Certified Ksaar Agency
Why SMEs switch from Cegid to a custom no-code solution
Cegid offers robust ERP modules, but many SMEs face rigid workflows, expensive per-user licensing, and costly customization. A custom no-code platform on Ksaar lets you build exactly the processes your business needs—invoice automation, inventory sync, or client portals—without vendor constraints. Keep your data, scale on demand, and deploy in weeks instead of months.

Three reasons SMEs choose custom no-code over Cegid
Tailored workflows, not templates
Build approval chains, automated reports, and dashboards that mirror your operations, not a vendor's standard modules.
No per-user fees or seat limits
Pay for infrastructure and development once, then scale your user base without renegotiating contracts or surprise costs.
Full data ownership and portability
Host on your servers or preferred cloud, export at any time, and integrate with any API without proprietary connectors.
Why choose us
How a custom Ksaar solution compares to Cegid
Faster time-to-value and iterative deployment
Cegid implementations often span six to twelve months, with consultants configuring modules and training teams on complex interfaces. A Ksaar build typically launches core workflows in four to eight weeks, because we start with your priority process—purchase-order approval or invoice tracking—and iterate based on real feedback. For example, a sixty-person distributor replaced three Cegid modules with a custom order-entry portal in six weeks, cutting onboarding time from two days to two hours.
Transparent, predictable cost structure
Cegid pricing bundles user seats, module licenses, annual maintenance, and consultant fees, which can climb as your team grows or requirements change. With Ksaar, you invest in upfront development and pay only for hosting or minor feature updates. A forty-person manufacturing SME saved thirty-eight per cent annually by moving invoice automation from Cegid to a custom no-code app, eliminating twelve per-user subscriptions and reducing reliance on external support.
Ownership and long-term flexibility
Proprietary ERP platforms lock your data in specific schemas and limit integration to certified partners. A custom Ksaar solution gives you full source access, open APIs, and the freedom to switch hosting providers or extend functionality without vendor approval. One logistics SME migrated historical Cegid data into Ksaar, connected their WMS and carrier APIs, and now deploys workflow changes in hours instead of filing change requests with a consultant queue.

Common questions about migrating from Cegid to custom no-code
How do we migrate existing Cegid data without disrupting operations?+
We extract records via Cegid's export tools or API, map them to your new Ksaar data model, and run parallel testing so teams validate accuracy before cutover. Most SMEs complete migration over a weekend or phased by department, keeping Cegid in read-only mode until everyone confirms the new system. Historical invoices, client records, and inventory snapshots remain searchable in the custom app.
What does a custom no-code solution cost compared to Cegid licensing?+
Cegid subscriptions typically range from eighty to two hundred euros per user per month, plus implementation and annual maintenance. A Ksaar build starts around fifteen thousand euros for a core workflow—invoice approval, CRM, or inventory dashboard—with hosting from fifty to two hundred euros monthly. Break-even often occurs within twelve to eighteen months, especially for teams above twenty users, because you eliminate recurring seat fees.
Can a no-code platform handle complex ERP functions like multi-entity accounting?+
Ksaar and similar platforms excel at automating repetitive tasks—purchase orders, expense validation, stock alerts—and integrate with specialist accounting software for statutory reporting. If you need deep financial consolidation or multi-currency general ledger, we recommend keeping a lightweight accounting tool and building workflow, approval, and reporting layers in no-code. Many SMEs find this hybrid approach simpler and more cost-effective than a monolithic ERP.
