E-invoicing in accordance with the DICO Standard.
Improve (digital) collaboration in the construction and installation industry by exchanging digital messages, such as orders, confirmations and invoices, according to the DICO Standard.
Communicate efficiently, economically and quickly
In the construction and installation industry, millions of files are sent and received every year. Think of all the item files, orders, confirmations, packing slips and invoices sent back and forth every day.
When processing all this information, things regularly go wrong. Because each party in the chain re-enters and interprets the information in its own systems, errors arise in quotations, orders or invoices, for example. With all its consequences.
By digitizing the exchange of information, errors can be avoided.
DICO standard: everyone talks in the same language
To make this digital exchange of documents as efficient, fast and economical as possible, the construction and installation industry has developed a messaging standard: the DICO Standard. This is managed by the Chain Standard Foundation.
The DICO Standard contains a set of ground rules and agreements on the electronic exchange of information between manufacturers, wholesalers, construction, maintenance and installation companies and housing associations. So that everyone communicates in the same language.

In conversation with Technical Union about DICO
Technische Unie serves more than 60,000 customers, making it one of the largest suppliers to the installation and construction industries. The technical wholesaler understands like no other the importance of efficient and clear communication.
