Pillarcraft Cloud Solutions has been accredited as a System Integrator for Nigeria’s new e-invoicing regime, reinforcing the federal government’s push to deepen digital tax compliance and increasing pressure on businesses to align their accounting systems with the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) platform.
The company confirmed the approval in a statement issued on Tuesday, noting that the accreditation was granted by the NRS in collaboration with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).
Under the NRS merchant-buyer e-invoicing framework, qualifying businesses are required to convert every issued invoice into a prescribed digital format and transmit it to the national platform through licensed providers. This effectively compels companies to either build compliant technology layers or integrate their existing accounting and enterprise systems with the NRS infrastructure.
Explaining its role, Pillarcraft said a System Integrator is a licensed service provider responsible for connecting taxpayers’ business systems—such as ERP, accounting, and invoicing software—to the NRS e-invoicing platform. The integrator ensures invoices are converted into the required format, securely transmitted through approved Access Point Providers, validated by the NRS, and returned to the taxpayer’s system for compliance, reporting, and audit purposes.
To support this process, Pillarcraft disclosed that it has developed a dedicated middleware solution designed to sit between business systems and the tax platform. The tool acts as a technical bridge, enabling seamless, accurate, and scalable transmission of invoice data without disrupting existing operations.
As part of the announcement, the company unveiled UsawaConnect, a compliance middleware product built to link accounting and ERP software directly to the NRS Merchant Buyer Platform. According to Pillarcraft, the solution validates and transmits invoice data in line with regulatory requirements, maintains structured audit trails, and allows businesses to meet compliance obligations without replacing their current software stack.
The firm said the accreditation places Pillarcraft among a limited group of authorised providers supporting businesses in implementing e-invoicing solutions aligned with Nigeria’s national digital tax infrastructure.
Founder Bayode Agbi described the rollout of e-invoicing as more than a technical upgrade, framing it as a broader shift in how businesses operate under Nigeria’s evolving tax reforms. He said the company’s accreditation and the launch of UsawaConnect reflect years of hands-on experience working with Nigerian businesses, tax authorities, and enterprise systems, with a focus on making compliance seamless, reliable, and scalable.
Pillarcraft said it will now work closely with businesses to help them connect securely to the NRS platform, maintain audit-ready records, and manage reporting obligations across multiple systems and subsidiaries.
Nigeria’s tax digitisation drive has accelerated in recent years, following the restructuring of the federal tax authority and the introduction of new compliance frameworks aimed at widening the tax base and reducing evasion. While these reforms promise greater transparency and efficiency, they also require businesses to absorb integration costs and adjust operations as the new systems take hold.
Pillarcraft, a subsidiary of Agbi Bayode and Co., said its software development approach draws on more than two decades of professional tax practice and prior experience in cloud systems integration. The company added that its platform is designed for small businesses, large corporates, accounting firms, and software vendors that must now align their invoicing processes with the NRS framework as enforcement intensifies.
