Sovos Compliance Network - Global E-Invoicing Platform

## Why Sovos

Unlike point solutions that cover limited geographies or require extensive custom development, Sovos provides a single-platform approach with pre-certified government connections, pre-built ERP connectors, and continuous regulatory updates managed by in-house compliance experts. This means faster go-live (6-8 weeks on average), fewer integration risks, and no disruption to existing workflows.

## How It Works

Sovos integrates with ERP, billing, and financial systems through APIs, flat-file imports, and prebuilt connectors. The solution captures transactional data at the point of invoice creation and orchestrates the following workflow:

• **Data extraction and transformation** aligned to country-specific schemas and mandates
• **Validation and enrichment** ensuring each invoice meets local formatting and tax requirements
• **Submission to government platforms** or approved networks (e.g., PEPPOL)
• **Clearance status and acknowledgment return** including invoice approval codes back to the source system

Sovos supports both clearance and reporting models across multiple jurisdictions, handling B2B, B2G, and B2C transactions within a unified framework.

## ERP Integration

Sovos integrates natively with SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, and other ERP or financial systems. Integration includes testing to ensure successful transmission and response handling, enabling organizations to maintain compliance while preserving existing ERP and billing workflows - without costly customizations.

## Use Case: Navigating Multi-Country Compliance

A global manufacturer expanding e-invoicing across Latin America can onboard multiple countries within a single implementation cycle. Sovos validates invoices against each country's schema, submits to the relevant tax authority, and returns clearance statuses to SAP S/4HANA - all within a unified platform. As new mandates emerge, Sovos deploys regulatory updates automatically, eliminating manual tracking and reducing rejection risks.

## Security and Certifications

Sovos is ISO 27001 certified for Information Security Management, meeting rigorous data security, availability, and confidentiality requirements. The platform also holds SOC-1 Type 2 certification, providing independent assurance of internal controls over financial reporting processes. Secure e-archiving ensures long-term storage and retrieval that meets global regulatory standards with full audit trails.

## Real-Time Visibility and Compliance Management

Sovos centralizes invoice validation, government clearance, error management, and audit history within a unified dashboard. Real-time visibility into invoice statuses and compliance exceptions enables teams to identify and resolve issues before they become penalties.

## Pricing and Getting Started

Sovos Compliance Network is priced per country and tiered by volume. Average implementation takes 6-8 weeks from kickoff to go-live.
