Complyance Becomes Certified Peppol Service Provider

Global — April 10, 2025 — Complyance has been certified as a Peppol Service Provider and registered Peppol Access Point by OpenPeppol. The certification enables Complyance to connect businesses directly to the Peppol network, the international e-invoicing infrastructure used by governments and enterprises in over 40 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.

The certification allows Complyance to send, receive, and route electronic business documents on behalf of registered businesses through the Peppol four-corner model.

What Is a Peppol Service Provider?

A Peppol Service Provider is a certified technology company authorized by OpenPeppol to operate an Access Point on the Peppol network. Peppol Access Points are the gateway through which businesses send and receive electronic invoices and other business documents. Service providers handle participant registration, document routing, format compliance, and secure transmission across the network.

Businesses cannot connect to the Peppol network directly — they must use a certified service provider like Complyance.

What Is the Peppol Network?

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is the global standard for exchanging electronic business documents. Originally developed for European public procurement, the network has expanded worldwide and is now adopted or mandated by countries including:

• Middle East: UAE (FTA mandate), Saudi Arabia (under evaluation), Bahrain, Oman
• Asia-Pacific: Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea
• Europe: All EU member states, Norway, Iceland, United Kingdom

Over 40 countries participate in the Peppol network, with more joining each year. The network processes billions of transactions annually.

What Complyance's Peppol Certification Covers

As a certified Peppol Service Provider and Access Point, Complyance can:

• Connect businesses to the Peppol network without requiring them to build their own Access Point infrastructure
• Send and receive Peppol BIS 3.0 compliant invoices on behalf of registered businesses across all Peppol-enabled countries
• Handle Peppol participant registration including SMP (Service Metadata Publisher) configuration and document routing setup
• Support cross-border e-invoicing between any two Peppol-connected entities worldwide through the four-corner model
• Process all Peppol document types including invoices, credit notes, order documents, and despatch advice

Why Peppol Certification Matters for Businesses

For businesses operating across multiple countries, Peppol certification eliminates the need for country-by-country integrations. Instead of connecting to each country's tax authority separately, businesses route their invoices through Complyance's Peppol Access Point to reach counterparties in any Peppol-enabled country.

This is particularly relevant for:

• UAE-based businesses where the FTA has adopted Peppol as the backbone of its e-invoicing ecosystem
• Multinational enterprises trading across borders in Europe, APAC, and the Middle East
• Government suppliers in countries where Peppol is mandatory for B2G (business-to-government) invoicing
