EBP Bâtiment
Tier S · Published pricesDevis, factures et chantiers pour le bâtiment, par EBP (groupe Cegid)
EBP Bâtiment is the building-trade range of EBP, a French business-software publisher based in Gazeran that joined the Cegid group in July 2024. It comes in three editions (ACTIV, PRO and ELITE) covering quotes, invoices, progress billing, worksite tracking and a mobile app, with PRO and ELITE adding planning, stock and purchasing. EBP integrates the plateforme agréée Shine for French e-invoicing.
Pros
- + Three editions, from 1-user ACTIV to multi-company ELITE
- + Situations de travaux, progress invoices and métré built in
- + Plateforme agréée Shine integrated for e-invoicing
- + Published monthly prices for ACTIV and PRO
Cons
- − Batiprix and Batichiffrage libraries are bought separately from their publishers
- − Published prices cover one user; multi-user versions are on quote
- − ELITE is quote-only
- − Worksite planning, stock and purchasing need PRO or above
France note
EBP says its building range complies with the French e-invoicing reform through the integrated plateforme agréée Shine, which is on the DGFiP list of registered platforms. If you price from a works library, budget separately for Batiprix or Batichiffrage, which EBP connects to but does not supply.

Mediabat says thousands of artisans and building firms have used its software for more than 30 years.
Pros

France note
Mediabat lists the anti-fraud VAT law, the mandatory waste mentions on building quotes and e-invoicing among the French rules its software covers, but its site does not name the plateforme agréée it uses. Ask which platform handles e-invoice receipt and issuing before you sign.
