Certifications

Peppol (PKI) production 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.

Peppol certified Service 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.nu Analysis

Flowin is a strong choice for software vendors and organizations seeking a modern, API-driven solution for Peppol connectivity, backed by the reliability of Wolters Kluwer. The platform stands out for the speed at which integrations can be completed—literally “in days, not months”—thanks to extensive documentation, a free sandbox environment, and robust support.

The Flowin API is designed specifically for developers and includes all modern standards such as REST APIs, OAuth authorization, and webhook notifications. This makes it especially attractive for ERP providers, accounting platforms, and software vendors who want to offer e-invoicing without dealing with the complexity of Peppol compliance themselves. With SSL/TLS encryption and regular security audits, the platform meets the highest security standards.

An important distinction is that Flowin focuses on B2B API integration rather than end-user functionality. It is therefore less suited for small businesses looking for a simple invoicing portal, but highly suitable for mid-sized to large organizations (50+ employees) and software vendors who want to enable e-invoicing for their customers.

Flowin also plays a key role in the DigiCrowd initiative, a collaboration between major software providers in Belgium aimed at accelerating the adoption of electronic invoicing. This partnership enhances interoperability and support within the Belgian market, particularly through integration with the Zoomit network for B2C invoicing.

Best Match

Flowin is best suited for software vendors, ERP providers, and developers seeking a powerful API solution to integrate Peppol connectivity into their own software. It is also an excellent fit for mid-sized to large organizations with international ambitions and a need for flexible, scalable e-invoicing via Peppol—supported by the extensive technical capabilities and stability of Wolters Kluwer.
