Who should use Vatevo?

Vatevo is not for everyone. It is designed for companies that are, or will soon be, under EU e-invoicing and digital reporting mandates. This page explains when you actually need a solution like Vatevo – and when a simple PDF invoice is still enough.

You definitely need Vatevo if:

  • •You are an EU-based company with a local VAT registration (VAT ID) and your country is rolling out mandatory e-invoicing (e.g. SDI in Italy, XRechnung in Germany, KSeF in Poland, Factur-X in France).
  • •You are a non-EU company (for example, US, Israel, UK, Switzerland) that has registered for an EU VAT number (directly or via a fiscal representative) and you issue invoices to EU customers under that VAT registration.
  • •You run a SaaS product, marketplace, or platform that must generate and submit compliant e-invoices on behalf of your customers (for example, merchants, sellers, or clinics) into national gateways such as SDI, KSeF, or Peppol access points.
  • •You regularly issue or receive hundreds or thousands of B2B invoices per month in countries with mandatory e-invoicing, and manual portals or PDF uploads are no longer realistic.
  • •You need a single API and dashboard to handle multiple EU formats (FatturaPA, XRechnung, Factur-X, etc.) plus long-term legal archiving and audit-ready evidence.

Vatevo is a strong fit if:

  • •You are planning to expand your EU operations and expect to cross thresholds where local e-invoicing or real-time reporting becomes mandatory in the next 12–24 months.
  • •You want to hide national e-invoicing complexity behind a single, SaaS-friendly API instead of building and maintaining separate integrations for SDI, KSeF, Peppol, and other country-specific channels.
  • •You need a vendor-neutral layer above existing ERPs, billing systems, or payment providers, without locking yourself into a legacy compliance vendor.
  • •You want to be "ViDA-ready" before the 2030 intra-EU B2B e-invoicing and digital reporting requirements take effect.

You probably do NOT need Vatevo if:

  • •You are a non-EU company that sells only digital B2B services (for example, pure SaaS or consulting) to EU businesses and you are not VAT-registered in the EU. In most of these cases, reverse charge applies and no local e-invoicing gateway (such as SDI) is involved today.
  • •You issue only a handful of invoices per year and can comfortably handle local portal uploads or manual solutions required by your accountant.
  • •You only sell to consumers (B2C) via platforms that already handle all compliance and e-invoicing (and you do not operate your own invoicing or billing system).
  • •You have no plans to register for VAT in any EU country and no mid-term plan to scale sales operations in the EU.

If you are unsure whether you fall into the "must have" or "nice to have" category, we recommend a quick compliance review. In many cases, the trigger is not where your company is incorporated, but where you are VAT-registered and which countries are making e-invoicing mandatory for your type of transactions.
