Peppol-accredited e-invoicing Services
The National Health Service (NHS) took on responsibility as the Peppol Authority for the United Kingdom at the start of 2016.
By April 2016, the NHS commenced delivery of its responsibilities as the Peppol Authority in England, with the aim of making the whole of England e-invoicing compliant.
The Peppol e-invoicing standard adopted by the British government is an internationally established framework that allows invoices to be exchanged between different Accounting systems. Link4 is an international, leading e-invoicing service provider that has been Peppol-certified across different countries.
The British government has not made e-invoicing mandatory but they are heavily encouraging businesses (both large and small) in the private sector as well as public sector entities to become e-invoicing ready.
E-invoicing is becoming an essential digital and financial tool for organisations of all levels in the Government sector. Switching to e-invoicing results in reduced processing costs, avoiding time-waste and administration delays, streamlined invoice processing, and improved trading relationships.

We are experts at implementing e-invoicing and working with already integrated business systems. If you are using large ERP systems such as TechnologyOne, Civica or Microsoft Dynamics, or if you are using Cloud-based Accounting systems such as QuickBooks, MYOB, Xero, MoneyWorks, etc., we have got the expertise and experience to enable e-invoicing for your government entity.

ERP Integration
Connected Software Systems
Export PDF, XML and CSV
If a department or agency is not ready for a complete integration with their ERP or Accounting system but needs to be e-invoice compliant, Link4 can support them to become Peppol-ready in a quick and easy way.
Your organisation can choose to export or download incoming e-invoices to an appropriate format (PDF, XML or CSV) and then process the invoice as usual.
Security is important to us!
Here at Link4, we take security very seriously. With the rise of security threats around the world, we use several 3rd party tools to run security tests and check our product against various threats. We have also implemented monitoring tools from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to monitor our infrastructure security.
In addition, all members of our team undergo regular training sessions throughout the year to ensure we are aware of any potential security threats and what protocols to follow, ensuring all the latest security measures are being implemented on the Link4 e-invoicing solutions.
