Custom software and AI for French businesses
We work remotely with businesses in France to build custom software, web and mobile apps, SaaS platforms and AI features. Scope is agreed in a written requirements document before the build starts, and calls and releases are scheduled inside your business hours.

Why businesses in France work with us
-
Experienced developers are in short supply in France, and many SMEs and mid-sized companies use an external team to deliver a defined project without a long recruitment process.
-
The move to mandatory B2B e-invoicing is pushing French companies to rework invoicing, ERP and accounting integrations that were built around paper and PDF.
-
French customers expect interfaces in French, local payment methods and careful handling of personal data, so software needs to be built for the French market rather than adapted later.
French retail and eCommerce, industry, logistics, healthcare, tourism and professional services businesses commonly need custom platforms, portals and ERP integrations.
How it works in France
- Invoicing
- We can invoice in euros, with payment milestones tied to the deliverables in the requirements document.
- Contracts
- We contract as a company supplying a service, under our terms or yours, with scope, acceptance criteria and change requests set out in writing.
- Data protection
- We sign a GDPR data processing agreement with standard contractual clauses for any access from outside the EU, and work with your DPO or advisers on anything specific to your sector.
- Communication
- Communication and documentation in English, calls within your business hours, and French interface text supplied by your team or a translator you choose.
Data protection: the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act, regulated by the CNIL.
What we build for France businesses
Questions from France
Can you invoice in euros?
Yes. We can invoice in euros, and the figure in the proposal is the figure on the invoice.
How is personal data protected when your team works from outside the EU?
Our team is in Pakistan, which has no EU adequacy decision, so any access to personal data is covered by standard contractual clauses in a data processing agreement. We keep live data hosted in the EU and use test data wherever we can.
Can you prepare our systems for French B2B e-invoicing?
Yes. The reform is being phased in, starting with the obligation to receive e-invoices and followed by issuing and e-reporting. We can build or adapt your systems to produce structured formats such as Factur-X and connect to the approved platform you choose, working with your advisers on timing.
Can you connect to Chorus Pro for public-sector invoices?
Yes. Suppliers to French public bodies submit invoices through Chorus Pro, and we can integrate with it through its API so invoices are sent and tracked from your own system.
Can you accept Cartes Bancaires payments?
Yes. Most French customers pay with Cartes Bancaires cards, and we can accept them alongside Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and SEPA Direct Debit through providers such as Stripe, Adyen or Mollie.
Can the application be in French?
Yes. We build multilingual interfaces from the start, handling French date, number and currency formats, and your team or translator supplies and reviews the French text.
Can you build to French accessibility requirements?
Yes. We design and test against WCAG 2.2 AA, which underpins the RGAA and supports the European Accessibility Act as it applies in France. Your advisers confirm which obligations cover your service.
How do you handle cookie consent under CNIL guidance?
We build consent banners that block non-essential cookies until the visitor agrees and make refusing as easy as accepting, in line with the CNIL's guidance. The wording comes from you or your lawyer.
Can our data be hosted in France?
Yes. AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud all run regions in France, and French providers such as OVHcloud and Scaleway are also options. The accounts are opened in your company's name.
Can we use our own contract and NDA?
Yes. We sign an NDA before detailed discussions and can work from your contract or ours. Either way you own the code, repositories and cloud accounts.
