Sector — Craftspeople & sole traders

The business management software designed for craftspeople and sole traders

Plumber, electrician, cabinetmaker, hairdresser, landscaper or freelancer: you juggle on-site quotes, evening invoices, payments and supply tracking. eyeot brings it all together in a single, clear tool, accessible from a browser in the workshop or at the customer's place. You only switch on the building blocks your business needs — invoicing, customer file, point of sale, stock, appointments — to leave Excel and the paper notebook behind without falling into a bloated system built for large corporations.

Building and craft trades, service providers, independent professionals and small businesses with fewer than 20 people who want simple commercial management: draw up a quote quickly, turn it into a compliant invoice, collect payment, and keep an eye on their customers and stock without a full-time accountant.

The eyeot modules for this industry

What it changes for you

Quotes and invoices compliant with Factur-X

Write your quotes in minutes and turn them into electronic invoices in the Factur-X format required by France's 2026 e-invoicing reform, with no re-keying or duplicate accounting entry.

A customer file that's truly up to date

Centralize contact details, service history, quotes and invoices per customer. No more contacts scattered across your phone, emails and job notebook.

Compliant on-site payment

Collect payment in the workshop, in store or on the move with an NF525-certified cash register: receipt, multi-rate VAT and automatic daily closing.

Supplies and stock under control

Track raw materials, consumables and small equipment with threshold alerts, so you never run out in the middle of a job or call-out.

Online appointment booking

Let your customers book a visit, a repair or an installation on a shared calendar, with automatic reminders to cut down on no-shows and wasted trips.

One app instead of three

On-site quote, evening invoice, payment at the counter and tomorrow's appointment: everything talks to each other in one place, no more copy-pasting between Excel, a POS app and a calendar.

Cash flow and unpaid invoices in plain sight

See at a glance what's still owed and which invoices to chase, so you stop running after payments and protect your cash flow.

Compliance & trust

Factur-X 2026 e-invoicing

eyeot generates invoices in the Factur-X format (PDF + structured data) to get you ready for the mandatory business-to-business e-invoicing being rolled out in France from 2026.

NF525-certified cash register

The payment module meets the NF525 requirements (inalterability, security, retention, archiving) imposed on cash register software by France's article 286-I-3 bis of the General Tax Code.

Frequently asked questions

Is eyeot suitable for a sole trader or a very small business?
Yes. You only activate the modules you need (invoicing, customers, POS, stock, appointments) and leave the rest aside. The goal is to replace Excel and the paper notebook with a simple tool, not to add needless complexity.
Will my invoices comply with the e-invoicing reform?
eyeot produces invoices in the Factur-X format, which combines a readable PDF with structured data. It is the reference format chosen for France's business-to-business e-invoicing reform, which takes effect from 2026.
Can I collect customer payments directly from the tool?
Yes, through the NF525-certified Cash register module: receipt issuance, multi-rate VAT handling and end-of-day closing. Useful if you sell over the counter or take payment on site at the end of a job.
Can I manage my appointments and customer visits?
Yes. The Appointments module offers an online calendar where your customers book a slot for a visit, a quote or a repair, with automatic reminders to reduce missed appointments.
Do I need to install software or hire an expert to get started?
No. eyeot runs from a browser, on computer or mobile. You start with invoicing and the customer file, then add the cash register, stock or appointments when you need them.
Can I track my stock of supplies and materials?
Yes. The Stock module lists your consumables, materials and small equipment, with threshold alerts to anticipate reorders before you run out.
