Mandatory e-invoicing isn't just a French issue.

Features

🇲🇱 🇸🇳 🇧🇫 🇹🇬 Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Togo — integration in progress

Regulatory e-invoicing rollout is in progress in these 4 UEMOA countries. Mali: secure normalised invoicing system being deployed, CassKai is monitoring regulatory updates to integrate the connector as soon as it is officially confirmed. Senegal (DGID), Burkina Faso (FEC, deployment expected July 2026) and Togo (OTR): CassKai will integrate official connectors as soon as administrations publish technical specifications. Our multi-PA architecture is designed for these future extensions without rework.

EN 16931 standardised formats (Factur-X, UBL 2.1, CII)

CassKai generates your invoices in Factur-X (PDF/A-3 with embedded CII XML via pdf-lib), UBL 2.1 (pure XML) and CII (pure XML), all compliant with the European EN 16931 standard and its 157 validation rules. For UEMOA countries, local formats are also supported (with SYSCOHADA mappings).

Multi-PA architecture for France (Iopole, Cegid, Docaposte, Pennylane, Sage)

For France, you choose your Approved Platform. CassKai supports multi-vendor routing: Iopole (our main partner), Cegid, Docaposte, Pennylane and Sage. If you change PA tomorrow, you don't change software. Routing is configured in your company settings.

E-reporting B2C and intra-EU B2B France

The 2026 French reform also requires e-reporting for B2C sales and intra-EU B2B operations. CassKai automatically generates e-reporting declarations in the format expected by the DGFiP, with transmission via the same approved platform. Compliant with the 31 lines of the CA3 (reverse charge, intra-EU OSS threshold 10,000 €, self-supply art. 257).

Multi-standard PCG / SYSCOHADA / SCF / IFRS for SMEs

Each UEMOA country uses SYSCOHADA Revised 2017 for its accounting, with local nuances (VAT rates, specific accounts). Algeria uses SCF. France uses PCG. CassKai automatically applies the right accounting standard based on your company's country, and the right account mappings for your VAT / reverse charge / e-reporting entries.

What other software doesn't tell you

Even if your current software handles invoicing in France, connecting to an Approved Platform (PA) or an African tax system requires specific developments: file formats (Factur-X, UBL 2.1, local formats), exchange protocols (authenticated REST API, cryptographic signatures), transmission status management (sent / accepted / rejected / corrected). Some vendors plan for it. Others don't. Check with yours before September 2026.

Use cases

French-African accounting firm with FR + CI + BJ files

You are an accountant managing clients in Paris (switching to French e-invoicing on September 1st, 2026) and clients in Abidjan and Cotonou (already subject to FNE and MECeF). Without CassKai, you need 2-3 different software and as many team trainings. With CassKai, a single tool handles the 3 systems natively, with automatic routing based on the client's country.

French-African group with Ivorian or Beninese subsidiary

Your French holding has an operational subsidiary in Abidjan or Cotonou. Your intra-group invoices must be FNE / MECeF normalised on the African side AND Factur-X on the French side. Without a unified solution, you do the work twice. With CassKai, the invoice is generated once, transmitted to the tax system of the relevant country and recorded in SYSCOHADA + PCG (consolidation).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between "Sandbox validated" and production?

A tax administration (Ivorian DGI, Beninese DGI, French DGFiP, etc.) offers 2 environments: (1) sandbox, a test environment where you can submit fictitious invoices to verify that the technical payloads are compliant; (2) production, where real invoices are transmitted and legally stored. CassKai has validated connectors in official sandbox for the 5 active countries (CI, BJ, NE, FR, DZ). Transition to production happens after signing the commercial contract with the administration or PA. For France, production with Iopole is planned in the coming weeks.

What happens for countries where the system is not yet operational (Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Togo)?

These 4 UEMOA countries are gradually deploying their e-invoicing systems. Mali: secure normalised invoicing system being deployed, CassKai is monitoring regulatory updates to integrate the connector as soon as it is officially confirmed. Senegal (DGID), Burkina Faso (FEC, deployment expected July 2026) and Togo (OTR): official technical specifications are not yet published. Our multi-PA architecture is designed to integrate these connectors as soon as administrations publish their APIs. In the meantime, CassKai handles classic invoicing for these countries in SYSCOHADA format, without mandatory transmission required yet.

What is an Approved Platform (PA) in France?

The 2026 French reform introduces the concept of Approved Platform (PA) — an intermediary between your accounting software and the Public Invoicing Portal (PPF) of the DGFiP. The PA receives your electronic invoices, validates them, transmits them to your customer (or their PA) and to the PPF for legal archiving. CassKai is NOT a PA — it's a software publisher (Compatible Solution) that interfaces with a PA of your choice (Iopole, Cegid, Docaposte, Pennylane, Sage). You sign the commercial contract with the PA, CassKai handles the technical side.

How to migrate from my current software (Pennylane, Sage, EBP)?

CassKai offers CSV / Excel importers for invoices, customers, accounting entries and chart of accounts. For large volumes, direct API import from your source software is possible. A typical accounting firm walks you through 2-4 weeks: (1) export from the old tool, (2) account mapping to PCG or SYSCOHADA, (3) import to CassKai with consistency check (balance, duplicates), (4) configuration of e-invoicing connectors per country, (5) sandbox tests before real switchover. Plan 3-6 months for a complete migration if you want to be ready for September 1st, 2026 — start now.
