Good Feeling Products (GFP) is a family-owned natural cosmetics company selling internationally through a ByDesign e-commerce system. Invoicing via Easybill had to account for three country accounts, country-specific shipping costs, and special invoice number ranges – previously an entirely manual process.

Every order had to be manually read from ByDesign, assigned to the correct country account, and typed into Easybill – including country-specific shipping costs and special number ranges. With growing international order volume, this was an unsustainable situation.

100% automated

From shipping status in ByDesign to the finished invoice delivered to the customer – without any manual intervention

3 country accounts

Automatic assignment of each order to the correct billing account based on destination country

30-day implementation

From concept to running production system in just one month

The Challenge

The particular complexity lay in international invoicing. GFP needed a system that automatically processes orders from ByDesign while accounting for different requirements per target market.

3 Country Accounts

Each order must be assigned to the correct billing account – automatically based on the destination country.

Country-Specific Shipping Costs

Shipping costs vary by destination country and must be automatically calculated and added to the invoice.

Special Number Ranges

Certain order types require their own invoice number ranges – the middleware manages these automatically.

The Solution

Our middleware automates the entire invoicing process: as soon as an order is marked as "shipped" in ByDesign, the system creates the appropriate invoice, assigns it to the correct country account, adds the shipping costs, and sends it directly to the customer.

Automatic Trigger

Order is marked as "shipped" – the middleware detects the status change and automatically starts the invoice creation process.

Intelligent Assignment

Each order is assigned to the correct country account, shipping costs are calculated, and the right number range is selected.

Direct Invoice Delivery

The finished invoice is sent directly to the customer via Easybill – without manual intervention, without delay.

Comprehensive Monitoring

Detailed logging and monitoring ensure full transparency. The team is immediately notified in case of errors.

The Benefits

Time Savings

Full automation eliminates manual data entry. The team can focus on core tasks.

Error-Free Processes

Automatic data transfer eliminates typos in addresses, amounts, and country assignments.

Subscription Model, No Upfront Costs

Manageable monthly fees instead of high one-time costs – including updates, maintenance, and support.

Future-Proof

Continuous maintenance and fast response to API changes ensure uninterrupted long-term operation.

Technology Stack

The middleware is built on the proven Laravel framework with Laravel Horizon for queue management and Filament as the monitoring interface.

Laravel Backend

Solid backend framework for all business logic – SOAP API connection to ByDesign and REST API integration with Easybill.

Laravel Horizon

Queue-based processing with real-time dashboard – reliable execution of all invoice jobs with retry logic.

SOAP & REST APIs

Bidirectional integration: SOAP API for ByDesign order data, REST API for Easybill invoice creation and delivery.
