How to choose a e-invoicing delivery-service provider?
Short answer
Choose a e-invoicing delivery-service provider (Peppol Access Point) according to your scenario, not according to the price. Key areas for comparison: supplier role (provider vs. intermediary), scope of service (only delivery vs. entire invoicing process), level of integration and format (Peppol BIS/EN 16931), security and legislative compliance (VPDS certification, § 76a credibility and archiving, GDPR), bulk processing, received invoices and error handling, approval, multi-company management, archive and reports, SLA and sandbox, exit plan, and finally the pricing model and total cost (TCO). A sole proprietor, a small business, an accounting office and a company with ERP need completely different combinations of these features.
Official VPDS status
Check whether the supplier or its partner is listed in the official list of certified delivery service providers or intermediaries at vpds.financnasprava.sk — our comparison overview will provide you with practical context (price, integrations, experience).
A real role
Ask who is the Access Point, who is the intermediary, who provides the archive and who has operational responsibility in the event of an incident.
Integration
Excel, PDF, ERP, API, SFTP, webhooks, exports for accounting and working with rejected documents decide more than a nice form.
States and evidence
You need to know if the invoice was validated, sent, received, rejected, corrected and who approved the change.
