Peppol: The International Network for Digital Document Exchange
Peppol is an innovative international network that connects businesses and governments worldwide for secure, efficient and standardized exchange of eInvoices and other business documents. Say goodbye to paper processes and complex integrations.
What is Peppol Exactly?
The network makes it possible to exchange business documents such as eInvoices, orders, and delivery confirmations securely and reliably without parties needing direct technical connections. By using a unique Peppol ID, your organization becomes discoverable on the network, allowing other parties to easily send documents to you.
What makes Peppol special is that it works like a "digital post office" - you only need to be connected to the network via a certified Access Point, and you can communicate directly with all other connected parties worldwide, regardless of what software they use.
How does eInvoicing via Peppol work?
An eInvoice via Peppol is much more than a PDF. It's a structured XML document that can be automatically read and processed by any compatible system. This means that invoice data can be imported directly into your accounting system without manual input.
The process is amazingly simple: you create an invoice in your own system, this is automatically converted to the Peppol format, sent via your Access Point to the recipient's Access Point, and then automatically processed in their system. Everything happens within seconds, fully automated and with confirmation of receipt.
