The Access Point Opportunity

Access Points (APs) are the gateways to the Peppol network. But moving data is a commodity; value-added services are where the growth is. APs are perfectly positioned to offer archiving as a premium service.

Why Bundling Makes Sense

  • Seamless Experience: Customers don't want a separate vendor for storage; they want a "one-stop shop".
  • Stickiness: Archiving is a long-term commitment (7-10 years), significantly reducing customer churn.
  • Recurring Revenue: Monthly storage fees create a predictable, high-margin revenue stream.
  • Differentiation: Stand out from "transport-only" competitors by offering full lifecycle compliance.

  • White-Label Options

    Our white-label program is designed for seamless integration into your existing platform.

    API-First Integration

    Embed archiving features directly into your dashboard. Your customers never leave your branded environment.
  • Single Sign-On (SSO): Frictionless access for your users.
  • Custom Branding: Your logo, your colors, your domain.
  • Unified Billing: You bill the customer; we bill you.
  • Features You Can Offer

  • 10-year compliant storage
  • Advanced search and retrieval
  • One-click audit export
  • eIDAS qualified timestamping

  • Revenue Models

    Flexibility is key to maximizing adoption.

    1. Per-Document Pricing

    Charge a small fee (e.g., €0.05 - €0.10) per archived invoice. Best for SMEs with low volume.

    2. Tiered Storage Plans

  • Basic: 7-year retention, standard search.
  • Pro: 10-year retention, advanced search, API access.
  • Enterprise: Custom retention, dedicated support, SLA.
  • 3. Bundled Connectivity

    Include archiving in your "Premium" connectivity tier to drive upsells from basic plans.

    Go-to-Market Strategy

    How to sell archiving to your existing base:
  • 1Audit Readiness: "Are you ready for a tax audit tomorrow?"
  • 2Compliance Fear: Highlight the risks of non-compliant storage (fines, lost input VAT).
  • 3Simplicity: "You're already sending invoices with us—store them with us too."
  • Getting Started
