Access Point Provider (POP000991)
The Pan-European Public Procurement Online network connecting businesses and governments across the globe.
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is the world's leading e-invoicing network, enabling secure exchange of electronic business documents between organizations worldwide. Originally developed for European public sector procurement, Peppol has grown into the de facto global standard for B2B and B2G e-invoicing.
The network uses a four-corner model where certified Access Points (like GoRoute.ai) handle the secure transmission of documents. Combined with the Service Metadata Publisher (SMP) for participant discovery, Peppol enables seamless any-to-any document exchange without point-to-point integrations.

Everything you need to know about the Peppol network and global e-invoicing
A Peppol Access Point is a certified gateway that connects your business to the Peppol network. Think of it like an email provider for invoices — you can't send Peppol documents directly, you need an Access Point (like GoRoute.ai) to handle the secure transmission, digital signing, and routing. We're certified by OpenPeppol (POP000991) to send and receive documents on your behalf.
A Peppol Participant ID is your unique address on the network, like an email address for documents. It's formatted as a scheme code plus identifier — for example, "0088:5798000000001" (GLN) or "9930:DE123456789" (German VAT). When you sign up with GoRoute.ai, we register your Participant ID using your VAT number, company registration number, or GLN in the Peppol SMP directory.
EN16931 is the European semantic standard for e-invoices, defining what information must be included and how it's structured. Peppol BIS 3.0 is the technical format implementing EN16931 using UBL 2.1 XML. GoRoute.ai validates every invoice against both standards using Schematron rules before transmission, ensuring your invoices are accepted by any recipient on the network.
Many EU countries mandate Peppol for B2G (business-to-government) invoicing, including Germany, France, Belgium, Norway, and Italy. B2B mandates are expanding rapidly — Germany requires e-invoicing from 2025, France from 2026, Poland (KSeF) from 2026. Outside Europe, Singapore's InvoiceNow (Peppol-based) is mandatory for government suppliers. Our compliance team tracks all mandate changes.
GoRoute.ai includes a built-in Peppol Directory lookup. Enter a company's VAT number, GLN, or other identifier and we query the SMP/SML to check if they're registered to receive invoices. You can also use the official Peppol Directory at directory.peppol.eu. If they're not registered, we can help onboard them or send via alternative channels.
Peppol is the network/protocol for transmission. XRechnung (Germany), Factur-X (France), and FatturaPA (Italy) are national CIUS (Core Invoice Usage Specifications) — country-specific invoice formats. GoRoute.ai handles all CIUS variants automatically. When you send to a German authority, we apply XRechnung rules; for France, Factur-X; for Italy, FatturaPA. All transmitted via Peppol.
AS4 (Applicability Statement 4) is the messaging protocol used by Peppol for secure document exchange. Every message is encrypted with TLS 1.2+, digitally signed with X.509 certificates (we use OpenPeppol PKI G3), and includes delivery receipts. AS4 guarantees exactly-once delivery and provides non-repudiation — both sender and receiver have cryptographic proof of transmission.
Absolutely! Peppol has expanded far beyond Europe. You can send invoices to Singapore (InvoiceNow), Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, South Africa, Canada, and the USA (via DBNAlliance interoperability). GoRoute.ai handles the regional requirements automatically — different document types, validation rules, and participant schemes for each country.
Traditional paper/PDF invoicing costs €5-15 per invoice when you factor in printing, postage, manual data entry, and error correction. Peppol e-invoicing through GoRoute.ai costs €0.05-0.50 per invoice depending on volume — up to 95% savings. Plus, electronic invoices are processed 80% faster, reducing DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) and improving cash flow.
GoRoute.ai offers multiple integration options: REST API for developers, pre-built connectors for SAP S/4HANA, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Sage, QuickBooks, Xero, and Odoo. We accept invoices in any format — XML, JSON, CSV, PDF with OCR — and convert to Peppol BIS automatically. Most ERP integrations are live within 1-2 weeks.
GoRoute.ai validates every invoice against EN16931 and Peppol BIS Schematron rules BEFORE transmission, catching 95% of potential rejections. If the receiver's Access Point returns an error (MLR - Message Level Response), we surface it in your dashboard with clear explanation and remediation steps. Our support team helps resolve complex validation issues.
Peppol is one of the most secure document exchange networks available. All transmissions use TLS 1.3 encryption, every message is digitally signed with PKI certificates, and the four-corner model ensures no single party has access to all document content. GoRoute.ai is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and uses AWS infrastructure with 99.99% uptime SLA.
