Case Study: Jernbaneverket (Norwegian National Rail Administration) achieves faster, more reliable public procurement with OpusCapita's PEPPOL-compliant e‑invoicing solution

More Reliable And Faster Processes In Public Procurement Through Peppol Compliant E-Invoicing

Jernbaneverket, the Norwegian National Rail Administration, needed more reliable and faster procurement processes to protect infrastructure delivery and comply with the government's e‑commerce strategy and the requirement to procure 25% of purchase volume electronically. In 2008 Jernbaneverket engaged OpusCapita to increase electronic invoice volumes; the agreed solution evolved into a PEPPOL‑compliant e‑invoicing implementation using standardized EHF/XML formats.

OpusCapita implemented an end‑to‑end e‑invoicing service, acting as a PEPPOL Service Provider and Access Point and helping suppliers migrate to the new infrastructure. As a result, OpusCapita enabled standardized e‑invoices, optimized invoice management and smoother, faster, more transparent procurement—with reduced costs, improved connectivity to the market and compliance with the 25% electronic procurement requirement and subsequent B2G e‑invoicing mandate.
