What Mediabat does

Mediabat is a French software company that has been operating for more than 30 years (founded in 1990) and is headquartered in Montpellier, France. The company provides a cloud-based SaaS platform, Mediabat, that enables construction artisans and small-to-medium BTP (Bâtiments et Travaux Publics) businesses to create quotes (devis), issue invoices, manage client files, track worksites, and handle regulatory-compliant accounting export. The platform is designed for and sold exclusively to French SMB construction professionals across a broad range of trades — masons, plumbers, electricians, painters, roofers, carpenters, tilers, landscapers, HVAC technicians, and interior designers — and is not addressed to enterprise or non-French customers.

The product is built as a web-based application accessible from PC, Mac, Linux, and mobile browsers, with companion iOS and Android apps (Mediabat Mobile, Batipocket) for on-site use. Its core differentiators are a 36,000-item construction works and articles library (Batichiffrage) that is fully customizable, an integrated measurement calculation module (Scanplan), and embedded compliance with French BTP-specific regulations including multi-VAT rates (5.5%, 10%, 20%), subcontracting auto-liquidation under CGI Article 283, the 2018 anti-fraud VAT law, and GDPR. A 2025 product launch added a generative AI assistant for quote preparation, included in the standard subscription. The platform is hosted on OVH European cloud infrastructure, and data is exported in FEC format compatible with Sage and EBP accounting software.

Mediabat operates a sales-assisted GTM with self-serve onboarding — a 15-day free trial, demo requests via the website, content marketing through a BTP regulatory blog, and email newsletters with free downloadable templates. Revenue comes from SaaS subscriptions billed monthly or annually, with optional add-on modules (BatiEntretien, Scanplan, purchase invoice management, statistics dashboard) at incremental cost. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external funding or parent company, and operates as a "human-sized" French team. The firm reports serving "thousands" of artisan users and is referenced in customer testimonials dating back over a decade, indicating a stable, long-tail SMB customer base.

Emerging players

• Quick Devis: French construction quote-generation software targeting SMB artisans and trades. Smaller-scope competitor with partial feature overlap on quoting and customer follow-up.
• Pennylane: French accounting and financial management SaaS expanding into vertical SMB segments. A potential indirect competitor as it adds invoicing and SMB workflow capabilities that could absorb BTP use cases.

Direct peers

• ProGBat: French estimating and invoicing tool for small construction businesses. Niche player competing for the same artisan BTP segment, especially on quotes and billing.
• Tolteck: French SaaS for construction artisans covering quoting, invoicing, and project tracking. Closest direct competitor to Mediabat in the French BTP SMB segment with overlapping feature set and target buyer.
• Obat: Cloud-based construction management software for French SMB contractors, offering quote, invoicing, and site tracking. Directly comparable vertical SaaS targeting the same artisan BTP customer base.
• BatiScript: French construction estimating and quote-management software for building professionals. Competes head-on with Mediabat on the chiffrage/devis workflow for French artisans.
• ACobat: French construction estimating and quantity-survey software for building trades. Directly comparable on the chiffrage/métrés workflow that Mediabat addresses with Scanplan and Batichiffrage.

Broad incumbents

• Sage Batigest: Sage's French construction vertical accounting and management suite. A broader incumbent with deep SMB penetration in French accounting that overlaps Mediabat's invoicing and FEC export functionality.
• EBP Bâtiment: EBP's construction-oriented SMB accounting and business management software. Established French incumbent with comparable invoicing/accounting workflow that competes for the same BTP SMB buyer.
• Cegid: Major French SMB accounting and ERP vendor with broad reach among French businesses. A broad incumbent whose expansion of construction-relevant features could overlap Mediabat's invoicing and compliance positioning.
