Accounting / advisory / e-invoicing compliance · Compliance format — handled via Factur-X / ZUGFeRD export
AI integration for Factur-X (FR/DE) — automate without switching
Factur-X is a hybrid e-invoice format, not a SaaS with an API — we generate and read it for you, without migrating.
In short: EBROTECH bridges AI to Factur-X (ZUGFeRD) without migrating: Factur-X is a compliance format, not a SaaS with an API, so we generate and parse compliant Factur-X files (PDF/A-3 with embedded EN-16931 XML) from your existing software's output and run AI invoice chasing and reconciliation on top. Your accounting software stays as it is.
What is Factur-X (FR/DE) and what is it for?
Factur-X (known as ZUGFeRD in Germany) is the Franco-German hybrid e-invoice standard: a PDF/A-3 with embedded structured XML. It is a compliance format, not a SaaS with an API. Most agencies cannot help you here. EBROTECH bridges your accounting software to it, generating and reading Factur-X files so AI workflows run on top, and you keep your software as it is.
What it's used for
- Keep your existing accounting or invoicing software
- Generate compliant Factur-X / ZUGFeRD invoices automatically
- Read and extract data from inbound Factur-X invoices
- Run AI chasing and reconciliation on top of the format
What frustrates Factur-X (FR/DE) users?
- Factur-X is a standard, not a tool, so nobody offers to automate it for you
- Generating compliant hybrid PDF/XML invoices by hand is error-prone
- Inbound Factur-X invoices still get processed manually
- Compliance deadlines loom and your software does not fully cover the format

What does EBROTECH automate on top of Factur-X (FR/DE)?
Factur-X (FR/DE) stays your source of truth. We add the layer it doesn't do on its own: answering, reminding, chasing and winning back customers with AI agents.
Automatic generation of compliant Factur-X / ZUGFeRD invoices
Parsing of inbound Factur-X to extract structured data
AI invoice chasing on top of the generated invoices
Reconciliation and reminders driven by the embedded XML
How does AI connect with Factur-X (FR/DE)?
Factur-X is not a SaaS and has no API — it is the Franco-German hybrid e-invoice standard (PDF/A-3 with embedded EN-16931 XML, known as ZUGFeRD in Germany). We bridge it honestly by generating and parsing compliant Factur-X files from your existing software's output, and running AI on top. No invented API. We confirm your formats and compliance scope in discovery.
What the connector does NOT do
- It does NOT replace Factur-X (FR/DE). It only connects on top.
- It does NOT touch sensitive data without your approval.
- It does NOT migrate your data to another system (migration is Tier 3).
Factur-X (FR/DE) API: can you connect AI?
Factur-X (FR/DE) has no open API today, so we connect via scheduled export/import. The AI works on top of that data without touching Factur-X (FR/DE). We confirm the real path in discovery.
Are you the maker of Factur-X (FR/DE)?
We build Factur-X (FR/DE)'s official API and MCP server in weeks, under your brand or white-label, so AI agents can recommend and use your product before they can only do it with your competitors'.
How we work with vendorsCloud connection with Factur-X (FR/DE)
Factur-X (FR/DE) lives on-premise/desktop, so the cloud connection runs through a local agent that bridges it to the cloud securely. You don't migrate to the cloud — we bring the AI to where your data already is.
Factur-X (FR/DE) + ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Codex & MCP
Each AI tool does something different around Factur-X (FR/DE): ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Gemini (Google) draft and summarise text, Claude AI (Anthropic) reasons over complex cases, Perplexity searches and verifies facts on the fly, and Codex or GitHub Copilot help write the connector code. None of them, on their own, acts on your data — they don't read a contact, book an appointment or chase an invoice. EBROTECH builds the connector with Claude Code and OpenAI models, exposed as an MCP server where it fits, so those AI agents do act on top of Factur-X (FR/DE), safely and with your approval.

When NOT to connect with Factur-X (FR/DE)?
If you need Spain's Facturae, Italy's FatturaPA, Portugal's SAF-T or Germany's public-sector XRechnung instead, see that format's profile. Factur-X / ZUGFeRD is the Franco-German hybrid PDF/XML standard.
Frequently asked questions about Factur-X (FR/DE)
Is Factur-X a piece of software with an API?
No. Factur-X is a compliance standard, a hybrid PDF/A-3 with embedded XML (ZUGFeRD in Germany). There is no API. We bridge it by generating and reading the files honestly, which is the real route.
Do I have to change my accounting software?
No. You keep your software. We generate and parse compliant Factur-X files from its output and run AI workflows on top.
Can you both create and read Factur-X invoices?
Yes. We generate compliant Factur-X / ZUGFeRD invoices and parse inbound ones to extract the structured XML, so reconciliation and chasing can be automated.
Why can't other agencies do this?
Because there is no API to plug into, only a file standard. Bridging it means working with the format itself, which is exactly what we do rather than telling you it is impossible.
