Visma is merging four of its e-invoicing subsidiaries — Inexchange, Maventa, mySupply and efacto — under the unified Inexchange brand, effective 1 October 2026. The resulting entity claims the title of Europe’s largest Peppol provider, according to the official Visma announcement. Finnish operator OWS will join the group in August 2026, ahead of the formal October consolidation date.
Context: four brands, one shared network infrastructure
Inexchange (Sweden), Maventa (Finland), mySupply and efacto have operated as separate entities within the Visma group, each with its own customer base, Peppol certifications and ERP connectors. That fragmentation reflected Visma’s typical growth-by-acquisition model, but created operational complexity for enterprise customers and ISV partners that had to manage multiple contracts and multiple APIs.
The Inexchange brand — the oldest of the four — has been chosen as the single trading name going forward. Allan Freiheit will head the merged entity. The stated goals: consolidate AI investment, expand country-level regulatory coverage, and offer a unified platform to SMEs, large enterprises, the public sector and ERP partners.
Impact on businesses
For existing customers of the four brands, Visma’s message is clear: no immediate changes to contracts, services or account management. Any platform migrations will be communicated in advance. Caution is nonetheless warranted — a consolidation of this scale typically leads, over a 12–18 month horizon, to rationalised pricing tiers and API deprecations. IT leaders renewing a Maventa or mySupply contract in the coming months should negotiate a data portability clause now.
For ERP vendors and ISVs that rely on these access points, the merger simplifies commercial negotiations: one counterpart for Nordic and parts of continental European coverage. The symmetrical risk is increased dependence on a single dominant actor within the Peppol network.
For SMEs that have not yet migrated to e-invoicing, the emergence of a consolidated operator accelerates connector standardisation. Peppol integrations in ERP systems across the EU frequently route through intermediary access points — Maventa and Inexchange among the most common. A unified platform reduces technical friction, but also shrinks the pool of alternatives if pricing rises or service issues emerge.
What to watch
The key date is 1 October 2026, the effective merger date per the Visma announcement. Between now and then, two secondary milestones: the OWS–Maventa integration in August 2026, and customer communications on any portal or API changes.
At a structural level, the Inexchange consolidation fits squarely within the ViDA (VAT in the Digital Age) trajectory: the EU directive mandates electronic invoicing for cross-border B2B transactions by 2030. Large Peppol networks like the merged Inexchange are positioning themselves as critical infrastructure for that transition. The practical question for IT and procurement managers: is your current access point within the merged perimeter, and will your contract be renewed on the same terms?
