How it works
Peppol is not just another EDI standard; it's a global network. Get your invoicing workflow fully automated and compliant. Crossfire is a registered Peppol Service Provider and Access Point to allow you immediate access to all trading partners which exist on the Peppol e-Delivery Network.
Compliance
Mandates arrive market by market. Each one sets its own format, scope and deadline, and none of them wait for your finance system to catch up. Supply government agencies in New Zealand or Australia and some of these dates already apply to you. The same goes if you trade into Europe, Singapore or Malaysia.
Pick your market and see which dates apply to your business. Rules current as at August 2026.

"It’s so easy to work with the team. The software is easy to use & timings are on point every time with accuracy. Communication is key for us, especially with the time difference in countries. It hasn’t felt like that though, everything is so accurate and communication is at the top level."
Luke Ward
Former Management Accountant at Au Vodka
"Back in our start-up days we had a need to partner with an EDI Provider to service the major retailers. Crossfire handled all the technical side of things, making it really easy to connect with our retail trading partners. It’s helped us keep the team lean but scale at the same time adding new customers and products along the way."

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is a set of standards and a network that enables businesses and government entities to exchange electronic documents, primarily invoices, in a standardised and secure way across Europe and beyond.
Using Peppol eInvoicing offers numerous benefits, including compliance with government mandates, simplified cross-border trade, reduced costs, improved efficiency, enhanced accuracy, and secure document exchange.
Peppol eInvoicing is becoming increasingly mandated or preferred by government entities in many countries, particularly in Europe and Australia/New Zealand. See the mandate table above for the current dates in each market.
Yes, Crossfire can integrate its Peppol eInvoicing solutions with a wide range of accounting, ERP, and other business systems so invoices flow straight into the ledger you already use. See the full list of connected systems.
The cost of Crossfire's Peppol eInvoicing services depends on your specific needs and the volume of e-invoices you process.
Contact us for a Peppol eInvoicing consultation.
Your NZBN works as your Peppol ID. When you connect through an accredited access point, your provider registers your NZBN on the network and publishes it so other businesses can find you and send you invoices. There is no separate identifier to apply for.
No. There is no federal B2B eInvoicing mandate, and adoption there runs through the DBNAlliance network, which is separate from Peppol. If you sell into the European Union, cross-border invoices will need to meet the EN 16931 standard by July 2030.
EDI connects you directly to a specific trading partner, usually a large retailer with its own document requirements. Peppol connects you once to a shared network, and any business or agency registered on it can receive your invoices without a separate agreement each time. Plenty of businesses run both, using EDI for retailers and Peppol for government and general B2B.
It applies if your revenue passed NZ$33 million in each of the two previous accounting periods and you invoice government agencies. From that date, agencies must require their large suppliers to send eInvoices through Peppol. The mandate finder above will show you where you sit.
