Organisations choose eConnect as Access Point because reliability, scale and Peppol expertise come together in one service. As co-founder of the Dutch Peppol Authority and board member of OpenPeppol, eConnect is directly involved in standards development. That translates into faster implementation of changes and fewer surprises for your operational teams. You do not have to constantly follow all technical and governance updates yourself.

In daily practice, you see this reflected in the infrastructure. eConnect operates multiple active Access Points, where traffic is automatically distributed and taken over in case of failure. With large document volumes per year and thousands of connected organisations, the scale is demonstrably proven in production. You can start via portal, software integration or API, depending on what fits your process.

That combination of scale and flexibility makes it easier to execute both short implementations and longer transition paths in a controlled manner.

Multiple Access Points primarily give you continuity, because failure of one point does not immediately stop your invoice flow. In a single-point setup, a single point of failure arises more quickly. With a multi-point setup, traffic is distributed and another point can take over during maintenance or outages. This reduces the operational risk of delayed or undelivered messages.

For finance and supplier management, this matters more than it might seem on paper. A brief disruption around month-end can directly lead to backlogs in matching, approval and payment. With redundancy, the chain keeps running while technical teams resolve issues in the background. Your partners usually notice nothing of such a failover, because routing happens automatically.

This lets you not only demonstrate reliability technically, but also translate it into more stable lead times and fewer escalations towards suppliers. For organisations with critical payment processes, this is often a hard requirement.

Yes, eConnect is suitable for organisations of various sizes, because you can start with a simple route and scale up later without switching platforms. For a quick start, there is the invoice portal without technical setup. If you work with existing accounting software, you can connect via standard integrations. For your own applications, an API route is available.

That flexibility is relevant as your process matures in stages. Many organisations start with invoices only and later add order messages, status updates and extra validation. In sectors with stricter requirements, such as government, healthcare or construction, it helps that certifications and compliance processes are already in place. This means you need to organise less yourself to meet internal governance requirements.

You can therefore choose one platform that fits your volume today and still matches growing functional and organisational needs tomorrow.

For your organisation, this means a tighter process with fewer handover moments and clearer follow-up on exceptions. Staff spend more time on high-impact controls, while daily processing remains predictable as volume and complexity grow.

Yes, as a software vendor you can offer Peppol via a white-label arrangement, operating under eConnect's certificate. This means you do not need to go through your own certification process to still offer your customers a certified connection. You retain the customer contact and product experience, while the network and compliance layer is centrally managed. This usually shortens the time-to-market of your Peppol proposition.

Technically you connect via the PSB REST API with documentation, authentication and notifications for processing status. This lets you incorporate Peppol functionality into your existing workflow without a separate portal for end users. For customers it feels like one integrated solution in your software. For your team it means less maintenance on network protocols and certificate management.

This also makes the solution commercially attractive, because you can onboard new customers faster without building your own compliance and infrastructure team.

For your organisation, this means a tighter process with fewer handover moments and clearer follow-up on exceptions. Staff spend more time on high-impact controls, while daily processing remains predictable as volume and complexity grow.

eConnect meets a broad package of certifications that is unusually comprehensive in the Dutch Peppol market. We are certified for ISO 27001, the international standard for information security that is mandatory in the Netherlands for Peppol Service Providers. In addition, we hold NEN 7510, the additional standard for information security in healthcare, and ISAE 3402 Type II, an independent assurance statement on internal controls.

That combination is relevant for organisations in sectors with strict requirements for their suppliers. Healthcare institutions, government bodies and financial institutions regularly ask for these certifications before entering into a collaboration. With eConnect as Access Point, you can demonstrate to your own stakeholders and auditor that your invoicing chain is provably managed.

In addition, we conduct annual independent penetration tests to verify the security of our infrastructure. As co-founder of the Dutch Peppol Authority (NPa) and board member of OpenPeppol, we are also directly involved in the development of security and compliance standards for the Peppol network.
