Process automation, custom AI development, and workflow engineering for Dutch businesses ready to stop doing things manually.
Email arrives with a PDF invoice. Our AI extracts every field, validates the data, generates Peppol-compliant UBL XML, and books it directly into Exact Online. No human in between.
15h manual weekly → 2h oversight. 98% field accuracy in production.
Our AI reads supplier invoices like a human — company name, VAT number, line items, amounts — and validates every field before it touches your accounting system.
Build this for your businessGenerates Peppol-compliant UBL XML and books directly into Exact Online via API. Supplier matching, VAT handling, and exception logging all automated.
Let's automate your bookkeepingWe don't have a product catalogue. We identify the process costing you the most and engineer the system that eliminates it.
AI pipelines that extract, validate, and book documents automatically. Email arrives, Exact Online gets updated. No data entry, no re-keying, no manual steps.
Custom relationship management built around how your business actually works.
End-to-end automation of multi-step processes. Trigger to outcome, zero manual hand-offs.
Connect your tools so data flows automatically. Reports that generate themselves.
Route and categorise data without human review.
Portals, tools, internal systems. Pain → software.
We'll tell you if we can automate it. No commitment, no sales deck. Just a direct conversation.
Start the conversationWe map your most painful manual process — exact steps, exact friction, exact cost in hours and errors. Not with a survey. With a conversation.
We architect the automated system. What data comes in, what decisions it makes, what actions it takes. Specificity before a single line of code.
We develop, test, and iterate until the system works reliably. Working software — not prototypes, not POCs that never reach production.
We go live, monitor closely, and handle edge cases. Full handover with documentation and direct support.
We improve based on real-world performance and identify the next process worth automating.
Why Digital Pepper
The UBL Creator was our own problem first. We built it, ran it in production, proved it works — then offered it to clients. When we say it's ready, we mean it.
Through Boekhoudoe, we understand Dutch SME financial operations from the inside. We build what will actually solve the underlying problem.
Consultancies think but don't build. Developers build but don't think. We do both. Working software is how we close every engagement.
Real adoption means being there for the edge cases that only appear in production. We support, iterate, and improve.
Tell us what it is. We'll tell you if we can automate it and what that looks like. No commitment, no sales deck. Just a direct conversation about your specific problem.

About
TheDigitalPepper was built on a simple conviction: most businesses don't fail at digital transformation because they lack ambition — they fail because nobody builds the actual thing.
We started by solving our own problem. Boekhoudoe was spending 15+ hours a week on manual invoice processing. Instead of buying a tool, we built one. The UBL Creator runs in production today and proved our approach before we ever sold it to a client.
That's the model. We identify a real process pain, we architect the automated solution, and we ship working software that eliminates it. Based in Tilburg, working with Dutch MKB and scale-ups.
Our principles
We prove solutions work before offering them to clients.
We'd rather solve one process completely than half-solve five.
Every engagement ends with working software. Not a roadmap.
We're there for the edge cases that only appear in production.
