Ede, 29 July 2026 – 4CEE and ReflexSystems today announced a strategic partnership aimed at bringing automated invoice processing to users of Reflex 3000 and ReflexBlue. The two companies already collaborated on e-invoicing via the Peppol network; with this expansion, food companies will also be able to automatically process incoming electronic invoices, in addition to existing PDF invoice handling.
What the partnership covers
The collaboration combines ReflexSystems’ food-ERP expertise, built up since 1983, with 4CEE’s invoice automation technology. Reflex users gain access to end-to-end automated invoice processing, including AI-driven recognition, coding and validation of invoices. Organisations also get real-time visibility into the status of every invoice, linked to cost centres, projects and purchase orders, along with automatic detection of anomalies and suspicious patterns to reduce the risk of invoice fraud.
The integration builds on the existing Peppol e-invoicing connection, which already allows Reflex customers to send electronic invoices. Over the coming six months, both organisations will work jointly on the integration, with more details to follow as they become available.
What both parties say
“With this partnership we bring together the best of two worlds: ReflexSystems’ specialist food-ERP knowledge and 4CEE Invoice’s proven invoice processing technology. Reflex users can easily scale up to fully automated invoice processing and future-proof their processes,” says Dirk Rijnders, Partner Manager at 4CEE.
Soufian Ouald L’Hadj, CEO of ReflexSystems, adds: “Our customers in the food industry ask for simplicity, certainty and continuity. By fully integrating 4CEE Invoice into Reflex 3000 and ReflexBlue, they can go live faster, based on proven best practices, with fewer manual steps and a more auditable purchase-to-pay process.”
What this means for the sector
The partnership reflects a broader trend: food companies are under growing pressure to digitise in a compliant, cost-efficient and fast way, while the sector also faces specific requirements around traceability and quality assurance. By linking invoice automation to an industry-specific ERP system like Reflex, organisations don’t have to choose between their familiar way of working and modernising their financial processes. For 4CEE, this fits within its broader “Office of the CFO” strategy, which combines purchase-to-pay, order-to-cash and financial planning & analysis with ERP-level integrations and transaction networks such as Peppol.
4CEE is a Professional partner of Peppol.nu; a more detailed profile of 4CEE is available via the Peppol Service Provider comparison tool. Peppol.nu previously reported on 4CEE’s Order to Cash Monitor 2026, which found that Dutch businesses wait an average of 59 days for payment — a figure that underscores the importance of streamlined, automated invoice processing.
With this partnership, 4CEE and ReflexSystems take a next step in automated invoice processing for the food sector, with Peppol e-invoicing as the foundation for further digitising the full purchase-to-pay process.
