What Foliatech does

Foliatech (Groupe Foliatech) is a privately held French software publisher founded in 2014 and headquartered in Vienne, France. The company develops and distributes cloud-based management software for very small and medium-sized businesses, with two flagship products: AxioBat, an ERP 360° specialized for construction (BTP) SMBs covering detailed estimation, construction-site financial tracking, and GANTT planning; and Artinove, a mobile-first management application for artisans, independents, and service providers supporting quotes, electronic signatures, invoicing, and stock management, operational within 20 minutes. Both products include native compliance with France's mandatory electronic invoicing reform effective 2026, implemented via integration with iOPOLE's certified platform.

The business operates on a SaaS subscription model with quote-based pricing (not publicly disclosed), layered on top of a 100% internalized value chain spanning R&D, implementation, and customer support. Distribution combines self-serve website sales with a structured partner ecosystem of certified partners, ambassadors, and independent partners trained by Foliatech's Qualiopi-certified internal training department, plus consultative direct sales for custom enterprise builds. The company reports 51,138+ active users across its portfolio and claims 42%+ reinvestment in R&D, with all customer data hosted exclusively in French Tier 3+ datacenters under TLS 1.3 encryption and MFA/VPN access controls.

Foliatech's customer base is concentrated in the French SMB segment, particularly BTP/construction SMBs (e.g., SARL Lafargue, Konnect Systems Group, METALBAT, Groupe Pastorello) with adjacent exposure to artisans and select custom engagements (e.g., Emmaüs SOS Familles). Commercial differentiation rests on regulatory compliance (2026 electronic invoicing), French data sovereignty, BTP domain specialization, and the ability to deliver custom modules through an internalized development chain. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no M&A history, and no parent-company relationships identified in the source material.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Tiime: Tiime is a French SaaS combining accounting, invoicing, and business management for SMBs. It targets an overlapping French-SMB and independent-professional audience as Artinove, with similar e-invoicing 2026 compliance positioning.
• Pennylane: Pennylane is a fast-growing French accounting/financial platform for SMBs and accountants. It competes for the same French SMB wallet and overlaps with Foliatech on e-invoicing 2026 positioning, though without BTP vertical specialization.
• Indy: Indy is a French SaaS for freelancer and micro-business accounting and invoicing. It competes most directly with Artinove on the artisan/independent segment's invoicing and compliance workflows.
• Tolteck: Tolteck is a French estimating and quoting SaaS for small construction trades. It addresses the front-end (devis/chiffrage) of Axiobat's value chain for a similar micro-business artisan audience as Artinove.
• Sellsy: Sellsy is a French all-in-one CRM, invoicing, and automation platform for SMBs. It overlaps with Artinove on quoting/invoicing and competes for similar French-SMB buyers, though without BTP focus.

Direct peers

• Alobees: Alobees is a French construction-management SaaS for SMB contractors, focused on site tracking, planning, and reporting. It overlaps with Axiobat on the chantier/project-execution layer, though it is lighter on full ERP functionality.
• EBTP (BatiScript): EBTP / BatiScript is a French ERP dedicated to construction and public-works SMEs, offering estimating, job costing, and project tracking. It is the most direct vertical competitor to Axiobat within the French BTP-TPE-PME segment.

Broad incumbents

• Odoo: Odoo is an open-source all-in-one ERP/CRM suite widely adopted by French SMBs. It overlaps with both Axiobat and Artinove as a horizontal platform, though it lacks Foliatech's BTP-specific depth and pre-integrated French e-invoicing compliance.
• Sage: Sage is a global SMB accounting and ERP incumbent with a strong French presence (Sage Batigest for BTP). It competes with Axiobat in the same construction-SMB ERP category but at much broader scale and with less vertical specialization.

Others

• iOPOLE: iOPOLE is a French certified electronic-invoicing platform and Foliatech's named strategic partner. While not a direct competitor, it is the regulatory-compliance backbone for Axiobat/Artinove and shapes Foliatech's 2026 go-to-market.
