Peppol operates using a four-corner model involving the following key participants:
Each participant connects to the Peppol network through an Access Point. These Access Points are interconnected, allowing documents to be transmitted securely and efficiently between trading partners. This setup ensures that businesses only need to connect to one Access Point to communicate with any other participant within the network.
Implementing Peppol e-invoicing offers several advantages:
While many businesses still send invoices as PDFs via email, Peppol e-invoicing offers a smarter, more secure alternative. The table below highlights the key differences between traditional invoicing and sending invoices through the Peppol network—so you can see exactly why the switch makes sense.
| Aspect | Traditional invoicing | Peppol E-invoicing |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Unstructured (e.g., PFD's) | Structured (e.g., UBL/XML) |
| Processing | Manual data entry | Automated integration with accounting systems |
| Error rate | Higher due to manual handling | Lower due to standardized formats |
| Compliance | Varies by country | Meets internationals standards |
| Security | Relies on email security | Encrypted transmission via secure network |
