Obat
Quote and invoicing software for French construction tradespeople, with a library of 30,000 construction works with prices and labor times, 300 quote templates and electronic signature. Plans from about €25 to €129 excl. VAT a month.
A quote template is easy to build. What makes Obat valuable is the data: a library of 30,000 works with rates and labor times that someone keeps up to date, plus construction-specific features (progress invoices, site tracking) and compliance with the e-invoicing reform, whose calendar should be checked on the official texts. Without that library you start from a blank page on every quote. For a tradesperson, the time saved on pricing is worth far more than the subscription.
