Why pick a Sellsy agency that knows French SMBs

Sellsy is one of the few SaaS suites built specifically for French SMBs: CRM, quoting, invoicing, accounting and treasury in one tool, French support, French GDPR-compliant hosting (OVH), and ready for the 2026/2027 electronic invoicing reform (facturation électronique). Hack'celeration works with Sellsy because it solves a real problem: French SMBs juggling 4 tools (HubSpot for CRM, Quickbooks or Pennylane for accounting, Stripe for payments, Excel for forecasts) and losing 8 hours a week in reconciliations.

What changes in week 1: one record per client across CRM, quotes, invoices and accounting. Automatic payment reminders, native Stripe and GoCardless integration, accountant access without a license. A field note: a 22-person agency was using HubSpot + Quickbooks + Stripe + Excel. The team consolidated to Sellsy in 5 weeks. Monthly close went from 4 days to 1.5 days. Cash forecasts went from "vibes" to real numbers, refreshed daily.

You also get integration reflexes. The team plugs Sellsy into n8n for custom automations, into HubSpot when marketing keeps HubSpot, and into your e-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, Prestashop). Quick win: turn on Sellsy's automatic payment reminders. Most French SMBs collect 15 to 25 days faster within 60 days.

Sellsy rollout in 4 weeks flat

Sellsy is fast to deploy when scoping is tight. Week 1: workshop with sales and finance, import of contacts, products and open invoices, pipeline design. Week 2: quote templates, invoice templates, dunning rules, Stripe and Bridge connection. Week 3: accounting export config, integrations (e-commerce, accountant), training. Week 4: go-live, daily standups to fix friction, first monthly close in parallel with old tool.

By week 4 you have Sellsy live with sales reps quoting, finance issuing invoices, and the accountant getting clean exports. Quick win: don't import 5 years of historical invoices. Keep them in your old system as PDF archive. Start fresh with current period only. Migration time drops 60% and reporting stays clean.

A Sellsy agency that plays with AI and electronic invoicing

Sellsy added AI features in 2025: smart categorization on bank transactions, AI-drafted dunning emails, contact deduplication. The team configures these properly so they help, not annoy. On top of that, the team builds custom AI workflows on n8n: lead enrichment via Apollo and Pappers, automatic supplier invoice extraction (OCR + Claude) pushed to Sellsy accounting, AI-drafted follow-up emails using Claude with deal context.

The team also handles the French electronic invoicing reform (facturation électronique B2B), live from September 2026 for large companies and rolling out to SMBs through 2027. Sellsy is registered as a PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire) candidate, which means clients using Sellsy will be compliant by default. The team configures everything: e-invoice formats (Factur-X, UBL, CII), PPF (Plateforme Publique de Facturation) connection, lifecycle statuses. Better start now than panic in Q3 2026.

Frequently asked questions

01Sellsy or Zoho, which one for a French SMB?+
Sellsy wins on French market fit: native French language, French support, OVH hosting, French accounting integrations (FEC, Cegid, Sage, Pennylane), and PDP-ready for the electronic invoicing reform. Zoho wins on cost at scale, broader CRM features and global reach. For a French SMB under 100 employees with French accounting, Sellsy is usually the right call. Above 100 with international scope, Zoho often wins.
02Sellsy or HubSpot for a French company?+
HubSpot wins on marketing depth, content tools and ecosystem. Sellsy wins because it includes invoicing, accounting and treasury in the same tool. For French SMBs that need CRM + invoicing in one place, Sellsy is 2 to 3x cheaper than HubSpot + a separate billing tool. The team has shipped both and recommends based on your marketing vs finance priorities.
03How long does a Sellsy implementation take?+
4 weeks for CRM + Invoicing + Accounting scope on a team of 10 to 30. Add 1 to 2 weeks per heavy integration (e-commerce, custom ERP, multi-entity). Pure import + activation can be done in 1 week but won't deliver the value. The team works in 1-week sprints with clear milestones. The audit gives you a precise estimate based on your scope.
04Is Sellsy ready for the French electronic invoicing reform?+
Yes. Sellsy is a registered candidate as PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire), with mandatory e-invoicing rolling out for large companies in September 2026 and full SMB rollout through 2027. Sellsy will handle Factur-X, UBL and CII formats natively, plus PPF connection. The team sets up your company for compliance now, ahead of the deadline.
05Can my accountant access Sellsy without an extra license?+
Yes. Sellsy includes free accountant access. The team configures the right permissions (read-only on most modules, write on accounting export) and trains your accountant on FEC export. Compatible with Cegid, Sage, EBP, Pennylane, and most French accounting platforms. Saves 4 to 6 hours per month on accountant back-and-forth.
06Do you handle migration from Pennylane, Quickbooks, or HubSpot?+
Yes. The team imports contacts, products, open invoices, open quotes and current period data. Historical data (closed invoices, paid items) is archived or imported with reduced detail. Common migrations: Pennylane (full data export), Quickbooks (via CSV + custom mapping), HubSpot (native + custom API for invoicing data). A staging period of 2 weeks runs in parallel before cutover.
07Is Sellsy GDPR-compliant and hosted in France?+
Yes. Sellsy is a French company hosted on OVH (Roubaix, Strasbourg), fully GDPR-compliant. DPA available, data residency in France guaranteed. The team configures consent fields, retention policies, user permissions, and audit logs. For sectors with extra requirements (health, legal), the team adds field-level encryption via integrations. Ideal for French SMBs sensitive to where their data sits.
08What integrations do you set up with Sellsy?+
Most used: Stripe and GoCardless for payments, Bridge for banks, Shopify/WooCommerce/Prestashop for e-commerce, Aircall and Ringover for telephony, Brevo for emailing, PayFit and Lucca for HR, Pennylane for accountant view, HubSpot for marketing sync, n8n for custom workflows. The team reviews marketplace apps honestly before installing them.
09How do you avoid the classic Sellsy under-use?+
Sellsy fails when teams use only the CRM or only the invoicing. The team scopes the full flow (lead to cash) from week 1 and trains sales + finance together. Weekly check-ins for the first 6 weeks catch friction early. The team also coaches managers on the right metrics: pipeline weighted by stage, DSO, cash forecast. Adoption is process plus design.
10What does the first 60min audit cover?+
Review of your current stack (CRM, invoicing, accounting), team size, sales motion, French compliance needs (TVA, e-invoicing, accountant), integrations, and timeline. You leave with 5 to 8 concrete recommendations, a 4-week rollout plan, and a transparent budget estimate. No upsell pressure. Book a slot and bring sales, finance, and ideally your accountant.
