In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organisations are seeking innovative solutions to streamline financial operations, enhance compliance, and drive cost savings. Two leading platforms in this space, SAP Concur and eezi, Powered by VAT IT, offer powerful capabilities individually. When integrated, they provide a comprehensive approach to managing global expenses and e-invoicing, unlocking new efficiencies and value for businesses worldwide. From 2025, this combined e-invoicing and automation solution is a reality.
SAP Concur is a globally recognised expense management system (EMS) trusted by organisations of all sizes. It automates and simplifies the process of managing business expenses, travel bookings, and accounts payable invoice processing. SAP Concur enables users to capture receipts, submit expense reports, and approve transactions from anywhere, ensuring visibility and control over spending. The platform integrates with a wide range of financial systems, providing robust reporting, analytics, and compliance features to support global business operations.
eezi, Powered by VAT IT, is a leading global e-Invoicing provider that specialises in automating the creation, delivery, and validation of electronic invoices. With compliance at the core, eezi ensures that invoices comply with local and international regulatory requirements and e-Invoicing systems, helping organisations avoid penalties and streamline cross-border transactions. eezi integrates directly with taxpayers ERP systems and accounting software to automate workflows and reduce manual intervention. Beyond e-Invoicing, VAT IT brings expertise in VAT reclaim, tax compliance, and financial process optimisation, aiding companies in maximising their returns and reducing administrative burdens.
As businesses increasingly operate across borders, managing accounts payable (AP) has become significantly more complex, especially with ever-changing e-Invoicing mandates and jurisdiction-specific compliance requirements. That’s where eezi, our e-Invoicing SaaS solution, comes in. It serves as a seamless connector between global electronic invoice senders and Concur Invoice, enhancing workflows.

eezi’s e-Invoicing platform is designed to receive structured electronic purchase invoices from suppliers worldwide, where e-Invoicing mandates require it. It supports standardized networks like Peppol, as well as government-authorized platforms such as the SdI (Italy), ANAF (Romania), CFDI (Mexico) and many others.
Once received, invoices are transformed into a standardised format and automatically delivered into your Concur Invoice system: completely touchless and fully compliant.
