Overview of features and services

Key Features

Simple onboarding

The software automatically handles the user’s registration on the Peppol network (creating a Peppol ID).

Peppol standard built-in

The software comes with a built-in connection to the Peppol network.

Peppol Ready

The software offers an API or standard connector to connect to the Peppol network.

Mapping and transformation of messages

Support for mapping Peppol messages to internal formats, such as UBL ↔ XML, JSON, or CSV.

Peppol Access Point as a Service

The access point offers an API or standard connector for sending and receiving Peppol messages, suitable for integration with internal systems.

Multi-network connectivity

The software supports not only Peppol but also other networks and platforms. This ensures you're reachable by all partners, regardless of standards or networks. With a multi-connected integration platform or service provider, you have one solution for all your e-invoicing.

Additional Features

Send|e-invoices This invoicing portal can send electronic invoices via the Peppol network in the standardized Peppol format.
Receive|e-invoices The software can receive electronic invoices via the Peppol network in the standardized Peppol format.
Routing and conversion Incoming and outgoing Peppol messages are automatically processed, enriched, forwarded, or converted to another format or system.
Monitoring and logging Users can track the sending and receiving of Peppol messages through a dashboard with logging and status notifications.
White-labeling available The access point offers white-label access for partners or intermediaries. This means you can offer the provider’s access point technology under your own organization’s name, product branding, and visual identity—eliminating the need to develop and maintain the technology yourself.
Peppol address book (SMP) You can obtain your own Peppol SMP. An SMP (Service Metadata Publisher) is a digital address book within the Peppol network. It indicates which organizations are connected, which documents they can receive, in what format, and through which access point.
Peppol Sandbox/Test Environment A Peppol sandbox or test Environment is a simulated digital environment where organizations can safely test how their systems communicate over the **Peppol network**, without performing real transactions.
Direct Peppol registration It is possible to register and to create a Peppol-ID via a registration portal.

Certifications

Peppol certified provider

ℹ️
A certified Peppol Service Provider is recognized by Open Peppol as a trusted access point to the PEPPOL network, meaning the provider meets all technical, security, and interoperability requirements for sending and receiving e-invoices and other business documents.

Peppol PKI certificate

ℹ️
Software vendors with their own Peppol production certificate can send and receive Peppol messages directly over the network, without relying on third parties. For customers, this typically results in faster e-invoice processing, fewer errors, increased reliability, shorter support lines, and lower costs by eliminating external service providers.

GDPR-Compliant

ℹ️
GDPR compliance means that an organization complies with the European privacy law (AVG) by processing personal data safely, transparently and lawfully. Important requirements are consent, data minimization, security and respect for user rights such as access and deletion.

ISAE 3402 (SOC 1 Typ 2)

ℹ️
ISAE 3402 is an international assurance standard for reports on internal controls at service organizations. It is internationally equivalent to SOC 1 and focuses on controls relevant to financial reporting. A Type II report assesses both the design and operating effectiveness of controls over a defined period (typically 6–12 months).

PDP accredited (France)

ℹ️
In France, there are "Partner Dematerialisation Platforms" (PDPs), which are certified services that assist businesses with electronic invoicing. These government-validated platforms can facilitate the sending and management of invoices, including their transmission to the official portal. PDPs play a key role in ensuring compliance with e-invoicing requirements in France.

Peppol.nu Analysis

Babelway stands out through its consistent focus on self-service: the platform is explicitly built for organisations that want to set up, manage and maintain their own integrations — without external consultants or lengthy implementation projects. This is a deliberate positioning that few providers carry through so consistently.

The technical breadth is impressive. With support for dozens of formats and protocols, from classic EDI standards to modern API connections, Babelway covers virtually every integration scenario. The combination of Peppol certification (since 2014), EDI expertise and a scalable cloud platform makes it a robust choice for organisations with complex or diverse integration needs.

The transparent, volume-based pricing structure is a clear advantage: costs are predictable and easy to budget. The 30-day free trial lowers the barrier to exploring the platform firsthand.

One consideration: the self-service approach requires internal technical capacity. Organisations without in-house IT expertise or limited integration experience may find the learning curve challenging, even though Babelway does offer support when needed.

Best Match

Babelway is the strongest choice for small, mid-market and enterprise organisations with in-house technical or business expertise that want full ownership of their EDI and B2B integrations. The platform suits teams that prefer to work independently, scale quickly and avoid reliance on external service providers. Particularly well-suited for organisations active in sectors such as retail, logistics, manufacturing, food & beverages and fashion, with trading partners across Europe and beyond.
