What e2time.com does

e2time.com (legal entity E2TIME.COM SAS) is a French software publisher founded in 2010 and headquartered in Rosny-sous-Bois (Greater Paris), providing a 100% SaaS HRIS/GTA platform specializing in time and activity management, leave and absence tracking, attendance and scheduling, expense management, project management, and an HR portal with contract generation. The platform is modular — sold as five core modules (Congés et Absences, Présences et Plannings, Portail RH, Notes de Frais, Gestion de Projets) augmented by optional clock-in hardware (badge, biometric, IP, smartphone), payroll export add-ons, and integrations with major French/European payroll software (Silae, Sage, Cegid, Pégase, ADP, HR Access, Equatis). Technical architecture is web-based with native iOS and Android applications, API-first connectivity, eIDAS-compliant probative archiving via Universign, Klippa-powered OCR for receipt capture, and hosting on OVHcloud (ISO 27001/ISO 27701/HDS/SecNumCloud certified). The platform is localized in 8 languages and serves 450+ customer companies with 70,000+ active users.

The company's revenue model is SaaS subscription for the software layer complemented by hardware sales for physical clock-in devices. Go-to-market is sales-led with inside sales backed by website-driven demo requests and a 15-day free trial (PLG trial entry point), augmented by a partner channel ("expert partner network") and a GTM relationship with ANDRH, the French national HR directors' association. Target customers span small, medium, and large enterprises across France and Europe, with explicit vertical positioning in retail, healthcare/medical, hospitality/restaurants, industry/manufacturing, and public administrations/associations. The company is privately held, structured as a French SAS, with no disclosed external funding rounds, no parent company, and a single disclosed leadership figure (Didier Lalo as legal representative). The business is bootstrapped and operating as a going concern with continuous product investment evidenced by multiple mobile app releases through 2023.

Broad incumbents

• Silae: Leading French payroll software vendor with native time-tracking capabilities and a large installed base. Functions both as e2time's payroll integration partner and as a competitive suite owner of time management functionality.
• Cegid: Major French HR/payroll SaaS vendor with broad HRMS suite including time and attendance modules. Overlaps e2time on time management but bundles it into a much larger enterprise platform and is a payroll export partner.
• ADP: Global payroll and HR services giant offering time & attendance as part of broader workforce management suites. Indirectly competes via bundled enterprise offerings; ADP is also among e2time's payroll export destinations.
• Sage HR: Global HR/payroll vendor with Sage HR modules including leave and time tracking in France. Competes as a bundled incumbent; also listed among e2time's payroll export partners.
• UKG (Kronos): Global workforce management and HCM vendor providing time clocks, scheduling, and HR at enterprise scale. Comparable on the time-and-attendance core and on hardware clock bundling, but at much larger enterprise customer sizes.

Direct peers

• Personio: Germany-founded European HRIS targeting SMB and mid-market with time tracking, attendance, leave, and HR modules. Comparable SaaS HRIS model across Europe, though with broader HRMS scope and substantially more venture funding.
• Bodet Software: French vendor of time & attendance software and hardware clocks (badges, biometric terminals). Directly overlaps e2time on the GTA-with-hardware proposition and shares the French mid-market customer base.
• Skello: French SaaS workforce management platform specializing in shift planning and scheduling for hospitality, retail, and healthcare. Directly comparable on the presence/planning module and overlapping target verticals.
• Lucca: French SaaS publisher offering SIRH modules including leave management, time tracking, expense notes, and HR portal for SMB/mid-market. Most direct head-to-head competitor in the French HRIS space with overlapping leave/absence and expense functionality.

Emerging players

• Bizneo: Spanish HR SaaS suite with time tracking, shift planning, and leave modules serving Iberia and Latin America. Comparable module set and SaaS delivery model, with narrower vertical depth than e2time.
