Arratech Peppol-as-a-Service vs Basware

Arratech Peppol-as-a-Service provides cloud infrastructure for e-invoicing and e-reporting through an API, Access Point, and SMP. Its Access Point sends and receives electronic business documents across Peppol and related networks such as DBNAlliance. Customers can choose a shared or white-labeled Access Point, and built-in validation checks documents before exchange. Supported formats include Peppol BIS, PINT, and XML, with automatic transformation for local requirements. The SMP lets customers register and manage participants who receive documents, and supports migration from other SMPs. The API connects ERP, accounting, payment, or other software to Peppol; currently released APIs support white-labeled Access Points but not SMPs. Sandbox access and Production and Test environments are available. Arratech offers a free trial with instant signup, though no duration is stated. It identifies itself as a certified Peppol Access Point and SMP provider, lists GDPR compliance, and says transmission uses TLS 1.2+ and AES-256. Pricing is on request.

Basware is a procure-to-pay platform that automates work across procurement, accounts payable, and invoice processing. Its e-invoicing tools capture invoices submitted through different supplier channels; AI can code and route them, match them against records, and handle exceptions. Procurement capabilities include hosted catalogs, supplier management, guided request intake, stock integration, and approval workflows that issue purchase orders when requisitions are approved. Basware says its solutions connect to more than 250 ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft, through open APIs and certified integrations. They can also use purchase-order data from existing procurement or ERP systems, complementing rather than replacing those systems. The platform is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with API access. Basware identifies global organizations processing more than 50,000 invoices annually, finance shared service centers, and multi-ERP environments as potential fits. Support is available by chat, web, and phone, plus a 24/7 AI-powered self-service chatbot. Pricing is tailored and available on request; no free plan is listed.
