What iopole does

iopole is a French electronic invoicing and e-reporting platform registered as a Plateforme Agréée (PA) by DGFiP (immatriculation confirmed December 11, 2025) and as a Peppol Certified Service Provider. The company provides API-first infrastructure exclusively to software publishers — accounting, ERP, POS, document management, and e-commerce platforms — who need to integrate French regulatory compliance (mandatory electronic invoicing reception from September 2026, SME emission from September 2027) and cross-border e-invoicing into their products. Its product suite centers on a REST API for invoice emission, reception, lifecycle status tracking (CDV), and e-reporting (Flux 10.1-10.4) routed through native integrations with the French Portail Public de Facturation, Chorus Pro (B2G), and Mercurius (Belgian B2G). The platform supports UBL, CII, Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, JSON, and EDIFACT formats and is hosted on SecNumCloud-certified French infrastructure with ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, and qualified electronic signature and NF461-compliant legal archiving modules.

The business operates a B2B2B go-to-market: iopole does not sell to end enterprises but rather integrates with software publishers via API (grey-label "Solution Compatible") or operates full white-label Peppol Access Points and Plateformes Agréées on behalf of partner brands. Approximately 15% of certified French PAs operate in white-label mode on iopole infrastructure. Revenue mechanics combine API/usage subscriptions, white-label/OEM licensing, and per-transaction processing fees. Named publisher integrations include Axonaut, Symtrax, Vertuoza, LSE, Koesio/Summeo, Flexina, Stafiz (ERP), and Chift (POS middleware), with co-marketing alliances through France Digitale and IFEC. The company is privately held, founder-led (Dorian Keiflin as Président, Nicolas Saudemont as Co-founder and Commercial Director), bootstrapped with share capital of €70,590 and no disclosed external funding or parent entity, operating from Pérols near Montpellier with a headcount of 1-10 employees while processing 150+ million invoices per year across 10+ countries.

Distribution runs through a content-and-developer-relations engine — blog, webinars with DGFiP, industry presence (Archimag, France Digitale, IFEC), YouTube, newsletter, and comprehensive API documentation including a free labs.iopole.io sandbox — supplemented by direct sales for large software publishers and white-label PA partners. Current operational scale includes 99.9% uptime SLA, 572,164 appropriated legal entities in the French directory (growing by 17,880 entities per week), and active preparation for Peppol G3 PKI migration ahead of schedule.

Core offering

Iopole operates an API-first, 100% SaaS electronic invoicing and e-reporting platform for software publishers, ERP vendors, accounting platforms, POS vendors and e-commerce integrators. The platform combines a DGFiP-registered Plateforme Agréée (PA) with a certified Peppol Access Point / SMP, exposed via REST API so partners can embed compliant invoice emission, reception, status tracking, e-reporting (Flux 10.1–10.4), KYC/KYB onboarding, qualified signature/seal and NF461 legal archiving into their own products.

Product overview

Iopole is an API-first SaaS platform providing end-to-end electronic invoicing and e-reporting infrastructure for software publishers and enterprises. The core offering consists of a Plateforme Agréée (PA) — a DGFiP-certified e-invoicing platform — combined with a certified Peppol Access Point for international connectivity. The platform is architected as a modular suite: the core PA handles invoice emission, reception, PPF/Chorus Pro submission, and lifecycle tracking; it is complemented by add-on modules including a KYC/KYB onboarding module (available standalone or integrated), Iopole Labs sandbox, qualified electronic signature and seal, legal archiving (NF461), and white-label PA options. The product portfolio centers on regulatory compliance automation — handling format validation (UBL, CII, Factur-X, ZUGFeRD, JSON), Peppol routing, e-reporting Flux 10 blocks, and identity verification — delivered entirely via API to software publishers and ERP vendors.
