact it was hooking up a state-of-the-art e-invoicing solution with a legacy version of SAP.

MAKE IT HAPPEN
Meeting e-invoicing deadlines for Belgium
Our client, a global brewing company, engaged us to help it implement e-invoicing in Belgium – one of its biggest markets. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to 5,000 euros for each offence. A failed implementation could also delay the release of invoices and impact its entire supply chan.
The company was still undergoing a transition to the latest cloud-based version of SAP. But it couldn’t wait for this to be completed before implementing e-invoicing. So, we were tasked with helping it integrate a state-of-the-art e-invoicing system with a legacy version of SAP.
MAKE CHANGE FLOW
Face time makes the difference
Many businesses haven’t yet experienced e-invoicing. Our client’s teams were used to handling XML code. So, we developed a user manual to give them a firm understanding of how the XML related to what appeared on the final PDF invoice that went to clients.
The changes required by the e-invoicing regulations meant that the client’s team had to adjust how they operated.
MAKE STRONG FOUNDATIONS
A blueprint for future e-invoicing roll outs
The e-invoicing solution went live on time for the 1 January 2026 deadline. On go live, 92% to 95% of invoices that were generated were successfully submitted without errors. And there were no rejections from customers.
How we’re making the difference
We helped our client successfully meet the deadline for e-invoicing in Belgium. And, in doing so, we have established a trusted blueprint that can be reused for future implementations.
