Today, we're going to be highlighting Peppol, a European standard that is taking electronic invoicing to the next level.
Peppol : Simplify your B2B processes
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine) is an international network that enables companies, administrations and other organizations to exchange electronic documents in a standardized, secure way. As an international network, Peppol makes it possible to send and receive business documents such as invoices throughout Europe and beyond.
What makes Peppol unique is its decentralized structure: each company or organization can exchange documents via a Peppol access point, which acts as a gateway to the network. Recipient information is stored in SMPs (Service Metadata Publishers), and the SML (Service Metadata Locator) centralizes the data to ensure that every document reaches its destination.
As a company, using Peppol enables you to connect to your business partners in different countries, while ensuring compliance with local legislation.
At IOPOLE, we are both an access point provider and a certified SMP, which means we offer an integrated solution for accessing the Peppol network without going through intermediaries.
Undeniable advantages for your company
Using Peppol offers many tangible benefits for your company, such as :
Save time and money : automating the invoicing process optimizes processing times and significantly reduces administrative costs.
Enhanced security : peppol exchanges are protected by digital certificates, guaranteeing the confidentiality and integrity of invoices.
Faster payments : electronic invoices issued via Peppol are generally processed faster by the recipient, reducing payment times for your company.
Simplified compliance : many European countries have introduced e-invoicing requirements. Peppol is a simple and effective way of complying with these regulations.
