Understand Peppol invoicing

This information is designed to help you understand the results generated as part of the eInvoicing value assessment calculator.

Note: This page is to be read in conjunction with the eInvoicing value assessment calculator results. We welcome feedback on the assessment and this report.

This assessment provides insights for determining how Peppol eInvoicing can benefit your organisation. It will help you contextualise and articulate the value of Peppol for your business, including potential savings and other benefits, such as:

  • improving cyber security
  • performance on environmental, social and governance objectives, and
  • compliance with reporting obligations such as the Payment Times Reporting Scheme.

Each business environment is unique, so this report doesn't seek to address all your unique circumstances. However, it will encourage conversations with internal stakeholders to start using Peppol in the organisation.

Use the value assessment calculator results and this report to develop a business case for Peppol adoption in your organisation.

While any business could use this assessment, it is designed for medium to large businesses that handle a high volume of invoices (25,000 or more) – including those that send, receive, or both.

This assessment provides insights based on a one-year scenario. The total number of invoices and the adoption rate help determine your savings, the return on investment and payback period in relation to the first year of adoption.

If your invoice volumes are low, these indicators could be low or negative in the first year, however your business will still benefit over time through improved operational efficiency and enhanced protection against invoice-related scams.
