A solution designed for “administrative phobics”
Altoviz is positioned as a complete but accessible management tool, designed to prevent its users from “spending time on their management” while offering them a rigorous framework. The application makes it possible to issue quotes, create invoices, collect payments, connect your bank account and automatically bring transactions closer. It is aimed at the most represented profiles of French entrepreneurship: micro-entrepreneurs, craftsmen, traders, liberal professions.
The emphasis is placed on efficiency: “We once grasp the invoice in question, the name of his client, the periodicity, and it is finished, we move on to something else. »»
A freemium without restriction
The economic model is based on a free version, without limit of duration, volume or essential features. “It is not a limitation in time, it is not 5 invoices per month, it is unlimited. There is no ad, it’s real free. For advanced features, the paid offer starts at less than 10 euros per month. The choice of freemium is also part of a frugal acquisition strategy: “We are more comfortable putting money in a free version, since it costs us, than putting it on advertising. »»
Automation, online payment and recurring invoicing
Altoviz now incorporates recurring billing functions, allowing to generate, send and automatically collecting periodic payments. “This type of solution, which was before reserved for more structured companies, is now available to the little ones. »»
The company insists on the accessibility of online payment: “still too many those who think that online payment is not made for them. Thanks to extensive integration with payment platforms, commissions management and rapprochements is automated. “We used as much as possible the APIs provided by these different platforms and we worked with their engineers to provide the simplest possible experience. »»
A hybrid roadmap: between customer requests and product vision
Product development follows a mixed logic. On the one hand, user lifts are traced, classified and prioritized; on the other, strategic axes are initiated internally. “There are those we hold, which are convictions that we have. And then there are those that correspond to user requests. »»
Regulatory compliance is also integrated into the roadmap, in particular around compulsory electronic invoicing: “When there is a regulatory request, it goes on top priority. »»
Electronic billing: Altoviz is preparing for maturity
Regarding the progressive entry into force of electronic billing, Alex Danvy is clear: “As I speak, no one can boast of being ready, since the exchange platforms do not exist. »Altoviz plans to interface with the partner platforms selected by the State. “We will not be an exchange operator. We will be software that will interface with these platforms. The objective: to guarantee seamless integration for customers.
Anticipate regulatory changes and support the transition
Altoviz is also positioned as a support tool in status and subjugation developments in VAT, in particular for the micro-entrepreneurs concerned by the new obligations. “The application is ready. It allows you to pass a VAT management mode, or even change business status. »»
The startup provides simulators to compare the financial impacts between different statutes. “What is considered to be a turnover on a microphone is ultimately what it collects. On a more classic company, that’s what we billed. »»
Human assistance, reactive and internalized
One of Altoviz’s major differentiators remains his support. “There is a cat in the application. He is answered within a few seconds or short minutes following his question. If necessary, the support goes on the phone or screen sharing.
The tool also facilitates collaboration with accountants. “We are a little bit the armed wing of the expert when it comes to working on management software. »»
Data security and sovereignty
On the security issue, Altoviz displays a mature strategy. The data is saved daily on several data centers and in two distinct cloud suppliers, located in different geographies. “We tried to deal with all the eventualities. (…) We can get angry with our suppliers, we will have the data with another supplier. »»
The opening and reversibility are also guaranteed: “All of the data is accessible by API. (…) Any software should at least have APIs to allow, if only to a provider, to be able to extract the data and do what he wants with it. »»
Discreet but effective
Altoviz already incorporates artificial intelligence into certain functions: Advanced documentary recognition, automated extraction of key information on invoices, support assistance. “The AI is there, since we already have implementations on all that is analyzed and recognition of invoices. »»
Without making a marketing argument, the company sees it as a progressive lever to improve forecast, automation and simplicity of use. “AI is welcome to try to make projections by analyzing past data, for example. »»
Bootstrapper to stay free
The company has been self -funded since its creation. “We had put on a challenge: are we able to provide a solution at least as good as the very first, in a very small time? (…) We were not going to bring an investor to enter to just validate our small project. »»
The approach is assumed: no rushed fundraising, no growth imposed. “We are not a startup. (…) We finance ourselves and we make sure to go there little by little. »»
A counter-model assumed in the world of traditional SaaS
Altoviz embodies a pragmatic vision of tech for the smallest economic players: a sober, efficient, accessible tool, and aligned with the business realities of its users. At a time when SaaS startups are increasing features without product consistency, Altoviz plays the card of functional clarity, data sovereignty and human support. And proves that in 2025, we can still do good technology, without unnecessary noise.
