The Docoon gray brand: a hidden engine in your solution
For these publishers, the Docoon gray label acts as an integrated electronic invoicing engine under the hood of their software. The principle is simple: their customers continue to use their usual ERP or business application, while Docoon takes care of the entire regulatory and technical chain (formats, controls, transmission, archiving) in the background.
The publisher remains the sole point of contact and retains its brand on the customer side, but relies on a PA that is already approved and scaled to handle thousands of feeds. This model allows them to quickly launch a compliant, robust, and scalable offering without tying up their teams on an infrastructure project.

Compliance riskGrey mark: 3 essential questions
Q1 – Why did these publishers choose the gray brand rather than an internally developed PA?
Because the gray brand offers them the best compromise between control and simplicity: they retain control over the interface, customer relations, and business messaging, while delegating the most costly and risky part—regulatory compliance, security, and 24/7 platform operation—to Docoon. This saves them several years of development and certification time.
Q2 – Does the gray label limit the publisher's ability to evolve its product roadmap?
On the contrary, by freeing technical teams from tasks related to approval, regulatory updates, and infrastructure management, gray branding allows them to focus on the functional evolution of their solution: ergonomics, new business modules, complementary integrations, analytics, etc.
Q3 – What does the end customer actually see when a publisher uses Docoon PA as a white label?
The end customer always uses their publisher's interface, with its menus, screens, and graphic identity. The only difference is that, in the background, their invoices are created in the correct formats, checked, transmitted, and archived via Docoon PA, and the publisher indicates that its electronic invoicing solution is powered by a trusted partner. They therefore benefit from a smooth and familiar experience, with the added guarantee of compliance with the electronic invoicing reform. The partnership is clearly stated: You announce the approved partner: transparency and trust.
