As a result of the partnership with ELCOM, Althea is now fully compliant with EN-compliant eInvoicing capabilities. By successfully implementing technology created by ELCOM, the company is now able to receive EN-compliant invoices, translate invoices into different formats with ease, and access real-time reporting of invoices, whilst having the support of ELCOM to integrate the EN compliant eInvoicing service with their existing EVOLVE Purchase to Pay (P2P) / ERP system.

Althea UK and Ireland – an integrated healthcare technology management company has successfully completed a 19-month innovative project with ELCOM that will see EN-compliant eInvoicing technology being introduced to its customers.
The EURINV19 project is part of a major new cross-border initiative being coordinated by Universitat de València and with LMT Group as technical managers.
Funded by the European Commission, the project aims to update the electronic invoicing cloud platforms of 5 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) providers to become fully compliant with the European eInvoicing standard (EN), and further to implement these solutions in public and private entities during the project’s ‘Action’ phase.
ELCOM’s innovative spend management platform ‘EVOLVE’ has been custom-designed for healthcare and aims to reduce system fragmentation and ease collaboration within organisations. With the innovative eInvoicing solution, public and private organisations can receive e-Invoices from anywhere in the world, all while maintaining and securing compliance with regional and industry standards and regulations worldwide.
David Rolfe, Althea UK&I Chief Executive Officer, comments: “We are delighted to partner with ELCOM on the EURINV19 project and to be one of the first companies to implement new innovative invoicing solutions which are compliant to European standards. “At Althea our company ethos has always been built on unlocking the power of technology so we are delighted to be benefiting from this project as it will allow us to provide better care for our customers and streamline our invoicing processes.”
Healthcare is going through a period of unprecedented change as organisations around the world face financial constraints which has led to a relentless focus on cost reduction and process redesign. ELCOM’s pioneering spend management software aims to revolutionise organisations’ by providing a single, complete and seamlessly integrated source to pay solution – helping to save both time and money.
The technology, which is powered by AI, has been approved following a series of mandatory tests as part of the EURINV19 project.
