Invoicing built for German compliance.
Auto-generate ZUGFeRD/UBL XML invoices that meet German e-invoicing law. PEPPOL-ready, GoBD-compliant, audit-trail built in. From delivery completion to paid invoice, automated.
Manual invoicing kills cash flow — and German compliance is brutal.
Delayed billing means delayed payment. Most logistics operations bill weekly or even monthly because manual invoicing takes too long. Every day of delay is a day of cash flow lost.
ZUGFeRD/UBL XML is technically complex. Most fleets ignore it, hoping their customers don't ask. Then a B2G contract appears requiring it — and they scramble to retrofit something that should have been built in from day one.
GoBD compliance requires audit trails that most billing tools simply don't produce. When the tax audit comes, you're stuck reconstructing invoice history from emails, PDFs, and memory — and hoping nothing's missing.
Auto-generated. ZUGFeRD-native. Audit-ready from day one.
ZUGFeRD and UBL — both formats, native support.
Trackosteps generates valid ZUGFeRD 2.1.1 hybrid invoices (PDF + embedded XML) and UBL 2.1 alternatives. Whichever format your customers or PEPPOL endpoint requires, you're ready.
ZUGFeRD 2.1.1
The current standard for German e-invoicing. A PDF/A-3 file with embedded XML — humans see a normal invoice, machines parse the structured data. Required for B2G after 2026.
- PDF/A-3 archival format with embedded XML
- Profiles: BASIC, EN 16931, EXTENDED
- Compliant with §14 UStG German tax law
- Validated against XRechnung specification
- Auto-generated from delivery + customer data
UBL 2.1 + PEPPOL
For customers and government endpoints that prefer pure XML over hybrid PDF. Native support for the PEPPOL network (the EU-wide e-invoicing standard).
- OASIS UBL 2.1 conformant XML
- PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 profile
- Direct delivery via PEPPOL access points
- Validation against XRechnung CIUS
- Cross-border EU invoicing built in
Customers receive the format they prefer. You don't pick a side — Trackosteps generates whichever is needed, per customer.
Everything billing should do, automated.
From the moment a delivery is marked complete to the moment payment lands — every step covered.
