Invoice Navigator
Invoice Navigator is a compliance API that sits between your ERP export and your access point. It validates against 1,300+ rules, remediates structural errors with financial-field blocking, revalidates via KoSIT, and returns a signed Evidence Pack per invoice.
ecosio
ecosio is a managed document exchange platform. It converts between 50+ format types and routes documents via Peppol and other networks. It owns the delivery layer, not the compliance layer.
Key Differences Explained
Remediation vs Conversion
Invoice Navigator remediates errors (fixes structural issues while protecting financial fields). ecosio converts between formats (transforms one format into another). These are different operations: remediation fixes compliance issues within a format, conversion changes the format itself.
API-first vs Platform
Invoice Navigator is a pure API that integrates into your existing pipeline. ecosio is a managed platform where documents flow through their infrastructure. The choice depends on whether you want to own your pipeline or outsource document exchange.
Audit Evidence
Invoice Navigator generates Evidence Packs per invoice with cryptographic verification. ecosio provides compliance monitoring dashboards but not per-invoice audit certificates.
When to Use Invoice Navigator
- ·You're building or operating an invoice pipeline and need compliance checking built in
- ·You need automated error remediation with safety guarantees
- ·You need per-invoice audit evidence (Evidence Packs)
- ·You want self-service API access without a sales process
When to Use ecosio
- ·You need a managed Peppol access point
- ·You need format conversion between many document types
- ·You want fully managed document exchange infrastructure
- ·You're connecting to multiple e-invoicing networks (not just Peppol)
Can You Use Both?
Yes. ecosio handles document routing and network connectivity while Invoice Navigator handles validation and remediation. If you use ecosio as your Peppol access point, you can run invoices through Invoice Navigator's API for compliance checking and remediation before sending them through ecosio.
