The global shift to Peppol

For professional services organizations operating across borders, the financial landscape is shifting beneath our feet. The days of attaching a PDF to an email and hoping it lands in the right inbox—and not the spam folder—are numbered.

Governments and enterprises worldwide are moving rapidly toward mandatory electronic invoicing (e-invoicing). Leading this charge is Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online), a standard that has evolved from a European directive into a global framework for business interoperability.

For service-driven businesses, this isn't just about ticking a compliance box. It’s about seizing an opportunity to accelerate your cash flow and eliminate administrative friction radically.

Here is why Peppol is becoming the global standard and how VOGSY is ready to help you ensure compliance—and get paid faster—anywhere in the world.

The end of the "lost invoice" era

We have all been there. You deliver a project successfully, send the invoice, and then… silence. Weeks later, you chase the client only to hear, "We never received it," or "It's stuck in approval because of a typo."

Traditional invoicing is prone to human error, manual data entry delays, and issues with email deliverability. E-invoicing changes the game by replacing static PDFs with structured, machine-readable data (like UBL or XML).

This data flows directly from your system into your client’s financial software. No manual re-keying. No "lost in transit." Just pure, accurate financial data.

Why Peppol is the chosen standard

While "e-invoicing" is the method, Peppol is the network that makes it universal. Think of it like a telecom network for business documents; once you are connected, you can “call” anyone else on the network, regardless of what software they use.

Peppol is rapidly becoming the gold standard for Business-to-Government (B2G) and Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions in territories spanning Europe, the UK, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and the Gulf States.

By adopting Peppol, you aren't just complying with local laws; you are joining a secure, automated global trading network that guarantees delivery and authenticity.

Real-world readiness: Board of Innovation

Compliance mandates are real, and they are approaching fast. A prime example is our customer, Board of Innovation, a global collective of strategists and designers with hubs in New York, Singapore, and Antwerp.

As a truly global firm, they navigate complex financial landscapes on a daily basis. With Belgium implementing a strict government mandate for B2B e-invoicing starting January 1st, 2026, Board of Innovation needed a solution that was not just "ready" but fully operational well before the deadline.

By utilizing VOGSY’s native Peppol integration, they are set to go live with compliant e-invoicing ahead of schedule. For them, this isn't just about meeting the January 1st mandate; it's about ensuring their global operations continue to hum with efficiency, free from the disruptions of non-compliance or manual invoice handling.

VOGSY: built for the global economy

At VOGSY, we support the complex, multi-entity needs of global project businesses like Board of Innovation. We understand that as you scale into new territories, you cannot afford to let local compliance mandates slow you down.

That is why we have integrated E-invoicing and Peppol capabilities directly into the VOGSY platform.

According to Nick Bogaert, COO at Board of Innovation: "We were keen to meet the deadline for our Belgian invoice stream, and we are happy that VOGSY was able to deliver in a very short timeframe."

Because VOGSY transmits structured data directly into your client's approval workflow:
