Finanzamt-compliant USt invoices at 19% / 7% / 0%, XRechnung 3.0 and ZUGFeRD 2.2 out of the box, plus a six-step automated Mahnung sequence that actually gets your customers to pay. Built for the 2025 B2B e-invoicing mandate.
A short guided setup covers your entity, USt-IdNr., Steuernummer, Handelsregister, branding, and team. No onboarding call required, no Steuerberater handholding, no “schedule a demo” wall.
Enter USt-IdNr. or Steuernummer — we validate and pre-fill legal name, address, and Bundesland. Bulk-import from lexoffice / sevDesk CSV in seconds.
Pick items, set quantities. 19% / 7% / 0% USt applied automatically. XRechnung UBL + ZUGFeRD 2.2 hybrid PDF generated instantly — one click, no extra steps.
Six-step Mahnung sequence runs on autopilot. Skips German Feiertage and regional holidays per Bundesland. You get paid; nobody sends awkward emails.

No dead charts. No 27 tabs. Every number on the home screen is an action waiting to happen — and every chart drills into the Rechnung that caused it.

Three shapes of German SMB, three first-week wins. We’ll swap these for real Kundengeschichten once v1 has been in the wild long enough to earn them.
Enable the six-step chaser once and forget it. Clients receive a human-feeling Mahnung sequence — friendly, then neutral, then firm — without you touching a single template. DSO drops; awkward follow-up calls stop.
Every invoice issued in the period auto-feeds the Voranmeldung draft. Review the numbers, adjust if needed, export to ELSTER. No reconciliation weekend. No "where did that 7% row go?" moment at 23:55 on the 10th.

We shipped v1 focused on German USt compliance and XRechnung. Here’s what’s queued — dated where we’re confident, labelled otherwise. We’d rather miss a date than overpromise one.
One-click USt-Voranmeldung submission directly into ELSTER Online — no export, no copy-paste, no re-entry. Supports monthly and quarterly filers. ELSTER API integration is built and unit-tested; certification with Bundeszentralamt für Steuern is the last step.

Yes, free forever — 10 USt invoices per month, 1 user, 1 organisation. Full Finanzamt compliance, PDF generation, and XRechnung / ZUGFeRD export included. No credit card required.
XRechnung is a pure XML e-invoice (UBL 2.1 or UN/CEFACT CII) designed for machine-to-machine exchange, primarily required for public-sector B2G invoices. ZUGFeRD 2.2 is a hybrid: a human-readable PDF/A-3 with the structured XML embedded inside the same file. Both originate from the same invoice data in Oris — you choose which format per recipient.
Germany's B2B mandate started January 2025: all businesses must be able to receive structured e-invoices. Sending obligations phase in: large suppliers from 2025, mid-size from 2026, all B2B from 2028. Oris Invoice is already compliant for all phases.
Primary infrastructure runs in AWS eu-central-1 (Frankfurt). Every tenant is isolated via PostgreSQL row-level security; bank details and customer data are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. GoBD 10-year retention is enforced at the data layer.
Yes. The chaser calendar includes all 9 national Feiertage (Tag der Deutschen Einheit, Weihnachten, etc.) plus configurable regional holidays for Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, NRW, and all other Bundesländer. No reminder fires on a holiday.
Our bulk CSV importer accepts lexoffice and sevDesk export formats directly. Customers, items, and opening invoice balances import in minutes. The importer validates your file in the browser and returns a fixable error CSV if anything needs attention.
Send a GoBD-konform, XRechnung-ready USt invoice in under two minutes. Ten free invoices a month, forever. Upgrade if and when it earns its keep.
