Quadient climbs three places to 14th among French software publishers
In a press release published on November 13, 2026, Quadient announced that it had climbed three places compared with 2025 in the Top 250 ranking of French software publishers compiled by EY and Numeum. The group now ranks 14th and retains 3rd place among horizontal software publishers.
The group based this ranking on indicators from its Digital activity and on its role in the deployment of electronic invoicing in France.
A software market driven by generative AI
According to the EY and Numeum study, the French software publishing market (excluding video games) grew by 5.2% in 2025, and the horizontal software publishers segment by 11%. The study notes that 80% of the publishers surveyed have integrated generative AI features into their solutions, and that 51% have already put them into production.
Quadient stated that it is integrating AI at the core of its financial automation and customer communication solutions. In June, the group added an AI-based cash management dashboard to its finance automation offering. This tool brings together accounts payable and accounts receivable in order to improve operational efficiency and working capital management.
Digital activity: €264 million in ARR and 15.6% of SIRET numbers in France
As of the end of July, the annual recurring revenue (ARR) of the Digital activity reached €264 million, up 12.9% on an annualized organic basis. The EBITDA of this activity increased by 17% organically, with a margin up 1.3 points. At group level, free cash flow amounted to €34 million in the first half.
In France, as of the end of October 2026, Quadient's platform was processing electronic invoices for more than 1.05 million entities (SIRET), representing 15.6% of all SIRET numbers in the country. More than 4 million invoices have already been processed through it.
The group was also named a "Leader" this year by IDC for customer communications management and accounts receivable automation, as well as by QKS Group for accounts payable automation.
Geoffrey Godet, chief executive officer, cited an "acceleration in order intake" and set the course: "Our priority is clear: to make Digital our primary activity in terms of revenue and EBITDA by 2030, while continuing targeted investments and financial discipline."
