PEPPOL was originally designed by the European Union to facilitate cross-border commerce between companies and EU public entities, but thanks to its interoperability it has become such a success it is being used outside the EU.
PEPPOL (Pan European Public Procurement Online) is a series of directives to promote the digitalization of transactions in B2G and B2B sectors.
The PEPPOL system enables companies to send and receive orders, electronic invoices, waybills, etc., regardless of what country they are in.
Companies that use this system also benefit from a unified set of standards for the exchange of data.
