Why Peppol.now? - Independent selection platform for e-invoicing

Why Peppol.now?

The e-invoicing market is growing fast and becoming increasingly complex. Peppol.now exists because good decisions start with good information — not a sales pitch.

A market full of choices, but little clarity

Imagine: your organisation needs to choose an e-invoicing solution. You search online. You find dozens of providers, each with their own terminology, promises and pricing models. Every website assures you that their solution is the best. You call a few of them. Every salesperson emphasises different advantages. After two hours, you know no more than when you started.

This is the reality many organisations across Europe face as e-invoicing via Peppol becomes mandatory in country after country. The regulations are complex, the market is fragmented, and the information that is available almost always carries a commercial interest behind it.

Peppol.now was built on a single conviction: anyone who wants to make a good choice needs independent information. Not a sales pitch, but an honest overview of what is available, how it works, and what fits their situation.

A curated showcase of reliable providers — not a referral site

Peppol.now is an independent selection platform. We do not sell e-invoicing services ourselves and have no preference for any specific provider. Our sole purpose is to present a curated overview of reliable Peppol service providers, so that organisations can make that choice on a well-informed basis.

Every provider that appears on Peppol.now has actively chosen to be visible on this platform. They present themselves according to uniform criteria: services, specialisations, integrations, certifications and target audience — not according to the size of their advertising budget.

The difference from a search engine or generic comparison site: we curate. Every provider on Peppol.now is a reliable party that meets the requirements of the Peppol network and is transparent about what they offer. You are comparing like with like.

Independent

No commercial interest in your choice. We are not affiliated with any provider or software vendor. Our platform only works if you trust it.

Transparent

Uniform profiles for all providers, so comparison is fair. No hidden rankings, no paid placement disguised as editorial choice.

Substantive

An active knowledge base with up-to-date information on regulations, implementation models and European developments — so you understand what you are choosing.

From orientation to a well-considered decision

Choosing an e-invoicing solution is a decision that will stay with you for years. Switching providers costs time, money and internal effort. It pays to prepare that choice thoroughly — and that is exactly what Peppol.now facilitates.

1

Build understanding through the Knowledge Base

Understand what Peppol is, how it differs from other e-invoicing models (such as clearance systems), which European obligations are coming your way, and what the technical terminology means. Those who understand the subject ask better questions of providers.

2

Filter based on your situation

Use the comparison tool to filter on what is relevant to you: your software environment, invoice volume, the countries you trade in, your company size. This produces a shortlist of providers that genuinely fit your situation.

3

Compare providers on uniform criteria

Review provider profiles on Peppol.now: the same structure, the same information points. You compare what they actually offer, not what their marketing department considers most persuasive.

4

Enter the conversation well prepared

Anyone who is well informed in advance has a different kind of conversation with providers. Not listening to what the supplier tells you, but asking what is relevant to you. This leads to better agreements — and fewer surprises after signing.

Who is Peppol.now for?

Peppol.now is intended for anyone who needs to deal with e-invoicing via Peppol — as a buyer, a decision-maker, an adviser or a provider.

Business owners and finance managers

Who are facing mandatory e-invoicing obligations in Belgium, France, or other European markets, and are looking for a reliable provider that fits their business and software environment.

Procurement managers and IT leads

Who want to run a structured longlist-to-shortlist selection process before engaging with suppliers — and who do not want to start on a vendor's own website.

Accountants and financial advisers

Who want to guide their clients objectively through the choice of an e-invoicing solution, without being dependent on a single vendor or referral commission.

International trading partners

Who do business with companies in Belgium, the Netherlands, France or other Peppol-connected countries, and want to understand how Peppol works in those markets and what options are available.

No advertisements. No hidden commissions. No preferential treatment.

On Peppol.now, providers pay for visibility through a transparent partnership model. What you get in return: uniform, comparable profiles. What you do not get: a paid position at the top of the list presenting itself as an editorial recommendation, or a referral fee collected when you sign a contract.

Curated selection

Only providers officially connected to the Peppol network who are transparent about their services.

No sales pressure

We do not contact you after a visit. You decide when and whether to approach a provider.

Current knowledge base

Regularly updated information on European regulations, deadlines and practical experiences from countries where e-invoicing is already mandatory.

Free to use

Comparing, filtering and looking up information: the platform is freely accessible to anyone who wants to make an informed choice.

A platform that works for buyers and providers alike

An independent platform only has value if it is trusted by those who use it. That trust is not self-evident — it requires consistent independence, current content and fair presentation.

Providers on Peppol.now benefit from that same trust. Anyone who finds a provider through Peppol.now has already thought about what they need. That person is better informed than the average website visitor, asks better questions and reaches a decision faster. That is a conversation that delivers more value for both parties.

Peppol.now is built on the conviction that better decisions start with better information. For the buyer, that means a solution that genuinely fits. For the provider, it means a prospect who knows what they want. For the market, it means trust in e-invoicing as a standard.
