Custom Peppol integration development
E-invoicing via Peppol is becoming the standard in the Netherlands and across Europe. Invoices to government bodies already have to go through Peppol, and it will become mandatory for B2B transactions in the coming years. The sooner you connect, the less rushed the work will be later.
We build Peppol integrations that automate your invoicing process: converting invoices to UBL, sending them through the Peppol network and processing incoming invoices automatically in your accounts.
What is Peppol?
Peppol is an international network for exchanging electronic business documents. It works a bit like a postal network for invoices: your system sends a structured invoice to an Access Point, which delivers it to the recipient — regardless of which system the recipient uses.
Standardised invoices
Peppol invoices are sent in UBL format (Universal Business Language). A structured XML file containing all invoice details: amounts, VAT, line items, payment information. Machine-readable and automatically processable.
International network
Peppol works across Europe, Australia, Singapore and beyond. A Peppol ID is universal: you can reach any organisation connected to the network, from Dutch municipalities to European trading partners.
Real-time and reliable
Invoices are delivered within seconds with delivery confirmation. No emails landing in spam, no PDFs that need processing by hand. Fully traceable from dispatch to receipt.
Why connect to Peppol now?
E-invoicing is no longer a thing of the future. The Dutch government and the EU are pushing for mandatory e-invoicing for all businesses. If you connect now, you won't have a problem later.
Already mandatory for government
Invoicing the central government, municipalities, provinces and water boards already has to go through Peppol or Digipoort. Without a Peppol integration, you cannot send invoices to the government.
EU obligation for B2B
The EU directive ViDA (VAT in the Digital Age) requires e-invoicing for cross-border B2B transactions. The Netherlands is preparing national legislation that will also make domestic B2B invoicing mandatory.
Cost savings
Handmatige factuurverwerking kost gemiddeld 10-15 euro per factuur. Automatisch via Peppol daalt dit naar minder dan 1 euro. Bij honderden facturen per maand is de business case snel rond.
Faster payment
Peppol invoices are processed directly and without errors by the recipient. No delays from incorrect data, misplaced PDFs or manual entry. This demonstrably leads to faster payment.

How Peppol works technically
Peppol uses a four-corner model: sender, sender's Access Point, receiver's Access Point, receiver. We build the integration between your system and the Access Point, which is the complex part.
Peppol ID and SMP
Every participant has a Peppol ID (e.g. 0106:KvK number for the Netherlands). The Service Metadata Publisher (SMP) register tells the network which Access Point the recipient uses. Your system only needs to know the Peppol ID.
AS4 protocol
Messages are sent using the AS4 protocol, a reliable, encrypted messaging protocol with delivery confirmation. Your Access Point handles this; we ensure your invoice data is delivered correctly.
Validation and compliance
Every invoice is validated against the Peppol BIS 3.0 specification before it is sent. Invalid invoices are caught with clear error messages so they can be corrected.
From manual invoicing to fully automated
Printing, scanning and emailing invoices, entering them into the accounts by hand, chasing payments: it costs hours every week and produces errors. A Peppol integration removes that entire process. Your system generates the invoice, converts it to UBL, sends it through Peppol, and the recipient processes it automatically. Within seconds, error-free and fully traceable. The question is not whether you switch, but when.
More than invoices
Peppol doesn't only support invoices. The network can also exchange other business documents. We build integrations for the full range of document traffic.
Orders and order confirmations
Send purchase orders and receive order confirmations via Peppol. Automatic processing without manual entry, connected to your ordering or procurement system.
Credit notes
Send and receive credit notes through the same Peppol channel. Automatic processing in your accounts, linked to the original invoice.
Catalogues
Share product catalogues with trading partners via Peppol. Exchange items, prices and specifications in a structured way so your customers can order directly from their own system.
Technology and approach
Our integration specialists build Peppol integrations using proven technology and work with certified Access Points.
