Ensure Peppol Compliance

Now you don't need to be a compliance expert to be compliant.

What is Peppol and why does it matter?

Peppol is a common global framework for the cross-border exchange of electronic business documents. It is an entire set of rules and technical specifications to harmonise electronic business document formats and transmission standards. Peppol’s level of sophistication is in fact so high that across the globe many countries implement compulsory electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) mandates & regulations based on the Peppol framework’s technical foundation. Peppol connectivity is a central business and compliance requirement for any organisation working across borders.

How Basware can help

Being able to connect to the Peppol Network is a must for many organisations and will only become more relevant moving forward as Peppol adoption rises across the globe. As an official Peppol Access Point, the Basware Network enables your organisation to connect to Peppol and transact with your buyers and suppliers seamlessly.

We Understand Your Requirements

Today, there are many local invoicing and procurement requirements and recommendations all around the world, and Peppol plays an important role. Sooner or later, many globally active organisations encounter Peppol access as a requirement when connecting to buyers or suppliers.

  • Many countries trust the Peppol business validation rules for local invoicing mandates & rulings.
  • Peppol’s importance in B2B connectivity and document exchange is continuously growing.
  • Compliance with e-invoicing mandates & regulations is a central business requirement.

Peppol Government Mandates & Regulations Across The Globe

Across the globe, more and more countries are imposing specific regulations around e-invoicing to enforce VAT compliance and encourage organisations to adopt e-invoicing. Many countries trust Peppol’s technical specifications to impose their mandates:

Basware has been at the forefront of developing e-invoicing and e-procurement solutions, and continuously keeps track of the latest local requirements on a global scale. Through the Basware Network, your organisation can ensure globally compliant B2G & B2B connectivity, be it via Peppol or other local legal requirements.

Official Peppol Access Point & Developer

Basware has been a central part of Peppol development efforts since its very beginning. Going back to the late 2000s, Basware was the first official access point that sent the very first live transaction in the Peppol Network. Ever since, Basware has been an integral part in further developing and improving the Peppol Network, with the strategic goal of delivering compliant global B2B & B2G connectivity to our customers.

As an Access Point software implementer for the Peppol Access Points in the Oxalis Community I probably know better than most how important it is to have a resilient access system into the Peppol Network - it is a foundational aspect.

While Peppol is not an e-procurement platform, its framework can be adopted into existing e-procurement solutions and e-business exchange services helping to reduce manual work and supplier onboarding.
