The e-invoicing portal, which is presented in the look and feel of Tommy Hilfiger's corporate website, is based upon the Anachron software-as-a-service (SAAS) platform and is set to complement the existing online self service capabilities offered by Tommy Hilfiger to its non-EDI buyers.

The long-awaited European Multi-Stakeholder Forum (EMSF) on e-Invoicing held its first meeting on 13 September 2011 in Brussels. The European Commission established the forum following its policy communication 'Reaping the benefits of electronic invoicing', from December 2010.

The Commission endorsed the recommendations of the earlier Expert Group to form National Forums and a European Forum to advocate and advise on e-Invoicing developments at the European and member-state levels. This first meeting was co-chaired by DG Enterprise and Industry and DG Internal Market, the meeting welcomed some 55 representatives to this historic occasion.
