The Biggest Myths of E‑Invoicing: Michał Kacperek on the “E‑Invoicing Pulse”

E‑Invoicing Pulse represents the living, breathing reality of digital transformation. It's where the technical world of XML and automation meets the human experience. We aren't just talking about data; we're capturing the energy, the challenges, and the collective heartbeat of the experts who are driving the industry forward.

So far, “E‑Invoicing Pulse” has captured how outside experts and our long‑time partners see the shift to mandatory e‑invoicing. This time, we turn the camera on our own side of the table. Michał Kacperek, Consulting Director for DACH at Comarch E‑Invoicing, joined us for a quick interview to share what years of hands‑on rollouts have taught him.

Michał has a long list of e‑invoicing myths to bust, starting with a familiar assumption: that switching to e‑invoicing makes accounts payable fully touchless. “You’re going to validate your invoices anyway,” he says – no matter how much of the process gets automated, that check still needs a person behind it.

More industry lies he hears constantly?

❌That the transition is easy

❌ Every country’s rollout is the same

According to Michał, both claims sound convenient to believe at the start of a project, but are expensive to find out otherwise by the end of it. Archiving gets the same treatment. Given a choice between managing a private cloud and handing the job to a certified third‑party provider, he doesn’t hesitate – “they do it better, cheaper, and faster.”
