Strengths

- Certified PEPPOL access point with multi-country compliance covering CTC mandates
- Part of a broader automation portfolio (Tungsten Automation, formerly Kofax)
Watch-outs
- Multiple brand/ownership changes (OB10 → Tungsten Network → Kofax → Tungsten Automation) worth clarifying during evaluation
- Centralized network model: supplier onboarding and any associated fees may vary by contract
- Exact format breadth and per-country coverage should be validated with the vendor (2026)
