Peppol
The Peppol Network is one of the largest and oldest eDelivery networks facilitating the exchange of electronic business documents in B2B and B2G environments in 65 countries. Managed by OpenPeppol, a non-profit international Association, as its governaning entity, Peppol acts as a global interoperability ecosystem with its own governance, standards and operations. This eDelivery network is based on standardised communication among Access Points, operated by commercial service Providers enabling and ensuring seamless connectivity and data exchange between buyers and sellers that use Peppol Service Providers.
Peppol logistics domain
As of 2024 the Peppol four-corner model environment, where data is exchanged between access points operated by commercial service providers, can be used for exchanging logistics data in addition to invoicing and ordering. This new service domain addresses the complexity of logistics, which involves multiple actors, industries and business processes, with a standardised approach that can be adopted globally and regionally to improve visibility and transparency in the supply chain.
Transition to federated SML
Currently Peppol relies on the European Commission’s Service Metadata Locator (SML) service. With increasing usage, Peppol is working with DIGIT to transition from a centralised to a federated SML. The evolving architecture have been discussing during eInvoicing and eProcurement Conference in May 2024, and eDelivery presentation can is available here.
Peppol ViDA Pilot
Peppol ViDA pilot demonstrates how the Peppol eInvoice specifications and the Peppol Network can meet the expectations of the Digital Reporting Requirements (DRR) outlined in the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) directive, which mandates the use of electronic invoicing and VAT reporting for cross-border transactions within the EU. In the ViDA pilot Peppol together with tax administrations, service providers and businesses are piloting a five-corner model to include regulatory reporting (enabling tax and other types of reporting through the network).

EMSWe
EMSWe – The European Maritime Single Window environment integrates national reporting systems into a coherent, interoperable framework and streamlines and harmonises the reporting obligations for ships arriving at and departing from EU ports. Established by Regulation (EU) 2019/1239 the EMSWe will apply from August 15, 2025 and is a game changer for ship operators, and all national authorities involved in a port call. EMSWe ensures that the data is provided in the same way across the EU and only needs to be provided once. Ship operators will be able to send their data to a Member State’s (MS) Maritime National Single Window (MNSW) using harmonised interfaces, notably the Reporting Interface Module (RIM) based on eDelivery. The EMSWe is in the late stages of development and Member States are starting the deployment phase.
