Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine (Peppol) is widely known as a network for sending electronic invoices to public sector customers in Europe<\/a>. What makes Peppol appealing is that all participating stakeholders can communicate with each other by way of certified Peppol Access Points. To transfer data, one simply needs the recipient\u2019s Peppol-ID \u2013 comparable with an email address. The technical execution, in other words delivering and receiving the data, is carried out by the access point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These access points are generally operated by specialized service providers. Depending on their certification, these providers may be able to send data, receive data or both. In the system\u2019s technical jargon, a company involved in the sending direction is known as a Post Award (PoA) service provider, while a company on the receiving end is known as an Addressing and Capability Lookup (ACL) service provider. Retarus is, incidentally, certified for both PoA and ACL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huge value also added in B2B communication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Companies are well advised to opt for a Peppol Access Point or service provider which supports receiving messages in addition to sending them, as this provides significant benefits for B2B communication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
