Yes, MDware now also supports Peppol.
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine) is an international network that lets companies and governments safely and efficiently exchange electronic documents, like invoices, orders and delivery notes.
It's not software, but an agreed standard and a secure network that lets you send and receive documents digitally between organizations — no hassle with email or PDFs.
Peppol works through a network of Access Points. Think of it as a kind of digital postal service:
📤 You send an invoice through your Access Point.
🚀 That invoice gets sent over the Peppol network to the recipient’s Access Point.
📥 The recipient gets the document straight into their accounting system.
So you don’t have to know which system the other party uses — if you’re both connected to Peppol, it just works.
Faster: No waiting times or manual processing.
Secure: Encrypted delivery via reliable Access Points.
International: Works across all of Europe and beyond.
Automatic: Documents land directly in the right system.
Let me know if you need this in a different tone or style — for example, more formal, more technical, or maybe with a visual infographic.
How is Peppol different from other electronic invoicing systems?
Good question, Kjell! Peppol isn't just another e-invoicing system — it's an international network and standard that sets itself apart from other solutions in a few important ways. Here are the main differences:
Characteristic | Peppol | Other e-invoicing systems |
🌐 Network structure | Works via an open, international network of Access Points | Often closed systems or platform-specific |
📄 File format | Sends structured UBL/XML files | Sometimes PDF, sometimes its own format |
🔒 Security | Only registered parties are allowed to send/receive | Less control over sender, greater risk of fraud |
🌍 International use | Supported all over Europe and beyond | Often limited to national or regional use |
🔁 Interoperability | Works with different software packages through standard integrations | Integration often needs customization |
🧾 Automation | Invoices go straight into the recipient's bookkeeping system | Manual processing or import needed |
📆 Future-oriented | Will be mandatory for B2B in Belgium from 2026 | Not always required by law |
Fewer errors: Thanks to automation and standardization.
Faster payments: Invoices get processed and approved quicker.
Fraud prevention: Every sender is known and checked.
Efficiency: Less manual work, lower admin costs.
So Peppol isn’t just another option — it’s a fundamental upgrade in how companies communicate with one another. If you want, I can also help with a custom comparison for your sector or software package.
