What is Peppol and who uses it?
Peppol represents a network and set of specifications designed to facilitate the exchange of electronic procurement documents between companies. Definitively, it is a common and interoperable standard, designed to nurture the development of cross-border eProcurement which enables businesses to connect with any organisation (public administrations or private entities) regardless of their location or the systems they use. This network’s purpose is to create a single global procurement market.
What does OpenPeppol stand for?
It’s the name of the organization that has developed and promoted the implementation of standards for eProcurement processes to be used by governments, businesses and their technology providers, thus ensuring the ease of exchange of electronic procurement documents between trading partners – which today represent the Peppol network.
Who uses Peppol nowadays?
Although Peppol was developed as an EU standard, it is currently used in 34 countries in Europe and around the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, and the USA. Peppol Authorities are located in 17 different parts of the world.
The three pillars of Peppol

Network
The Peppol Network is the network architecture utilised to allow Peppol-certified Service Providers to send and receive Peppol Business Interoperability Specifications (BIS) documents on behalf of their end user customers.

Document Specifications
Peppol’s Business Interoperability Specifications (BIS) set common business documents standards (based on UBL) to ensure interoperability between all Access Points within the Network.

Legal framework
The Peppol Governance arrangements represents the legal framework under which Peppol activity is undertaken, ensuring the many-to-many interoperability.
What is a Peppol Access Point Service Provider?
The connection to the Peppol network is done through a Peppol Access Point certified by the OpenPeppol Association, such as DocProcess, who enables users to exchange electronic documents based on the Peppol specifications. This principle is similar to a telecom provider that connects its customers to the telephone network.
How does Peppol work?
The Peppol network is based on a four corner model. This connection model requires both sender and receiver to send and receive documents via a Peppol Access Point (service provider). The ‘four corners’ in question are the sender, the receiver and their respective service providers.
SMP is a decentralized registry that provides information on the access points and types of messages that a Peppol recipient can receive.
Each trading partner has a unique ID in the form of a URL which is found in the SML. Through this identifier, an Access Point locates the right SMP and through it, the other recipient’s Access Point.
