Batigest Connect by Sage, a new generation of solutions for construction companies

Sage, a player in the cloud-based accounting, payroll and business management solutions market, announces the launch of Batigest Connect in response to the growing needs of building tradesmen and SMEs for digital transformation. This latest generation solution aims to become the benchmark software in the continuity of Batigest i7, already recognized by artisans and SMEs for many years.

The digitization of building actors is a trend that progresses as the years go by. The results of the 3rd edition of the 2017 national barometer on artisans and digital technology * already identified digital technology as one of the 4 growth drivers in the sector. As part of this digitization, Batigest Connect allows the company to gain efficiency by interacting more easily with its ecosystem (employees, customers, third parties).

“I am very happy that our customers and prospects can finally discover Sage Batigest Connect. Indeed, Sage has invested a lot in the development of this new offer in order to meet the needs of craftsmen and decision-makers in the building industry and modernize its solution. With this solution, Sage lays the foundations for development towards a cloud and SaaS offer. We want our Batigest customers to have easy access to a connected offer and soon, for those who wish, to a SaaS offer. " Émilie Batista-Fernandes, Product Marketing Manager Building at Sage

Modernity, continuity and stability of the database

In addition to connectivity, all the functionalities of the Batigest i7 solution will be available in Batigest Connect: among which the production of quotes and invoices, site control and analysis, regulatory invoicing or the processing of calls for tenders .

Even with a redesigned ergonomics and a new design, the craftsmen and SMEs of the building should recognize the already proven reference solution. In addition, companies that are already Sage Batigest i7 customers will be able to easily migrate to Batigest Connect with the certainty of keeping all their data, in addition to having more storage capacity available.

Connectivity and scalability at the heart of the solution

Via Sage Online Access, Batigest Connect enables work on the move. This service is included in the solution and allows craftsmen on the move to be able to access their data and work remotely. "Like at the office" for making quotes for example.

Always in the spirit of offering more connectivity, the solution was designed to allow the rapid addition of complementary mobility applications and new functionalities. It adapts to the size of the company and can accommodate up to 50 users, and therefore be used by SMEs.

Result of collaboration with partners

Partners continue to play a key role in the publisher's development strategy. They were thus involved upstream in the construction of the commercial offer and the functional breakdown of the solution. By contributing to the product roadmap, they were also called upon in the phase of real tests on their customers. "I have carried out several Beta Tests, and I would like to highlight the very good quality of the Beta version of Batigest delivered, which will respond precisely to what companies expect today in terms of management solutions. ", specifies Eric Monier, manager of Utopia Informatique.
