Unit4 and eConnect

Unit4 delivers ERP software for financial management, project management and HR, among others. The platform is used by organisations in the public sector, services and non-profit, with Unit4 Financials (formerly Coda) and Unit4 ERP as the most widely used product lines.

In the e-invoicing chain, Unit4 is the system where invoices are created, received and processed. The connection to Peppol and the invoice processing functionality are delivered by specialised partners in the ecosystem.

In 2022, the partnership between eConnect and Unit4 was formalised. eConnect delivers the e-invoicing technology for organisations working with Unit4: Peppol connection, invoice processing and hybrid cloud processing capabilities, including Scan & Recognise. In September 2025, eConnect was present at the Unit4 Event in Birmingham, underscoring the visibility of the collaboration within the international Unit4 ecosystem.

At implementation level, eConnect works together with Solmate, a specialist in financial process optimisation within Unit4 environments. Solmate handles the implementation side for end customers; eConnect provides the technology. The partner story about that collaboration is at Solmate and eConnect.

The combination of Unit4 and eConnect is visible in practice at various organisations.

Municipality of Nijmegen chose eConnect's Procurement Service Bus precisely because it could be easily connected via an API to their own Enterprise Service Bus. The technical connection was quickly operational and within two days of implementation, the municipality received its first e-invoice. Invoices flow via the ESB through to the Document Management System and subsequently to Unit4 Financials via Invoice Matching. More about this process is at Municipality of Nijmegen: e-invoicing on its own ESB architecture.

At Veiligheidsregio Limburg-Noord, the choice of Unit4 ERP played a central role. The safety region needed a solution that combined scanning and e-invoicing with the existing financial system. eConnect delivered the e-invoicing component and Scan & Recognise, while Unit4 ERP handled the processing and authorisation workflow. The customer story is at Veiligheidsregio Limburg-Noord: e-invoicing and scanning during the pandemic.

Organisations working with Unit4 Financials or Unit4 ERP that want to digitalise their invoice process will find in eConnect a partner familiar with the Unit4 stack. The approach suits both incoming invoice processing (including Scan & Recognise for PDF invoices) and outgoing invoicing via Peppol.
