Introduction

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is a standardized network designed for the secure and efficient exchange of electronic documents, such as invoices and orders. Originally developed for use across Europe, Peppol is increasingly being adopted by countries outside the continent, becoming a global leader in e-invoicing and digital procurement.

The Peppol network supports all types of transactions—B2C (Business to Consumer), B2B (Business to Business), and B2G (Business to Government)—depending on local legal requirements.

How the Peppol Network Works

Peppol operates using a four-corner model. In this structure, each trading partner (sender and receiver) connects to the network through a certified Peppol Access Point (AP) - gateway. When a document is sent, it passes securely through the sender’s AP, across the Peppol network, and is delivered by the recipient’s AP to their business system. This model ensures interoperability, security, and standardization across borders and systems.

Country-Specific Implementations

Although Peppol is a unified standard, minor local variations may be necessary to meet country-specific legal or technical requirements.

Currently, Clock supports Peppol integration in the following countries:

  • Sweden
  • Norway

If your country is using Peppol but is not listed above, please contact the ClockPMS+ support team or guidance and further information.
