Invoicing built for the people who actually deliver the work.
Invoicing is a serious subject that gets handled badly. Serious, because an invoice issued wrong is a payment delayed. Handled badly, because in most small companies the invoice is merely the end of a cycle it should have been designed around. Four profiles keep coming back to us.
Owner of a company with a scattered sales cycle
Your quotes live in Word, your invoices in Excel, your contracts in Drive, and your accountant juggles 4 mailboxes. Every month-end is the same reconstruction job.
Orizen brings the whole cycle together on one customer record: catalogue, quote, contract, invoice, payment, accounting.
Accountant or financial controller
You spend 4 to 8 hours a month retyping PDF invoices received by email. Every close brings VAT discrepancies or missing reconciliations to fix.
The native Pennylane connector sends everything in a structured format. Your imports are compliant and your reconciliations automatic.
Sales rep who writes quotes every day
Your Word templates exist in 3 versions, you sometimes forget the VAT, and the electronic signature goes through a fourth tool with yet another login.
One screen: catalogue, VAT calculation, signature in house. No third-party tool to open.
Tradesperson, freelancer, one-person business
You are worried about missing an obligation of the 2026 e-invoicing reform. No time to become an expert.
Orizen is Factur-X compliant by default. Nothing to learn.
A sales cycle that flows, end to end.
Each step turns into the next. Your data does not travel between five tools, it stays in Orizen. The catalogue feeds the quote, the quote becomes a contract, then a purchase order, then an invoice, and ends as an accounting entry.
From catalogue to Pennylane, without a break.
Beyond the invoice itself, the whole document set follows the same logic: one place for contracts, purchase orders, acceptance certificates and credit notes.
All your documents, in one place.
Seven modules, one interface.
The Orizen modular approach lets you start with what you need today and switch the rest on as you grow. No hidden cost per module, no cascade of settings to redo.
Switch on only what you actually need.
Products, services, prices, discounts. Every quote draws on the catalogue, so prices are always current and nothing is retyped.
Quotes, contracts, purchase orders and acceptance certificates. Automatic chronological numbering.
Monthly or yearly invoices generated automatically, with renewals and cancellations tracked.
Compliant for 2026. Issuing and receiving through partner approved platforms, in UBL 2.1 and CII formats. VAT and legal notices filled in automatically.
Pay per invoice, or direct debit for your subscriptions.
Quotes, contracts and purchase orders signed inside Orizen. Legally binding, fully traceable.
Invoices pushed automatically, payments pulled back. The accounts stay current.
"Compliance should not be a source of stress. And invoicing should not be an archaeology project." The Orizen team
Compliant today. Not in six months.
The official French calendar: September 2026 for receiving (every company), September 2027 for issuing in smaller companies. Our advice is to move a few months early, so you have time to run your processes in with your first pilot customers.
Your invoices go out in a structured format by default.
One registration with a partner approved platform (B2Brouter or Super PDP), then nothing to set up invoice by invoice: compliant issuing, supplier invoices received through the same channel, and evidential archiving built in.
Your accountant receives everything, automatically.
No more emailing PDFs ten at a time to your accountant. The native Pennylane connector sends your invoices in a structured format, syncs the payments and does the reconciliation. For Sage, Cegid, EBP and Quadratus, the standard FEC accounting export is one click away.
Changing invoicing tools is no small thing. We know. We walk you through it.
Three clear milestones. No gap in your invoicing during the switch. A path that respects how sensitive your accounts are.

The answers to the questions we get asked most.
What is electronic invoicing and who does it apply to?
Electronic invoicing is the issuing, sending and receiving of invoices in a structured format, through platforms approved by the French State; Chorus Pro remains the portal for invoices sent to the public sector. Since 1 September 2026, every VAT-registered French company, whatever its size, must be able to RECEIVE electronic invoices, and large and mid-sized companies must ISSUE them. The obligation to ISSUE extends to SMEs and micro-businesses by 1 September 2027 at the latest. The same movement is under way across Europe, on the EN 16931 standard that Factur-X implements. Orizen Invoicing is not an approved platform: it prepares your invoices and sends them, in the structured format of the EN 16931 standard, through partner approved platforms.
When does e-invoicing become mandatory for my company?
The current official French calendar: September 2026 means RECEIVING is mandatory for every company, and ISSUING is mandatory for large and mid-cap companies. September 2027 extends the ISSUING obligation to smaller companies. Our advice is to move a few months early. The point is not to switch in a rush a quarter before the deadline, but to have time to train your teams and test with your first pilot customers.
How much does invoicing software for an SME cost?
Invoicing software for smaller companies generally runs between €10 and €80 per user per month depending on the features. Orizen Invoicing follows the Orizen modular model: you start on an affordable base and add the extra modules (catalogue, electronic signature, online payment, e-invoicing) when you need them. The free 14-day trial opens every feature, with no commitment.
How do I go from quote to invoice without retyping anything?
In Orizen a signed quote becomes an invoice in one click. Chronological numbering (DEV-2026-XXXX then FACT-2026-XXXX) is automatic, and the line items, the customer, the VAT, the payment terms and any deposits carry over. If you have intermediate steps (purchase order, acceptance certificate), they follow on in the same record, with no other tool to open and nothing to copy and paste.
Do Orizen invoices work with Pennylane or Sage?
Yes. Orizen Invoicing has a native Pennylane connector: invoices are sent automatically in a structured format, and payments and reconciliation sync back. For other accounting software (Sage, Cegid, EBP, Quadratus), the standard FEC accounting export is one click away. Your accountant gets their files, their imports are compliant, and you stop emailing them 50 PDFs.
How do I chase a customer who has not paid, without damaging the relationship?
Orizen offers 3 configurable reminder levels: a friendly note 3 days after the due date, a firmer reminder at day 15, then a pre-written formal notice at day 30. Reminders can go out automatically or wait for your approval. Every send is logged on the customer record and visible to your whole team, so nobody chases twice and nobody forgets.
Why we built Orizen Invoicing differently.
We have seen too many small companies use Word for quotes, Excel for invoices and Drive for contracts, then spend the end of the month reconstructing a cycle that should have flowed on its own.
We have seen too many accountants spend 4 to 8 hours a month retyping, because the invoices arrived as PDFs in a corner of a mailbox, with no structured format.
We have seen too many company owners panic as the 2026 e-invoicing obligation approached, with nobody to turn to in order to understand Factur-X, Chorus Pro and the PPF.
So we built Orizen Invoicing. A sales cycle that flows, compliant today with the 2026 rules, and compatible with your accounts. From catalogue to Pennylane with nothing retyped, because compliance should not be a source of stress, and invoicing should not be an archaeology project.
