Client Reflection

“TechFarben enabled us to meet regulatory demands with zero disruption and full confidence in our operations.”

— Rahul Jain, Regional Finance Head, ByteDance

The Challenge

Business Challenge:

 With the fiscal year-end nearing, ByteDance needed to comply with new e-invoicing regulations to avoid substantial financial penalties. The urgency demanded a compliance-ready solution with minimal disruption to operations.

Technical Challenge:

 Their in-house system wasn’t equipped to interface with the BIR/EIS or handle real-time, high-volume data transfers. A two-way integration with NetSuite ERP and the Philippines tax portal was required — without increasing overhead.

TechFarben’s Solution

Consulting Strategy:
TechFarben designed a high-resilience architecture to connect ByteDance’s in-house systems with Oracle NetSuite, and from there to the Philippines Indirect Tax Portal (BIR/EIS). The goal was seamless, bidirectional integration with:

  • Automated invoice issuance
  • Real-time acknowledgment and credit memo syncing
  • Minimal manual intervention

Implementation & Execution:
Within just 100 days, TechFarben deployed a custom integration using our proprietary API framework, FarbenBridge, ensuring a fully automated, scalable, and compliant system — ready for high-throughput demands.
