In its favor
Why people choose Kafinea
The signal that keeps Kafinea on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Modular à la carte pricing lets SMEs pay only for the apps they use, reducing upfront cost compared to monolithic ERP suites.
Built-in French e-invoicing compliance helps companies meet electronic billing reform without third-party add-ons.
Unlimited users on the Business tier appeals to growing teams that need full access without per-seat licensing friction.
REST API access on all plans enables custom integrations and data portability for technical teams.
Consolidated finance, CRM, and service modules reduce the need for multiple disconnected tools in small operations.
Limited volume of use restrictions on lower tiers can throttle growing companies that exceed stated data or transaction limits.
Smaller market footprint means fewer third-party integrations compared to established international ERP platforms.
Support limited to ticket-based channels on base tiers creates longer resolution times for urgent issues.
Smaller user community and fewer online resources make troubleshooting less straightforward than larger platforms.

What gets migrated
Kafinea object support
Object-by-object support for Kafinea migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records with contact details, addresses, and payment terms are exported via the REST API. We map them to the destination's account or contact object preserving the primary contact relationship.
Invoices and Credit Notes
Mapping requiredKafinea supports Classic, Progress, and Recurring invoicing. We preserve invoice-to-payment links and credit note chains but flag any tax code or VAT treatment that requires manual adjustment in the destination.
Journal Entries
Mapping requiredReal-time accounting creates journal entries linked to invoices and bank transactions. Historical entries with multi-line debits and credits require careful sequencing by posting date during import.
Chart of Accounts
Mapping requiredAccounts are exported with their account type, currency, and optional cost center. We map them to the destination's account structure but flag custom or non-standard account codes.
Sales Orders and Price Books
Mapping requiredPrice Books with tiered pricing tiers (quantity-based portions at different prices) require value-mapping. Sales order line items are migrated with product references and pricing rules preserved.
CRM Contacts and Companies
Mapping requiredKafinea CRM uses Contacts and Companies as separate objects with a link between them. We merge or split based on the destination schema and preserve lifecycle stages as custom properties where needed.
Service Contracts and Interventions
Mapping requiredService Contracts define recurring billing and SLA terms; Interventions are time or task records logged against contracts. Both require relationship mapping to the destination's ticket or work order object.
Timesheets and Absence Records
Mapping requiredTime entries are linked to users and projects or stand alone as absence records. Effective-dated absence balances require sequential import to preserve accrual calculations.
Custom Fields and Custom Objects
Mapping requiredKafinea exposes customizable fields across most objects. We map custom field names and data types, handling picklist values, dates, and numerics with explicit type casting at load time.
Attachments and Documents (EDM)
Fully supportedDocuments stored in Kafinea EDM are exported as file references or direct downloads. We preserve folder structure and attach them to the corresponding records in the destination.
Workflows and Automations
Not in this platformAI-powered workflows reference Kafinea-specific actions and triggers that have no direct equivalent in other platforms. We document the workflow logic for manual recreation post-migration rather than attempting automated conversion.
SEPA Payment Links
Mapping requiredBanking synchronization links invoices to SEPA direct debit mandates and bank statements. These links must be re-established in the destination ERP, as payment method references are not portable across systems.
