Driven by a large number of very diverse and fast-evolving regulations, the adoption of e-invoicing is creating many challenges for solution providers, such as dealing with compliance requirements, cross-border issues, heterogeneity of standards and constant changes. Existing solutions do not represent a cost-effective and vendor-independent alternative to existing legacy systems, ERPs and databases. The proposed solution is based on leveraging cloud computing concepts, Software-as-a-Service concept, API economy, and Business Process Modelling (BPM) concepts. It allows solution providers to choose SaaS components and customise their offerings according to customers needs. Given an ecosystem of APIs available via a marketplace, it becomes possible to rapidly compose and build new applications via BPM technologies. The paper describes an implementation of this concept realised using several e-invoicing APIs being composed using the WASP workflow system. Some preliminary results regarding the feasibility of the proposed approach in a simple buyer-seller scenario are discussed.
