What is Vanuatu VSMS?
VSMS stands for Vanuatu Sales Monitoring System — the fiscalization framework operated by Vanuatu's Department of Customs and Inland Revenue (DCIR). Businesses that issue taxable sales invoices need software that can fiscalize invoices and support the reporting workflow required by DCIR. The correct technical setup depends on how the business currently creates invoices — at a counter, in accounting software, in a hotel PMS, or inside an ERP.
Most Vanuatu businesses do not need to replace what they already have. They need a fiscalization layer attached to the existing invoice flow — which is precisely what FiscoBridge provides through SDC, Web Invoicing, or accounting integrations.

Can Xero, Odoo or MYOB invoices be fiscalized?
Yes — and for accounting firms running multiple Vanuatu clients, this is often the cleanest setup. Invoices created in Xero stay in Xero. FiscoBridge reads them, fiscalizes the data, and writes the resulting fiscal reference back so the accounting record matches what DCIR has on file. Depending on the configuration, fiscalization can happen when an invoice is approved or when payment is added.
Odoo follows the same pattern — a fit for Vanuatu businesses already running Odoo for inventory, sales orders, and invoicing across multiple locations. It works on Odoo Online and on self-hosted, on-premise deployments; the connection method is chosen during setup.
MYOB is supported for both MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business (formerly MYOB Essentials). You connect over OAuth, map your MYOB tax codes to the VSMS tax rates, and FiscoBridge signs each invoice with your PFX certificate and submits it to DCIR. MYOB is polled rather than pushed, so an invoice is normally fiscalized within about five minutes of being raised.

Six ways to reach VSMS compliance. Pick the one that matches how invoices are produced in your business today.
Xero & Odoo VSMS Integrations
Best for: businesses and accounting firms invoicing in Xero or Odoo
Invoices created in Xero or Odoo are fiscalized through FiscoBridge in real time. Depending on the setup, invoices can be fiscalized when approved or when payment is added — the accounting record stays in the source system and gains a verified fiscal reference. Odoo is supported on Odoo Online and on self-hosted, on-premise deployments.

Best for: Vanuatu businesses invoicing in MYOB AccountRight or MYOB Business
Both MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business are supported. Connect over OAuth, map your MYOB tax codes to the VSMS tax rates, and invoices are signed with your PFX certificate and submitted to DCIR automatically. FiscoBridge polls MYOB, so invoices are normally fiscalized within about five minutes.

Best for: businesses and POS vendors with a till already in place
Your existing POS sends invoice data to the FiscoBridge Sales Data Controller, which signs it, reports it to DCIR, and returns the fiscal payload for the receipt. No POS replacement and no hardware refresh — and because signing happens locally, sales keep working when the connection drops.

Best for: retail and restaurants that want a complete till
FiscoBridge Desktop POS is a full point of sale for Windows, macOS, and Linux with VSMS fiscalization built in through the SDC. Inventory, customers, shifts, and reports are included, so there is no separate POS to buy and integrate.

Best for: hotels, retailers, supermarkets, ERP, software vendors
If your current business system can send invoice data to an API, FiscoBridge can help create a fiscalization workflow without replacing your full system. Hotel PMS, restaurant systems, and ERP back-office invoicing all fit this model.
Read the POS to SDC API documentationHow do custom POS and ERP integrations work?
For Vanuatu hotels and larger businesses, invoices rarely originate from a generic POS. They come from a property management system, a restaurant module, or an ERP. FiscoBridge treats all of these the same way: if the system can export or send invoice data — typically via REST API, but file-based handoffs are also possible — FiscoBridge can fiscalize it and return a signed payload for receipts, PDFs, or accounting writeback.
The implementation effort scales with how clean the source data is. Properties already issuing structured invoices through Opera, Cloudbeds, or a similar PMS usually integrate quickly. Custom-built systems may need a short adapter project — usually days rather than months.
Pricing and setup
Vanuatu VSMS pricing depends on the type of setup. Businesses using Xero, MYOB, or Odoo may need an integration plan. Businesses with POS devices may need SDC licensing, and businesses that need a till as well may want Desktop POS. Companies with custom ERP or hotel systems may need a custom integration quote.

Frequently asked questions — Vanuatu VSMS
Practical answers for Vanuatu business owners, accountants, and software vendors.
Not always. If your business already creates invoices in Xero, MYOB, ERP, or another system, you may be able to use an integration instead of replacing your workflow with a separate POS.
Yes. FiscoBridge supports Xero and Odoo fiscalization workflows where invoice data can be fiscalized through FiscoBridge and linked back to the accounting record. Both follow the same approve-or-paid trigger model.
Yes. FiscoBridge supports both MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business (formerly MYOB Essentials). After you connect MYOB over OAuth and map your MYOB tax codes to the VSMS tax rates, invoices are signed with your PFX certificate and submitted to DCIR automatically. FiscoBridge polls MYOB for new invoices, so fiscalization normally completes within about five minutes.
Accounting firms usually need a scalable setup for multiple clients. FiscoBridge integrations can be useful when clients use Xero, Odoo, MYOB, or other accounting systems and need a consistent fiscalization workflow across the practice.
Yes, if the POS can send invoice data to an API. This allows the business to keep its current POS interface while FiscoBridge handles the fiscalization part.
For businesses with simple invoice issuing needs, Web Invoicing may be enough. Businesses that also need a till should look at FiscoBridge Desktop POS. Businesses with more complex workflows may need the SDC behind an existing POS, a Xero, MYOB, or Odoo integration, or a custom API integration.
Yes. Hotels, ERP systems, and larger businesses can use custom integration if their system can export or send invoice data to FiscoBridge.
The best setup depends on where invoices are created today, how many users or locations you have, and whether you need POS, accounting integration, or ERP integration.
