Our partnership

with Xero

At Bamboo Sea, we partner with Xero to accelerate the adoption of Peppol. The Peppol framework allows direct transmission of e-invoices from one finance system to another without human intervention, speeding up invoice processing which results in faster payment. This also greatly reduces the time spent in verifying invoices and chasing for payment.

In Xero, this is as simple as the sender creating an invoice in Xero, sent via the secure Peppol network, and the customer receives the invoice in their accounting system, ready to be reviewed, approved, and paid.
