What Memsoft does

Memsoft SAS is a French independent software publisher founded in 1984 and headquartered in Villeneuve-en-Retz (Loire-Atlantique). The company develops and distributes Oxygène, an integrated Windows-native business management suite covering accounting, commercial management, CRM, payroll (up to 600 employees), fixed-asset management, manufacturing, project/job costing, and training-center management. The platform is built on a proprietary C++ class-based runtime and framework, runs on Windows 11 or Server 2019 and above, exposes a C++ SDK (the "Kit") for partner development, and supports single-user through ~100-concurrent-user deployments plus a cloud-hosted variant (Oxygène Hébergé) via third-party infrastructure partners including OVH.

The company operates a freemium distribution model: the full Oxygène software is downloadable for free for single users (including free accounting, commercial, CRM, and payroll for up to 10 payslips per month), with paid options and tiered subscriptions (Base, Solo, Premium, VIP, starting at €5.50/month) unlocking multi-user seats, extended payroll capacity, technical support, and advanced features. Additional revenue comes from à la carte options, professional services (training, migration from competitors, custom development), and managed services such as Memsoft e-facture (PEPPOL-integrated electronic invoicing for the French e-invoicing reform) and Memsoft e-banque (automated bank-statement import and reconciliation). Distribution combines direct website download (PLG) with a national network of value-added resellers handling multi-post integrations and a partner/referral program. The company reports over 700,000 cumulative Oxygène downloads, tens of thousands of adopting companies, 10+ consecutive years of profitability, no external funding, and an 11–50 employee headcount, with leadership consisting of founder/PDG Benoît Klipfel and Directeur Commercial & Marketing Georges Sabadasz.

Direct peers

• Cegid: Cegid is a major French SMB-focused ERP/accounting/payroll software publisher (Cegid Loop, Quadratus), serving the same French SME customer base with deep fiscal-compliance and HR/payroll capabilities that overlap directly with Oxygène modules.
• Silae: Silae is a French payroll and HR SaaS provider (Paie, DSN) that competes directly with Memsoft's Paie Oxygène module for SMB payroll and DSN tele-transmission workloads, and is increasingly partnering with accounting platforms for a unified offering.
• EBP: EBP is a French SMB accounting, invoicing, and payroll software publisher with a similar freemium entry tier and modular offering aimed at TPE/PME, positioning it as a near-direct functional and pricing competitor to Oxygène in the French market.
• Sage: Sage is the dominant French SMB accounting and ERP software provider (Sage 50, Sage 100), serving the same TPE/PME customers as Memsoft with comparable accounting, commercial management, and payroll functionality. It is the most directly competitive product and brand in Memsoft's market.

Emerging players

• Pennylane: Pennylane is a fast-growing French cloud accounting and financial-management platform built for SMBs and their accountants. It is an emerging challenger to legacy French on-prem suites like Oxygène, with strong fiscal-compliance features and a modern UX.
• Indy: Indy is a French freelancer and micro-business accounting, invoicing, and tax tool with a modern UX. It directly attacks the lower end of Memsoft's customer base (auto-entrepreneurs and TPE) that Memsoft targets with its free Oxygène Gratuit tier.

Broad incumbents

• QuickBooks (Intuit): QuickBooks is Intuit's global SMB accounting and invoicing suite with recurring-revenue SaaS distribution and a strong French market presence. It overlaps Memsoft's accounting, invoicing, and CRM functionality as a broader global incumbent.
• Odoo: Odoo is a broad open-source ERP/CRM platform covering accounting, invoicing, payroll, manufacturing, and CRM — materially overlapping Oxygène's module suite. Its community edition and SaaS offering serve the global SMB market at large, posing indirect but powerful competition.
• Xero: Xero is a global cloud SMB accounting platform serving SMEs and accountants in multiple markets. While less mature in France, its cloud-first delivery and partner ecosystem overlap strategically with where Memsoft's Oxygène Hébergé offering is positioned.

Regional players

• Wave Accounting: Wave offers a freemium cloud accounting, invoicing, and payroll product targeting micro-businesses. It serves primarily English-speaking SMB markets but is comparable as a freemium SMB accounting alternative to Oxygène Gratuit.
