Diez Software

What Diez Software does

Diez Software is a Santander, Spain-based developer and commercializer of cloud-based business management software, operating as the Iberia product line under the French-headquartered Cegid group. Founded in 1999, the company targets the Spanish-speaking professional and SMB market with the Cegid Diez ERP family — most prominently Cegid Despachos, a 360-degree ERP for advisory firms (gestorías, asesorías, despachos profesionales) that integrates fiscal, labor, accounting, and tax declaration management with direct telematic submission to Spain's tax authorities (AEAT and Hacienda Foral). The technology stack is a cloud SaaS architecture built around Cegid Cloud, with modules spanning invoicing (DiezFAC, Cegid Yet), accounting (DiezCON), payroll (DiezNOM), and client connectivity portals (Portal del Asesor, Portal del Empleado), and is differentiated primarily by deep, codified compliance with Spanish fiscal regulations including VeriFactu, SII, Ley Antifraude, and Ley Crea y Crece.

The extended portfolio goes beyond advisory firms to cover small and medium enterprises (Cegid Diez entry-level products, Cegid Ekon XRP for mid-market), vertical industries (construction, retail, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing), and enterprise HR/payroll (Cegid HCM 360, Cegid Peoplenet, Cegid Visualtime). The company runs a sales-led go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales with a certified partner ecosystem of resellers, VARs, and implementation consultants across Spain and Portugal, complemented by digital demand generation (SEO, blog, webinars, email) and channel partners. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring SaaS subscription licenses (annual billing cadence) with additional professional services revenue from implementation, training, and partner-driven support; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Value-added services bundled with the software — professional liability insurance, ADECLA association membership, the Red de Asesorías referral network, legal database access, and Cegid Academy training — create a single-vendor ecosystem that pure-play accounting software competitors do not replicate.
