We read the whole network continuously, so your analysis rests on measured data, not a vendor deck. The network is public infrastructure: to route a document it must resolve every participant, so adoption, provider footprints, and migrations are all publicly observable — measured the same way for every country and every provider. (Live market-read widget on the HTML page: Belgium's B2B mandate live since January 2026, live participants climbing and provider mix shifting, measured daily.) ## What an independent read of the market gives you The market, measured Every join, leave, and provider move is public in the SMP/SML layer. Scanned every day and kept as history, that becomes the three questions every advisory engagement asks: how fast is a market adopting, who serves it, and where is share moving. ### How fast each country is adopting Live participants by country, indexed, with the national mandate dates marked — the shape of a market, not a single headline. ### Who serves the market Every live participant attributed to the access point that serves it, so provider market share is a measurement, not a survey. ### Where share is moving Participants moving between providers is a spec-defined, observable event — the flow that shows who is gaining and who is losing. ## Every market on one bench Country benchmarking Benchmark any two markets on the same measured basis — adoption, recent growth, and where each national mandate sits — instead of stitching together vendor claims and press releases. The mandate calendar is real; the network figures are what you read off the live data. (Benchmark table on the HTML page: Belgium mandate live since Jan 2026, France issuance Sep 2026, Poland KSeF live Feb 2026, Germany issuance Jan 2027, Netherlands early adopter — each with an illustrative live base and 90-day growth. Every mandated market is in the app.) ## Public, but hard to read well Why the read is hard to get The signals are public, but a defensible market read is infrastructure work, not desk research. You have to scan the whole network continuously — currently 1,284 endpoints and 9M+ participants across millions of unique organizations — keep the history so you can see what changed, and join raw identifiers to company registries across countries before any of it means a country, a sector, or a size band. We already run that infrastructure to monitor the network's health. The market intelligence is what falls out of it — one measured source, updated as the network changes, that a client deliverable can actually stand on. ## How advisory teams put it to work What consultants do with it ### Market sizing Total addressable market from live participants and unique organizations, not a stale directory or a vendor's headline. ### Provider due diligence Before you shortlist an access point for a client, check its independent uptime record against the 99.5% availability bar. ### Mandate-impact monitoring Watch a mandate land in near real time: the daily wave of new registrations the week reception or issuance switches on. ### Competitive and M&A analysis Provider share by segment and country, and who is gaining or losing it — the read behind a competitive teardown or an access-point acquisition case. ### Trend charts your deliverables can cite Kept history turns into the long-run adoption and share curves that go straight into a board pack or a market report — sourced to one measured dataset. ## Questions advisors ask FAQ ### Where does the market data come from? The public Peppol SMP and SML layer, scanned continuously, joined to public national company registries. Every participant that resolves on the network is measured the same way — so a figure for one country or provider is comparable to any other, not stitched together from vendor decks. ### Can we put these figures in client deliverables and published reports? Yes. The Market tier is built for exactly that — market sizing, provider benchmarks, and adoption trends you can cite in advisory decks, due-diligence memos, and market reports, sourced to one independent dataset. ### How current is it? The network is rescanned continuously; new registrations, provider migrations, and status changes surface within a day. History is kept, so you get both the live picture and the trend behind it. ### Is this independent of the providers you report on? Yes. We measure every access point and provider on the network the same way, from the outside, with the methodology disclosed on the about page — so a provider benchmark is not the provider's own claim. Built from public network metadata and public company registries, measured independently, with the methodology disclosed on [the about page](/about/). ## Brief your clients from measured data Advise with evidence ### Read the whole market Country adoption curves, provider market share and movement, and the historical depth behind them — the Market tier, ready for your next client engagement. - [Create account](https://app.peppolstatus.com/sign-up) - [See the Market tier](/#pricing) - [hello@peppolstatus.com](mailto:hello@peppolstatus.com)
