France note
PayFit's own site says BTP collective agreements are not yet integrated, and its list of supported agreements has no building or public-works one. A building firm under the BTP conventions (ouvriers, ETAM, cadres, CIBTP leave funds) should get written confirmation from PayFit before switching.
Silae

Silae is a French payroll and HR software publisher whose products (mySilae Paie, Entreprise, BI, Santé and others) are deployed and maintained by about 6,000 partner accounting firms and integrators rather than sold direct.

On 9 September 2026 Silae and Cegid, both majority-owned by Silver Lake, announced a plan to combine, subject to works-council consultation and regulatory approval, with completion expected in the first half of 2027.
Pros

France note
Silae is reached through your expert-comptable or an integrator, so ask your firm whether it uses Silae and what it charges. Silae says 900 collective agreements are integrated; ask the firm to confirm your BTP convention and CIBTP leave-fund declarations are handled. Silae and Cegid announced a planned combination on 9 September 2026.
