Strengths & watch-outs
Strengths

- Strong e-invoicing compliance coupled with AP/AR automation
- French Factur-X heritage
Watch-outs
- Positioned as finance-process automation rather than a classic VAN/EDI — assess EDI breadth if multi-retailer EDI is central
- Per-country compliance details to validate case by case
