The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) and the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), have accredited Accredit Pillarcraft Cloud Solutions as E-Invoicing System Integrator.

The service provider has commenced work by launching the UsawaConnect Middleware for NRS Compliance as a purpose-built B2B (Business –to-Business) e-invoicing middleware designed to seamlessly connect enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, accounting software, and invoicing platforms to the NRS Merchant Buyer Platform in the quest to boost revenue generation.

“E-invoicing is not just a technology project; it is a tax and business transformation,” said Bayode Agbi, Founder of Pillarcraft, in a statement in Abuja, this afternoon.

He added “Our accreditation as a System Integrator and the launch of UsawaConnect reflects years of practical experience working with Nigerian businesses, tax authorities, and enterprise systems. We built UsawaConnect to make compliance seamless, reliable, and scalable.”

As a licensed service provider Pillarcraft will be responsible for connecting taxpayers’ business systems—such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), accounting, or invoicing software—to the NRS e-invoicing platform.

The System Integrator ensures that invoices generated within a taxpayer’s system are converted into the prescribed NRS e-invoice format with all required data fields, securely transmitted through licensed Access Point Providers to the NRS platform, and returned as validated e-invoices to the taxpayer’s system for compliance, reporting, and audit purposes.

To perform this role efficiently, Pillarcraft developed a dedicated middleware that acts as the technical bridge between business systems and NRS, ensuring seamless, accurate, and scalable e-invoicing compliance.

The accreditation positions Pillarcraft among a select group of firms authorised to support businesses in implementing and integrating e-invoicing solutions that align with Nigeria’s national digital tax infrastructure.

With this accreditation, Pillarcraft is now authorised to act as a trusted integration partner, helping businesses transmit compliant electronic invoices, maintain audit-ready records, and align their internal systems with national e-invoicing requirements.

Alongside the accreditation, Pillarcraft has launched UsawaConnect™, a middleware solution purposefully engineered to bridge the gap between business systems and the NRS e-invoicing infrastructure.

UsawaConnect functions as a secure integration layer designed for SMEs, large enterprises, accounting firms, and software vendors seeking a reliable path to compliance.

It is the product of Pillarcraft’s unique positioning at the intersection of tax, accounting, and technology, developed leveraging over a decade of experience as a partner and implementer of leading global cloud solutions.
