# No cliches
I actually come from a different industry, so I imagined a job in the IT sector to be like on TV. However, I learned on my first day that this is very far-fetched and that the clichés about developers are not at all true, although the occasional lunch break, during which people talked shop, did feel like I was on another planet. Now, after almost two years, I particularly appreciate these lunch breaks. No matter how stressful our day is and no matter how big we have grown in these two years - a lunch break together is a must. Everyone waits anxiously for the first "I'm going to Billa, anyone coming?" - and then, for a short time, work is forgotten and it's like a cozy meal among very good friends.
In the back office, our day is very varied, no day is like the other and rarely as you would have planned - but that's exactly what I enjoy most about my job. I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved in the last few years - but above all of the fact that, despite the enormous pressure to perform and the rapid growth, we've never forgotten our sense of humor and family-like way of dealing with each other.

Anna-Sophie is our Lead of the Business and Office Administration Team. Here she talks about her everyday life at fiskaly.

## My work at fiskaly
My journey with fiskaly began at the end of 2018 (at that time the company was still called Codewerkstatt). As the first full-time employee, I started with frontend development (React). Pretty soon, tasks in the backend (Node.js) were added. Things got really exciting when our work on the implementation of the German Cash Security Ordinance (<https://kassensichv.net/>) really took off. Extensive requirements had to be taken into account in product development and the products had to be evaluated and certified in certification procedures, including Common Criteria (an international standard for testing and evaluating the security features of IT products).
Since my start at fiskaly, the number of employees has multiplied and the scope of my duties has increasingly expanded and shifted to management activities regarding product development and certification. Nevertheless, I still see myself as a software developer (currently mainly in Java) and try to invest as much time as possible into that. I enjoy being part of a motivated, multicultural team that overcomes challenges together, practices high quality as well as agile software development, and tries to improve constantly.

Christoph joined fiskaly in the early days before it was founded. Even though he has taken on management tasks as technical product owner, he feels like he is still a developer in his heart with a passion for coding.

Products for fiscalization can be operated in two possible ways: Via the Internet in a cloud or by additional hardware at the cash register. Modern POS systems often rely on cloud-based fiscalization products. Fiscalization in the cloud offers a number of advantages over hardware based ones.

### 1. Fast and Cost-Effective Integration
The integration of cloud-based fiscalization products - as products from the fiskaly SIGN family - into POS systems is fast and cost-effective, as the required data is largely exchanged automatically via interfaces. This means that new legal requirements or new functions can also be integrated easily and seamlessly. Likewise, switching to another POS provider is unproblematic, as the cloud-based software can be easily adapted.

### 2. Updates via Software Update
With fiskaly SIGN, updates are automatic and therefore cost-effective. The updates are installed on the software side. The users do not have any tedious extra work.

### 3. Flexibility and Fast Scaling
The use of fiskaly SIGN enables high flexibility in terms of the number of fiscal security units deployed. In addition, the number of connected cash registers and the number of transactions can be scaled quickly.

### 4. Independence from Hardware Components
fiskaly SIGN does not require local hardware installations in the form of an SD card, USB sticks or TPM module at the POS. This eliminates the need for on-site installations and the associated costs and time (for example, the deployment of a technician). This is important in the long run because hardware fiscalization products have a certificate lifetime, after which the hardware must be replaced. With no hardware components, there is no maintenance and nothing can get broken or lost.

### 5. Transparent Costs
fiskaly SIGN can be deployed cost-effectively, making them cheap for customers to buy and operate. There are never additional costs due to hardware failures. fiskaly SIGN doesn't have hidden costs, so it is transparent in its costs and cost-effective in the long run.

### 6. Highest Data Security
By law, the data from Germany must be stored in Germany. fiskaly meets all legal requirements for every country.

## 7. Security & Flexibility through Contactless Delivery
fiskaly SIGN. is cloud-based, so it can be delivered securely and contactlessly to taxpayers. This provides maximum flexibility in the delivery, as it can be made at any time — even in lockdown.

### 8. Easy Monitoring & Compatibility with Other Service Providers
fiskaly SIGN is compatible with all modern systems because it works with APIs. Archiving systems, accounting programs and other tools can be connected to your system in just a few steps without affecting the POS system. Central monitoring allows all TSS etc. and their activities to be tracked at a glance, even across multiple business locations.

### 9. Easy Data Management & Data Export
In the event of a cash register inspection, the data can be made available to the auditor quickly and easily by means of export. Via the dashboard, you always have your data available and can manage it with little effort.

### 10. Suitable for Mobile POS Devices like Tablet Cash Registers
With modern tablet cash registers, hardware fiscalization products are very complex or even impossible to implement. With fiskaly SIGN, you can still use your mobile devices like tablets and smartphones with ease.

### What to Consider Before Deploying Hardware Fiscalization Products
Hardware fiscalization products create the signature and store the information on site. To ensure tamper protection, the hardware has a certificate life (5 to 7 years). After the certificate expires, the hardware must be replaced. Hardware products are high-maintenance, costly and time-consuming. They are also difficult to scale because hardware is required per each POS system or per network.

Nissen & Velten: fiskaly's flexible fiscalization solution

## How fiskaly and SIGN DE support the end customers of the speedy POS system from mtMax with fiscalization and makes it easy.

Initially, speedy provided its customers with a hardware fiscalization solution. Due to a major customer's incompatibility with mobile POS devices, a suitable Cloud TSS had to be found. Flexibility for mobile POS devices and the ability to offer a seasonal billing model were particularly important in the selection process.

## About speedy

speedy - the smart POS - is suitable for all industries and is compatible with all Android devices. Trouble-free on-site use and work-supporting cloud systems characterize the POS system. speedy can be used stationary or mobile, online or offline, as a single cash register, or in a network. Because all legal requirements are met, you can face a cash register audit with peace of mind. Over 8,000 speedy POS systems are already in use.

> Originally, we had decided to implement the fiscalization of our POS system with hardware TSS. However, the hardware solution was not feasible for one of our large customers with mobile devices, so we needed to find a cloud-based TSS that could integrate with our system and be compatible with our customer's POS devices. That's why we chose fiskaly.

*Dr. Thomas Wengenroth, speedy Managing Director*

## The Challenge

The requirements of a large speedy customer could not be met using the hardware TSS offered as standard with speedy. A large number of mobile POS devices for street vending stands had to be fiscalized in compliance with KassenSichV. When selecting the provider, flexibility for the location of use, hardware of the POS devices, and a seasonal billing model were essential criteria.

## The requirements of speedy

* Legally compliant, cloud-based TSS for mobile devices
* Seasonal billing model
* Fiscalization solution for Android, especially Android 11 & 12
* Easy handling of the rollout

## The solution

fiskaly SIGN DE could be integrated into speedy's system quickly and is also suitable for input devices with Android 11 & 12 that are not micro-SD card capable. Thus, SIGN DE covered the fiscalization requirements of all customers. speedy can offer its customers a seasonal billing model due to the individual billing with fiskaly. In addition, time and resources are saved in speedy support due to the simple one-click rollout. fiskaly SIGN DE is ideally suited for POS systems requiring a high-flexibility fiscalization solution.

> We were pleasantly surprised at how quickly the fiskaly Cloud TSS could be integrated into our system. Using fiskaly is very easy and can be well integrated into our licensing model. Meanwhile, we recommend that our customers implement fiscalization with fiskaly, as the solution is easy and convenient for our customers. In addition, we buy back hardware TSSs when customers want to switch to Cloud TSS.

*Dr. Thomas Wengenroth, speedy Managing Director*

## The steps to fiscalization with fiskaly SIGN DE.

1. Evaluation of the solution by researching the freely available API docu and guides
2. Free testing of the SIGN DE API with fiskaly Dashboard and Postman Collection & Environment
3. Implementation of the SIGN DE API in parallel with contract negotiation and signature
4. Go-live and start of the automated rollout

## The results

* The customer base of speedy could be increased with fiskaly SIGN DE.
* speedy reached the agreed annual target of POS equipped with SIGN DE within 2 months.

In the Basque Country in Spain, a compliance law - called TicketBAI (Basque for "Ticket YES") - was passed to prevent tax fraud. Each Basque Province - Gipuzkoa, Araba, and Bizkaia - has established specific software requirements for TicketBAI. In this article, we list the similarities and differences between the provinces.

## What applies in all provinces?

All invoicing systems have to be compliant with TicketBAI. This means the billing or POS systems must be equipped with software that:

1. is registered in the Provincial Software Registration List.
2. chains the invoices so that their trace can be verified in a sequence, preventing manipulation, alteration, or deletion.
3. creates XML files for each transaction, signs them with a valid digital certificate, and sends them to the corresponding Tax Authority.
4. stores all the XML files during the established period of time.
5. generates a QR code and an Identification code which must be printed on the invoice. 

## What are the differences between the provinces?

The differences in compliance with TicketBAI in each Basque province are as follows:

1. Each province has its own Tax Authority to send the files to, depending on where the taxpayer is registered.
2. The content of the XML file may differ slightly between the provinces.
3. In Bizkaia, TicketBAI is part of a more comprehensive strategy called Batuz. 
4. There are differences between the provinces regarding TicketBAI replacing the SII system or not.
5. Implementation deadlines differ.

In the Basque Country in Spain, a compliance law - called TicketBAI - was passed to prevent tax fraud. Each Basque Province - Gipuzkoa, Araba, and Bizkaia - has established specific software requirements for TicketBAI. In this article, we list the similarities and differences between the provinces.

TicketBAI is a software-based fiscalization system in Basque Country. Here you can find answers to the most frequently asked questions about TBAI in detail.

FAQs about TicketBAI

A Basque Country legislative initiative aims to prevent tax fraud by complying with the TicketBAI obligation. In Bizkaia, TicketBAI is part of the BATUZ economic activity control strategy. The obligation for compliance with this system has been established by the Foral Decree 5/2020, of July 15th. Here you will learn more about TicketBAI's implementation in Bizkaia.

## Requirements in Bizkaia

The TicketBAI software in the billing or POS system must generate XML files for each transaction and sign them with a digital certificate. It also provides a QR code and ID code to print on the invoice. The invoices are chained by the software into a sequence so their trace can be verified in a sequence and the XML files are stored for an established period of time.

### XML Files differ in Bizkaia

The content of the XML files in Bizkaia slightly differs from the content in the other two provinces. For instance, sending the details of each line or the recipient's address is not mandatory.

### LROE

Besides implementing TicketBAI, taxpayers in Bizkaia will have to send the LROE books (Book of economic operation registries) to Bizkaia's Provincial Council. The TicketBAI XML files are included within the LROE books. The LROE books must be sent every trimester before April 25th, July 25th, October 25th, and January 31st, depending on when the transactions occurred.

## SII obligations in Bizkaia

In Bizkaia, TicketBAI and LROE replaces the SII. However, those companies already compliant with the SII system will have to keep sending their registries every four days (or according to SII deadlines).

## BATUZ with TicketBAI deadlines in Bizkaia

BATUZ and TicketBAI are initially implemented on a voluntary basis in Bizkaia before becoming mandatory for all activities at the same time. Here you find the deadlines:

**01/01/2022:** Voluntary period starts.

**01/01/2024:** Mandatory period starts for all economic activities.

The compliance law TicketBAI was also introduced in the Province of Araba. In this blog post you will learn the details about the implementation of TicketBAI in Araba. TicketBAI compliance is established in Araba by the Foral Decree 48/2021, of October 5th, and aims to prevent tax tampering.

## Requirements in Araba

Software in the billing or point-of-sale system must generate XML files for each transaction, sign them with a digital certificate, and send them to Araba’s Provincial Council. The software must also provide a QR code and ID code to be printed on the invoice. Further, the software chains invoices into a sequence so their trace can be verified in a sequence and stores their XML files for an established period of time.

## SII obligations in Araba

TicketBAI affects those who are currently obliged to SII compliance. In Álava, TicketBAI does not exempt the taxpayer from SII obligations. TicketBAI is sending the information according to the “Issued Invoices” book. You do not need to submit the same information twice to the tax authority - only the additional books.

## TicketBAI deadlines in Araba

In Gipuzkoa, TicketBAI is initially implemented on a voluntary basis and then on a mandatory basis. In several stages, the mandatory implementation will take place. We have listed the implementation deadlines here.

**01/01/2022:** Voluntary period starts.

**01/04/2022:** Mandatory period starts for consultancies that collaborate with Araba’s Provincial Council

**01/07/2022:** Mandatory period starts for retail sales of medicines, sanitary and personal hygiene products, and professional activities (including but not limited to telecommunications, agricultural and livestock services, transportation services, hospitality sector, and financial services)

**01/12/2022:** Mandatory period starts for the remaining taxpayers.

Digitization is essential to stay competitive in the market. One aspect that is becoming increasingly important is digital receipts. These create added value for companies and their customers, optimize business processes, and are environmentally friendly. But what exactly are digital receipts?

## Today’s solution

At first glance, a digital receipt is basically the digital, legally compliant version of a sales slip. The structure and purpose are the same as the printed version. The difference is the output to the consumer: Transmission is possible via common media, such as scanning a QR code, NFC, and via e-mail or SMS.

In order to be a fully-fledged alternative to the paper sales slip, the digital receipt must fulfill all legal requirements and provide the necessary information. The design of the electronic sales slip is often based on the layout of its printed version and contains: 

* a header that shows information about the issuing company, document number, and date & time of the transaction.
* a list or table of items and the corresponding details of price, quantity, description, and discounts.
* a section containing all the information necessary, according to country-specific fiscalization, to constitute a full-fledged receipt.

Depending on the type of receipt, additional information may be required. For example: hospitality sales slips need more information in detail. Respectively, sales slips can also be customized to include promotions or coupons for the customer. 

## **Why should a digital receipt be preferred over the classic form?** 

At second glance, advantages that are both practical and forward-looking are revealed:

* No environmentally harmful substances: the use of digital cash register receipts saves thermal paper and ink, which are used every time paper sales slips are printed.
* Fast receipt transfer process: QR code transfer is currently one of the fastest ways to issue a sales slip.
* Excellent customer touch point: the potential advertising and info space on an electronic receipt is a great way to engage customers after the transaction and extend their user experience.

## Tomorrow's solution

The digital receipt is on the rise because it holds a lot of potential.

Many opportunities arise from storing digital receipts as interactive PDFs. For example, further links to product information, warranties, or social media channels extend the customer journey and improve the customer experience.

Another way to increase customer satisfaction is to link receipt issuance with apps in which customers can save their digital receipts. This allows sales slips to be stored and found indefinitely. No fading of the ink, no loss of paper receipts, and no worrying about a warranty or other claims that are bound to a sales slip and could get lost.

An additional aspect is the various marketing opportunities that can be integrated into a digital receipt. They create added value for both the customer and the business after the transaction through additional recommendations or advertising.

## fiskaly receipt - The solution for everyone

The digital receipt from fiskaly is more than just a digitized paper receipt. It convinces with the fulfillment of all legal requirements and offers additional advantages for cash register manufacturers as well as merchants and end customers:

* Fast integration of the fiskaly receipt into the merchant's POS system through a well-documented API.
* Individually adaptable design.
* Time-saving through QR code receipt transfer.

![fiskaly Electronic Receipt QR code](/img/scan-your-digital-receipt-en.png)

Digitization is essential to stay competitive in the market. One aspect that is becoming increasingly important is digital receipts.

One of the most frequently asked questions about the digital receipt is, "How does the receipt get on my device?" Issuing receipts by e-mail or SMS is one of the standard transmission methods. However, transmission via QR code is much more convenient and faster for consumers and merchants. Therefore, we distinguish between the two options of static and dynamic QR codes.

## QR code: Dynamic & Fast

The dynamic QR code is shown to the customer directly on the display of the POS device after payment. The customer scans it with the help of their smartphone and gets the receipt displayed directly in the device's browser. The dynamic QR code is individual for each transaction. It is regenerated and displayed each time after the payment is completed. A dynamic QR code's information can be changed as often as needed, even after it is created.

### **Pros & Cons**

* Pros: Simplified process for transactions for both merchant and consumer. Faster in completing the process.
* Cons: Requires a display to show the QR code. Possibility of other customers (unintentionally) scanning the QR code as well.

## QR Code: Static & Location Independent

A static QR code has a URL embedded in the code that cannot be changed once it is created. The process of issuing a digital receipt with a static QR code works like this:

### **Before payment**

1. When the QR code is scanned, the embedded URL takes the customer to a website where an automatically generated numeral code is displayed.
2. The merchant scans the code or enters it manually into the POS system and transfers it to the system when the digital receipt is created.

### **After payment**

3. Once the digital receipt is generated, the website is updated on the customer's device, and the digital receipt is displayed.

### **Pros & cons:**

* Advantages: No electronic display is needed at the checkout to show the QR code. Instead, the static QR code can be presented to the customer as a table display, sticker, or badge. Thus, there is no contradiction in the compatibility of electronic receipts when used with cash registers that only have one display. Furthermore, delivery via the static QR code guarantees unambiguous transmission to the target customer, eliminating the need for data protection and security questions. 
* Disadvantages: The scanning process with a static QR code on site is more complicated and takes longer than with a dynamic QR code (for merchants and consumers).

## Examples of good practice

In the hospitality industry, everything has to happen fast. During the payment request & process, guests quickly become impatient. This is where dynamic QR codes come in handy to speed up the process even more.

In the consumer goods sector, customers take more time to select the right product or to get advice. In many outlets (depending on size and turnover), stationary cash registers, which do not have an electronic display oriented toward the customer, are predominantly used. Static QR codes are a practical alternative to offer customers digital receipts.

To get started with digital receipts in an uncomplicated way, we recommend the option of dynamic QR codes. With the right equipment, dynamic QR codes enable quick and easy transactions. If the investment is an important parameter in the realization, static QR codes are an excellent alternative, as they can be guaranteed without the need to purchase new hardware.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one? [with Examples]

Static or dynamic QR code - we have the answer

### Hi, Stefan, tell me about yourself.

Hi, I am Stefan, originally from Salzburg, Austria. My professional background is quite diverse. I studied chemistry, then moved on to drug discovery and development, and while working at fiskaly, I got a PhD in pharmaceutical chemistry with a focus on chemo-informatics and algorithm development. This links me back to fiskaly and my background in software development and engineering. 

### How did you start at fiskaly?

Having established analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, I started at fiskaly initially as a software developer, helping out with automation for billing and analytics. 

### Tell us about something that most people do not know about you.

The fact that most people do not know about me is that I really like 🫑green paprika🫑. Although I tried red and yellow paprika too, I especially enjoy green paprika. 

### What are your passions outside work? 

I really enjoy anything science-related, like neuroscience, mathematics, and physics. On the other side of the spectrum are topics like nutrition and sports science. This combines well with my other hobby, doing sports. I am particularly fond of rock climbing, CrossFit and everything that comes with resistance training. 

All my interests are quite interconnected, as neuroscience, physics, and also nutritional science can be used to optimize sports results. I also track my own health, performance statistics and nutritional values. Since I really enjoy data analytics, this connects very well. 

### What are you currently working on?

I am the Product Manager for the digital receipt. I figure out 

**»** where the product should go; 

**»** which features should be developed next; 

**»** what the target group is and who the target customers are.

That is currently one of the biggest challenges. We have multiple target groups, which we already know well from the fiscalization business. POS vendors are currently our main focus. By building the product for them, we can together deliver value to merchants and consumers.

At the same time, we need to consider the merchant and the consumer. They, in the end, will enjoy many of the advantages of the digital receipt. So it's always a bit of a struggle to figure out which direction is the best to take at any given moment. 

We work with hypotheses and assumptions, then test and validate them with our customers. Based on their feedback and their interaction with the product, we continue developing the best product for our customers’ needs. All in all, my team builds a digital receipt product to enjoy, use and love. 

### How can you explain to your granny what a fiskaly receipt is?

fiskaly receipt is our solution for providing digital receipts. Simply speaking, it replaces a printed receipt when you buy anything in a store. Digital receipts can easily be stored, organized, and found again via your phone.

![Digital receipt as an experience](/img/quote-for-blog-stefan-1.png)

A receipt right now is just a paper slip. With a digital receipt, it becomes an experience. An ecosystem that includes the merchant, the consumer, and external partners and services that all add value to the user.

### And what advantages can a customer enjoy while using a digital receipt?

There are quite a bunch. Of course, there is the environmental aspect, which each and everyone of us can directly impact by using digital receipts. Then there are the extensions with your bank account, where a receipt is delivered directly to your bank account and attached to a transaction, right after you scan a QR code. You no longer have to worry about losing a paper receipt or its paint blurring out. Digital receipts are the new standard that brings order and convenience to our lives.

### What is so unique about fiskaly receipt?

What makes the fiskaly receipt unique is our focus on building an ecosystem of players impacting the user’s journey. I think the digital receipt is more than just a PDF. It’s about the seamless experience the user gets when shopping at a merchant who issues the fiskaly receipt. 

We do this by focusing on building a product for and with the POS vendors, and bringing it together with them as partners to the market. By getting in contact with many of the POS vendors and understanding their needs, we have a strong partner to roll out the fiskaly receipt across Europe.

Rolling out the receipt across Europe is a big goal for us, which has a strong impact on the design of our product. POS vendors should not be forced to integrate multiple services, one for each country. Rather we would like them to integrate fiskaly once, and then we grow together and expand across Europe without additional effort or development. 

From there on we are building our partner network that can be used together with the fiskaly receipt. A simple example, and in my opinion an amazing use-case, is partnerships with banks. This enables the delivery of the fiskaly receipt directly in your banking app, attached to the transaction. Thereby, you have the receipt available at all times in the exact location where you would intuitively look for it. 

Finally, we already gathered a lot of experience with our fiscalization business. All of the knowledge and insights we gained there were bundled into the fiskaly receipt, to build a highly scalable and flexible system, which can handle thousands of receipts created per second. 

### What are your learnings while working at fiskaly?

When I studied for my PhD, I visited a few conferences. My professors always told me that I should be super careful not to share my ideas with colleagues as they can snatch them and publish my ideas as theirs. Back then, I kind of accepted it. 

Then I came to fiskaly and experienced a really cooperative culture of sharing ideas and knowledge, and no backstabbing at all, which I really enjoy.

### What is challenging for you at fiskaly?

Before fiskaly, I was very much used to working alone and just figuring out solutions to problems on my own. I changed this approach to sharing ideas and discussing issues with my team in search of the best solution. I really enjoy working in a team, having people who I can rely on, and brainstorming together to come up with the best solution in the end. 

Another challenge for me is to step back from active product development, programming, which I was used to, and start communicating more. I leave programming to our experts and focus on figuring out the users’ needs and which problems we are solving. Along with that, effective communication, in and with the team, is vital. Sharing the product vision, sharing user insights, and sharing the direction we are heading in, is a new challenge that I’m really excited to tackle.

### How can you describe fiskaly’s culture?

There are three things that come to my mind. The first associations are  ‘open’ and ‘friendly’. We have this family-like culture. Every day I am super happy to come to work. I really enjoy working here with all my colleagues. 

![fiskaly's great culture, great products](/img/quote-for-blog-stefan-2.png)

But it’s not only about a great place to work. I am also proud to say that I'm working at fiskaly as I believe that the company builds great products in addition to having a great culture.

The 3rd one is an opportunity to learn and grow. I like a good challenge and what I really enjoy in our working process is that we know the “why” and the “where”, but sometimes we don’t know the “how”. We have to figure this out on the go, be agile, come up with unique solutions, and always consider the user’s response to continue improving and doing the best we can. We are not facing obstacles or problems, we are encountering learning opportunities.

### What advice do you have for someone in your field, applying for a job at fiskaly?

If you are an ambitious responsible person, there are definitely plenty of opportunities for you at fiskaly. We always look for people who are proactive and motivated. These people are given great opportunities here. All in all, if you are willing to work in a great culture with a lot of challenging tasks, there is plenty of room for you to grow at fiskaly.

Stefan Kohlbacher, fiskaly digital receipt Product Manager, tells us about the current challenges with digital receipts and what makes working at fiskaly so special.

How to explain digital receipts to your granny & why green paprika is the best

After completing a transaction, receipts are issued to the buyer as a confirmation, overview, and warranty document. In many countries, the so-called receipt or voucher issuance is mandatory. Individual use cases of digital receipts create a clear picture of the benefits for companies and consumers.

## Sophisticated retail

### **Proper branding**

 Imagine buying a shirt for 500€ and receiving a cluttered or unaesthetically designed receipt. This subtle customer touch point most likely distorts or even damages your image of this premium brand. Individual branding of the receipt should never be underestimated. A uniformly designed brand experience, right down to the smallest detail, pays dividends in terms of positive consumer perception. And it does so in all segments - not just the luxury one.

![paper and fiskaly digital receipt comparison](/img/receipt-comparison.png)

### **Dynamic advertising**

Consumers find either no product advertising/promotions or outdated ones on traditional paper receipts. It is possible to fill advertising spaces with dynamic content and show customized advertising to the consumer on digital receipts.
For example, an old receipt can contain up-to-date advertising even after several years.

![fiskaly electronic receipt dynamic ads](/img/fiskaly-digital-receipt-dynamic-advertising.png)

### **Online marketing in offline stores**

Integrating additional advertising space is no problem on digital receipts. Think of online retail, which has been using the purchase recommendation option as a successful model for years. Especially outside the area of fast-moving products, such as fashion or consumer goods, receipts are more carefully stored for warranty or a return of the product, this option can be used profitably. Why not recommend a matching beanie when someone buys a winter jacket?

![fiskaly digital receipt online marketing](/img/fiskaly-electronic-receipt-online-marketing.png)

## Impatient hospitality industry

### **Accelerated receipt issuance**

There is often only one cash register for the entire establishment at many hospitality venues. Although mobile devices are used for staff receipting, the only existing cash register must often be used for receipt issuance. This leads to unnecessary additional ways for the waiter/waitress and longer waiting times for guests.
Issuing receipts directly via the mobile device's display using a QR code simplifies the process for the waiter/waitress, and improves the customer experience significantly.

## Gas stations, vending machines, & Co.

### **Shortened payment path**

In Germany, the percentage of company cars among all registered cars is consistently around 10%, roughly 5.15 million cars. Those vehicle owners know how tedious the administration of paper receipts for the additional refueling fees are. Issuing a digital receipt - preferably right at the gas station - with a direct forwarding to the accounting software (or app) creates efficiency for several parties in the company at once.

## Other services

### **No waiting**

Have you ever waited like forever in a cab for a printed receipt? Sometimes the receipt printing takes as long as a third of the ride itself. Digital receipts provide a remedy in this case. QR codes can be made available in every cab and significantly speed up the receipt issuance process. Also in this case the receipt can be automatically forwarded to the linked accounting department upon receiving the receipt. 

### **Mobile services**

Many services, such as massages or physiotherapy treatments, can be consumed at home. But how is the receipt issued afterward? Like in a cab, the consumer must wait a long time for the receipt to be printed out. Not with digital receipts! In this application, the service provider can also offer a QR code that simplifies and speeds up the issuing process.

Dynamic advertising, proper branding, online marketing, secure, environmentally friendly. These are just some advantages of digital receipt for your business.

Various use cases of the digital receipt

The digital receipt is a modern and environmentally friendly solution to the obligation to issue receipts, which has been mandatory since the Kassensicherungsverordnung came into force. [Junge Gründer](https://www.junge-gruender.de/) gave us the opportunity for an interview and to present our [eReceipt](https://receipt.fiskaly.com/en).

Many thanks for this opportunity and the interesting interview!
(Unfortunately, the interview is no longer available on the website of Junge Gründer.)

fiskaly Interview with Junge Gründer: The future of the digital receipt

Digital receipts - The future is today

digital-receipts-the-future-is-today

French authorities initially scheduled the so-called anti-waste law (Law No. 2020-105 of 10 February 2020 or “Loi anti-gaspillage”) on the control of waste and the circular economy concerning the end of automatic receipt printing in France for 1 January 2023.

The intent behind the legislation is to reduce waste in different areas and inform consumers. Part of this aim is to avoid dangerous substances in receipts and to minimize the significant accumulation of waste through paper receipts, with approx. 30 billion receipts being printed each year.

The deadline for the implementation of the law was now extended until 1 April 2023 in order to allow the POS providers more time to update their software functionality with a digital receipt option.

Starting April 1, merchants will only have to provide printed receipts when asked explicitly by the customer.

## The paper receipt will be replaced by e-ticket solutions that are sent to the buyer

* by QR code (allows the e-ticket to be retrieved from a web page)
* by message in the buyer's banking application (using the bank card sends the e-ticket automatically to the application)
* by SMS
* by e-mail

## These changes primarily concern

* cash register receipts produced in sales areas and in establishments open to the public
* tickets issued by vending machines
* bank card tickets
* vouchers and promotional or discount tickets.

## Why not turning requirements into a business benefit?

#### **Easy integration**

Our digital receipt solution can be integrated seamlessly via API in less than one day and fulfills country-specific receipt issuance requirements.

#### **Cost-friendly alternative**

In addition to being sustainable with about 95% of printed receipts ending up as direct waste, paperless receipts are also a cost-friendly option and save valuable resources such as hardware, paper and time.

#### **Marketing opportunities**

The digital receipt can act as a barrier-free online promotion tool for your business and is especially beneficial for smaller businesses and offline outlets with limited advertising budget.

#### **Easy customization**

The receipt can be customized to fit any business identity and provide customers with the best experience.

#### **Delivery via QR code**

Customers receive their digital receipt immediately by scanning a QR code at the POS.

With fiskaly receipt, it’s easy to upgrade your POS systems and seamlessly transition from paper to electronic receipts.  Find out more about our [digital receipt solution](https://www.fiskaly.com/digital-receipt).

fiskaly expands to Spain and now offers another fiskal solution: SIGN ES. In the first step, SIGN ES can be integrated for the Basque Country. The corresponding legislature - TicketBAI - is currently in the implementation phase.

### Complex requirements in Spain
No uniform fiscal legislation is planned for Spain. Cash providers and taxpayers are thus faced with the challenge of finding out about the individual steps that need to be taken. With experience in fiscalization products in several countries, fiskaly is the right partner on your side. Also in Spain: SIGN ES is an API that handles two fiscalization legislations.

### Veri*factu from 2024
The requirements imposed by the Veri*factu law planned for 2024, which covers the remaining regions of Spain, will also be integrated into the SIGN ES fiscalization solution.

### Digital receipts also in Spain
The [digital receipt from fiskaly](https://receipt.fiskaly.com/en) completes the package for the expansion to Spain. The trend towards paperless receipts is also very popular in Spain and can be implemented effortlessly with fiskaly.

>Our team is ready for the new location. We are looking forward to the first non-German-speaking country with new influences and an exciting culture.

*Johannes Ferner, CEO*

### Presentation at EuroShop 2023

Here at fiskaly #peoplecomefirst. The way fiskaly's leadership deals with employees makes us feel secure and appreciated even in challenging times. CEO Johannes Ferner, COO Simon Tragatschnig and CTO Patrick Gaubatz, decided to financially support the employees.

### Fighting inflation

CEO Johannes Ferner correctly stated, "The inflation rate continued to rise in July and is now at 9.3% - we are all clearly feeling these effects."

For this reason, the leadership team decided to compensate for the inflation for all employees through voluntary additional payments on top of the regular salary. A budget of 100,000 euros was set for this purpose, which will be used for fiskaly staff to tackle the immediate challenges until the end of the year.

### Well-being = company success

Our leadership team agrees that the company’s success depends directly on our well-being. Our team appreciates this simple but effective measure.

### Further support

It is unclear how the situation in Austria will develop in the coming months, but the trend does not indicate that inflation will decrease. This leaves the further course of action of the leadership open, but the development of the situation will continue to be monitored. CEO Johannes Ferner does not rule out further financial support.

My opinion as a fiskaly employee: Great measure, great employer!

Find out how fiskaly's leadership reacts to the high inflation rate in Austria and helps their employees in challenging times.

hokona GmbH and fiskaly GmbH have entered into a partnership that holds a lot of potential and has fruitful prospects for the future. The first success was already recorded after a short time: The development of a cloud fiscalization system for SAP Customer Checkout by hokona - the [TSE4CLOUD](https://www.hokona.de/allianzen/fiskaly-cloud-tse-sap-customer-checkout/tse4cloud-sicht-des-cco-partners/). Find out what SAP Customer Checkout actually is, how fiskaly's cloud solution works and why these two are a perfect match in this blog.
## hokona's SAP Customer Checkout
[SAP Customer Checkout](https://www.hokona.de/idee/) is a 100% SAP product based on an API (Application Programming Interface). This product from hokona represents a device-independent checkout system. This means that it can be fully functionally integrated on both terminals and tablets.
The big advantage for any customer is that they can develop plugins in the backend through the open API, allowing them to customize the SAP Customer Checkout interface at any time. In addition, hokona offers quick-start support for integration, rollout, training and customizing of the product. hokona's development team works cyclically in the background to develop new products and features, creating further benefits for customers.
The extensive product portfolio and strong support from hokona provide an excellent overview and transparency of the product and complete SAP Customer Checkout.
## fiskaly's Cloud TSS - on cloud 7
The [fiskaly SIGN products](/solutions) form the only, true cloud TSS solutions for the fiscalization of transactions of a POS system on the market. Certified in Germany until 2029 and 100% compliant with the law.
The big advantage of this solution is that merchants can purchase the TSSs via a monthly rental model - without any hardware at all. Another major advantage over a hardware solution is the reduced effort for the customer, as updates and certificate term extensions of the cloud TSSs run in the background and the customer is unaware of them. In the case of hardware TSSs, the hardware components have to be replaced after certain periods (3, 5 or a maximum of 7 years) or in the case of updates, which involves a great deal of effort and expense for the customer. In addition, the support of the cloud application is not the responsibility of the customer's own IT department but of the provider of such a cloud solution, in this case fiskaly, which further reduces the customer's effort.
**Details for technicians**
The Electronic Recording System (ERS) communicates with the TSS via the embedding interface (Secure Element API, SE-API) specified in [BSI TR-03151 and BSI TR-03151-AMT](https://www.bsi.bund.de/DE/Themen/Unternehmen-und-Organisationen/Standards-und-Zertifizierung/Technische-Richtlinien/TR-nach-Thema-sortiert/tr03151/tr03151_node.html) using a TLS connection. The SE-API is integrated into the SMAERS. The embedding interface is accessed via a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) based API. An RPC request is sent to an http endpoint of the embedding interface, which responds with an RPC response. The binding interface acts as a server here. The data of a request and a response are sent as protocol buffers.
The argument of a network failure is not a problem in the case of a cloud TSS. The legislator explicitly allows the electronic input system (cash register) to continue operating even if the technical security equipment is disrupted by a network failure. The checkout process continues and the receipt must contain the information about the TSS failure.
Detailed information can be found here 👉 [fiskaly's cloud solution](/signde)
## Interaction of the solutions - TSE4CLOUD
The new concept "TSE4CLOUD" developed by hokona and fiskaly combines hokona's SAP Customer Checkout POS system with the fiskaly SIGN DE product. In this way, the two IT expert companies create an all-round package for checkouts with fast integration, strong support, a know-how base and optimal legal compliance.
Simplified, the process of the concept runs as follows:
1. The transaction data created on the SAP Customer Checkout is communicated in encrypted form to fiskaly's cloud TSS. 2. In the second step, the security device signs the individual products and the receipt. 3. In the final step, the TSS sends the signed transaction back to the POS system.
The customer doesn't notice anything, gets the signed receipt in the shortest time and could enjoy the benefits and design of SAP Customer Checkout.
TSE4CLOUD is always up to date, is rented monthly and the contract runs as long as the retailer needs it. The requirements of the cash register security regulation ([KassenSichV](https://kassensichv.net/fiskademy)) are fulfilled by TSE4CLOUD.
You can also find a visual description in the new video from hokona on their website 👉 [TSE4CLOUD in a nutshell](https://www.hokona.de/hokona-tse4cloud-sap-cco/)

# fiskaly is like family
fiskaly is like family to me; that much was obvious to me very quickly, after the first job interview, which was pleasant and relaxed. Fun and work have never been combined as beautifully as here!
Especially in a startup, there are not always clear tracks to follow for every topic and every challenge, but that's what makes it so appealing to me. To find your own paths, to acquire knowledge yourself, to discuss things in a team, to move forward in a team. For me, team is an essential concept in my professional life, which I want to embrace in order to develop, and fiskaly provides the right conditions for this.
After more than two years I can say that we as fiskaly have found and grown many talents, mastered a lot of challenges in an agile and skillful way, and a lot of laughter and discussions have made us a team.
I am happy to be part of fiskaly and look forward to the future!

I love to work for fiskaly because fun and work go hand in hand everyday. What appeals to me most, is the constant opportunity to challenge myself and learn new things.

At fiskaly #peoplecomefirst. We want to introduce you to these people we care about. They are our most significant driving force for success. We start with Benjamin Falk, our technical product owner of the DSFinV-K product.

Find out who we are and why our colleagues enjoy working at fiskaly.

### Tell me about your background. 

I am originally from Austria but I traveled a bit around the world before I ended up back in Vienna. Programming was already a topic for me when I was a little kid. Nevertheless, it was the combination of graphics and programming that really caught my attention, which brought me to study graphic design. However, over the years it all shifted to only programming.

### What is something most people do not know about you?

I was living in Africa for a year. It was quite an interesting experience getting to know cultures of different African countries. It was interesting to become acquainted with the mentality and lifestyles of the locals. It was a very eye-opening but also challenging experience.

### What are the words that come to your mind when thinking about fiskaly’s culture? 

* Open-minded - if you see the need for something new, which would solve a problem, you are free to implement it. Whenever I feel I want to try something different, something new, I am allowed to do so.

For example, we needed to experiment with the way we publish our software. One idea was to use a new tool which I tested for a couple of weeks. I got the support and time to set it up. This is an example of how we set up our production environment.

*  Family - we are like a big family. The atmosphere here is in general very open and familiar. The interpersonal relations are very nice as well. If anyone has a downer in life or a high moment, there are people with whom to share these things and who really listen.

### What is your favorite part about working at fiskaly?

What i like most is having the chance to grow. It's sometimes challenging, yet there are many opportunities to develop your skills and yourself. 

For this, I have tons of examples. I started at fiskaly as a front-end developer. Meaning, I got very specific tasks. At some point, the company needed more. I was not familiar with the tools we were using. Kubernetes for example. So I had a very steep learning curve in the beginning. And after some time, it has become very rewarding as you can extend your skills quite a bit.

What I am doing now is something completely different from what I did at the beginning of my career. Every day has a new opportunity to learn new things which helps us improve our products. High availability of our products is challenging but at the same time an interesting task.

### What is your most remarkable/unforgettable fail? What have you learned from it?

When working at fiskaly? Well, breaking one of our software products, bringing all our customers to a full stop basically, and fixing it within a day. That was quite stressful.

Instead of blaming me for breaking the product, together with 3 or 4 of my colleagues, we brainstormed, thought about the possible solutions, and fixed it together within a day.

### What advice do you have for someone in your field, applying for a job at fiskaly?

Having skills is not everything. Wanting to understand things deeper helps a lot.

At fiskaly #peoplecomefirst. We prepared an interview with Benjamin Falk, our Technical Product Owner of the DSFinV-K product, to introduce you to one of those awesome people.

The cooperation between fiskaly and [snap](https://www.snapconsult.com/) resulted in a special solution for SAP ERP and S/4HANA, which enables a fully integrated implementation of a Cloud TSS.

The ABAP-based TSS can be integrated into existing SAP POS cash sales processes either by itself or by an “all-around carefree package”.

The solution also enables optimization at the POS: payment terminals such as Hobex, Six, or Card Complete can be integrated directly into the SAP or S/4HANA system!
