Cfast

What Cfast does

CFAST (legal entity Gestion Systèmes Télécom, SAS) is a French SaaS vendor founded in 2008 and headquartered in Saint-Apollinaire, France, providing a telecom-native billing and quote-to-cash platform for alternative B2B telecom operators and Managed Service Providers. The product suite covers CDR (Call Detail Record) processing from 100+ VoIP and mobile carriers, recurring subscription and consumption-based billing, CRM/quotes with electronic signature, an approved electronic invoicing platform (Plateforme Agréée via iopole), a white-label customer portal, eligibility/provisioning across multi-operator infrastructures, KPI/statistics dashboards, and a REST API with MCP-enabled documentation. The platform is built on Odoo and is positioned for French regulatory compliance (CPCE, ARCEP, GDPR, NIS2, and the 2026-2027 RFE e-invoicing reform), with sovereign data hosting outside the US Cloud Act scope.

CFAST serves over 400 active telecom operators and MSPs in France, who collectively invoice approximately €123M through the platform and manage around 92,000 B2B end-customer accounts. The company has grown organically from €900K to €1.65M in revenue between 2022 and 2025, with headcount expanding from 10 to 22 people. Co-owners Abraham Bomer (technical co-founder since 2009) and Paul-Antoine Gerbay (commercial lead) led a 2022 ownership transition that made CFAST fully independent of any telecom operator. GTM combines direct sales, channel partners (FRP2I, Résadia, Séquence informatique), the WebiFAST webinar series, content marketing, and a partner ecosystem of accounting (Sage, Odoo, Pennylane), payment (GoCardless), and signature (Yousign) integrations.

Regional players

• Sellsy: French SaaS for SMB billing, quoting, CRM, and subscription management — comparable French SaaS, quote-to-cash target segment and recurring-revenue model, but not telecom-specialized.

Broad incumbents

• Netcracker Technology: NEC-owned telecom BSS/OSS suite competing in the same billing and CRM space, typically sold to large Tier-1/2 carriers — a broader incumbent offering that overlaps with CFAST's product category at higher scale.
• Amdocs: Global leader in telecom BSS, OSS, and customer-experience suites — a broad incumbent whose billing and CRM portfolio spans the same operator workflows CFAST serves, but at enterprise scale.
• Sage: Global accounting/ERP SaaS with strong penetration among French SMBs and integrations into invoicing workflows — broad incumbent whose invoicing and compliance capabilities overlap the finance/operations use cases CFAST addresses for operators and MSPs.

Direct peers

• Comarch: Global BSS/OSS vendor with a Telecom Billing and CRM suite serving fixed, mobile, and MVNO operators — directly comparable product category to CFAST for billing and CRM, though serving much larger carriers.
• Cerillion: Pre-configured BSS suite for telecoms covering billing, CRM, and provisioning — comparable quote-to-cash model and similar target customer profile (mid-market operators and MVNOs).
• Hansen Technologies: Listed provider of billing, CRM, and customer-care software to telecom, energy, and utilities — same quote-to-cash vertical software model, but operating at significantly larger scale and across multiple geographies.
• Optiva: BSS and charging platform for telecom operators, including MVNO/EVs and Tier-1 carriers — directly comparable in telecom-billing functionality, though with a heavier real-time charging focus.

Others

• Odoo: Open-source ERP platform on which CFAST is built — a direct technology dependency and ecosystem partner, with overlapping billing/CRM functionality that creates both enablement and platform risk for CFAST.

Emerging players

• Pennylane: French SaaS for accounting and financial management, used by SMBs and accounting firms — an emerging French SaaS finance/operations platform with comparable regulatory-compliance positioning and SMB/Mid-market GTM, though not telecom-specific.
