Across the world, digital transformation is often talked about.
In Asia, it’s happening—fast.
Governments are not waiting for the market to catch up.
They’re setting deadlines, building platforms, and making e-invoicing mandatory.
At ASSIST.biz, we’ve been tracking this shift closely. And today, I’m proud to share that:
ASSIST.biz is now fully e-invoicing ready in both Singapore and Malaysia.
Not as a workaround. Not as an add-on.
But as a core part of how our system works.
Why E-Invoicing Is Accelerating in Asia
Unlike in the U.S. or parts of Europe, where adoption is slow and often voluntary, Asia is leapfrogging with government-mandated standards:
- Singapore is pushing nationwide adoption of InvoiceNow (Peppol) for real-time invoice exchange.
- Malaysia is rolling out MyInvois via LHDN for structured invoice submission and compliance.
- Other economies like India, Indonesia, and Vietnam are following suit.
Why the urgency?
Because these economies want to:
- Curb tax fraud
- Streamline trade
- Empower SMEs with digital infrastructure
And they’re not waiting for legacy systems to get in the way.
What ASSIST.biz Now Supports
🇸🇬 Singapore: Peppol-Compliant with InvoiceNow
We’ve integrated directly with the Peppol e-invoicing network, which means:
- You can send and receive compliant invoices over InvoiceNow
- Our system formats and validates everything—automatically
- You stay 100% aligned with IMDA’s InvoiceNow requirements
No plugins. No manual uploads. Just forward the invoice and we handle the rest.
🇲🇾 Malaysia: MyInvois Ready from Day One
As Malaysia begins mandating MyInvois (LHDN’s structured e-invoicing system), ASSIST.biz is already ahead:
- Invoice fields mapped to MyInvois standards
- Auto-submission to the LHDN portal
- Real-time status updates and error handling
So whether you’re required to comply now or in a later phase—you’re already ready.
Our Philosophy: Build for the Future, Not Just for Compliance
We didn’t tack e-invoicing on because of deadlines.
We built it because it aligns with our core vision:
Technology should adapt to people, not the other way around.
E-invoicing isn’t just about tax. It’s about:
- Getting paid faster
- Reducing manual mistakes
- Building a real-time, compliant financial system for small businesses
That’s what ASSIST.biz stands for. And that’s what we’ll keep building toward.
What’s Next
With Singapore and Malaysia live, we’re expanding support for:
- Cross-border invoice reconciliation
- Smart tax calculation for regional GST/VAT regimes
- Compliance dashboards for finance teams and accountants
If you’re doing business in Asia, you’re entering the next era of digital trade.
And with ASSIST.biz, you’re already ahead.
Let’s build the future of work—one smart invoice at a time.
