About Peppol.now

What Peppol.now is — and what it isn't

Peppol.now is an independent showcase of reliable e-invoicing providers. We bring providers together in one place, make them comparable, and offer background knowledge to help you understand what works for your situation.

Why this platform exists

E-invoicing is becoming mandatory in a growing number of countries. Businesses need to make a choice. And that choice is far from straightforward — not because the technology is so complex, but because the information is so fragmented.

Anyone researching Peppol runs into three problems. Most explanations are written by parties trying to sell something. Government communications are accurate but rarely practical. And the gap between technology, policy and day-to-day business operations is seldom bridged.

E-invoicing is not an IT project. It is a business decision — with implications for administration, supply chains and cash flow. Peppol.now helps you make that decision on solid grounds.

How we safeguard our independence

Independence is not a marketing claim — it is a design choice. We earn money, but not at the expense of clarity.

Providers can be visible on Peppol.now through a partnership arrangement. They pay a fee for that. This allows us to keep the platform free for everyone looking for an e-invoicing solution.

We do not earn from leads, transactions or referrals to specific providers. If a provider is not the right fit for your situation, we say so — whether you arrived via a partner profile or via a search engine.

Our reputation is our business model. If it is damaged because we steer rather than inform, the platform loses its value. That pressure works in your favour.

Who takes responsibility for it

Peppol.now is built by two people who know this domain from practice — not from a vendor perspective, but from years of work inside organisations going through digital transitions.

Justin de Jager

Co-founder & Strategic Adviser

Justin spent years working on digital transitions in the public sector — from ministries to executive agencies. What he saw time and again: organisations unable to make the right decision because the available explanation was too technical, too commercial or too abstract. Peppol.now is his response to that structural problem.

At Peppol.now he and Wouter jointly set the direction. His day-to-day focus is on relationship management, sales, marketing and content.

"If it can't be explained simply, something is wrong — either with the explanation, or with the solution."

Wouter Scholten

Co-founder & Senior Adviser

Wouter spent 17 years working on digitisation challenges in both the public and private sector, specialising in data exchange, e-invoicing and e-procurement. He knows the Peppol network from the inside — including the places where explanations fall short and where organisations make the wrong choices due to incomplete information.

At Peppol.now he and Justin jointly set the direction. His day-to-day focus is on technical management of the platform, development and ongoing improvement of the tooling, and financial operations.

"The best solution is the one you don't have to explain to your users. But to find it, you first have to understand the question."
