Arratech Peppol-as-a-Service vs Peppox

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.
