01
Just the basics
An office, a consultant, a small trader. A few people. No stock to count.
Quotes, invoices, customers, money in and out, and the reports your accountant asks for. Nothing else on the screen.
Is it for you?
Will this work for my business?
Probably, and here is how to check in two minutes. Horizon213 is one place to write your invoices, follow your money, watch your stock and pay your people. You tell it what kind of business you are, and it hides everything you do not use. A shop with two people and a group with six companies both fit — they just do not see the same screens.
How it works, in four steps
This is the whole idea. If these four sentences make sense, the software will make sense.
1. You say what your business does
A shop. A wholesaler with a van. A workshop that makes things. An office that sells its time. You pick one at setup, and Horizon213 switches off every screen that kind of business never opens.
2. You bring in what you already have
Your customers, your suppliers, your product list, what people still owe you, and what is on your shelves. It comes in from a spreadsheet, so nobody retypes a year of work.
3. Your team does the day's work
Write a quote. Turn it into an invoice. Take the money. Send the van out. Receive goods from a supplier. Each screen asks for what the person doing that job already knows.
4. The numbers add themselves up
Every action writes itself into stock, cash and the accounts at the same moment. Nobody adds it up again at month end, and any figure can be opened to see the document behind it.
Find your kind of business
One of these is chosen when a company is created, and it decides what the team sees on day one. It can be changed later, and each switch can be turned on or off one at a time.
02
A shop with a till
You sell over a counter, and you also invoice some customers properly.
The basics, plus a till that scans, takes cash, prints a ticket and keeps selling when the internet drops — plus stock and purchases.
03
You deliver
A wholesaler or distributor. Goods go out on a van most mornings.
The shop set, plus delivery rounds: load the van, print the sheet with every address and amount, settle each stop, count the bag at the end of the day.
04
You sell your time
An agency, a maintenance company, a bureau d'études, an installer.
The basics, plus projects with tasks and dates, your team, leave, and monthly payroll with CNAS and IRG.
05
You staff other people's places
A gardiennage company, a cleaning company, a facility contractor. Your people work at your clients' addresses, not yours.
A register of the sites you cover, who is posted to each one and whether it is short, the attendance month behind it, payroll with night hours and CNAS — and each site read against what you bill for it.
06
You build
A builder or an installer running more than one chantier at a time.
Chantiers with the crew posted to each, materials and stock, your equipment, work orders, and what each chantier has cost in labour so far.
07
You make what you sell
A workshop, a small factory. Raw materials go in, finished goods come out.
Stock and purchases, plus a recipe per product and a batch that takes the materials out and puts the finished goods back at what they really cost you.
08
You cook it and sell it
A restaurant, a bakery, a café. You make what you sell, over a counter.
A till that keeps selling when the internet drops, a recipe per product, batches costed from your own materials, stock and purchases, and the team behind them.
09
All of it
A bigger business, or a group of companies under one owner.
Every module on, several companies on one installation, each with its own books, and one read-only view that adds them up.
What people worry about before they call
These are the four things people say first. None of them is a reason to stop reading.
01
I only have one company. Is this too big for me?
No. Most businesses using Horizon213 have one company and always will. Multi-company is there for the ones that grow into it, and it stays out of the way until then — a single company never sees a group view or a company switcher with nothing in it. What decides whether Horizon213 fits is what you need it to do, not how many companies you own.
02
We are only three or four people. Are we too small?
No. A small team is the easiest case, because the company profile leaves four or five screens on the whole system and hides the rest. A three-person shop sees a till, invoices and stock; it never meets payroll, fixed assets or work orders on its way to writing an invoice. You can turn more on the day you need it, without moving to another product.
03
Nobody here is good with computers. Can we still use it?
Yes, and this is what Horizon213 is built around. Each screen has one obvious next step, plain business words instead of accounting words, and a summary in normal language before anything is saved. It works in Arabic, French and English, and each person picks their own. There are written guides with pictures of the real screens, and the person who answers the phone will walk your team through their own daily work.
04
What happens when the internet cuts in the middle of a sale?
The till keeps working. Sales are kept on the device and sent as soon as the line comes back, and a recovery screen lists anything still waiting; re-sending a queued sale can never charge a customer twice. A delivery van leaves with a printed sheet carrying every address, phone number and amount to collect, and the round is settled when it returns. The other screens do need a connection.
You will get value from Horizon213 if
Any one of these on its own is enough. You do not need all of them.
- Your invoices are made in Word or Excel and the numbering has already gone wrong once
- You cannot say today, without asking someone, how much money customers owe you
- What the shelf says and what the file says are not the same number
- The same customer, price or product gets typed into three different places
- Your accountant asks for papers at the end of the year and it takes days to gather them
- People work in Arabic on the floor and in French in the office, and the software only speaks one of them
- You sell over a counter, on a van, on invoice, or all three
- You make what you sell and do not really know what one unit costs you
- Payroll, CNAS and IRG are done by hand every month
- You want the whole thing on your own server, with the source code, and no subscription that can be switched off
- You have a second company now, or you will have one
What Horizon213 does not do
Said here rather than discovered after the invoice. These are limits of the software, not of your business.
- It does not file your declarations. It prepares the VAT and payroll working papers; your accountant files them.
- It is not manufacturing planning software — no work centres, routings, machine scheduling or MRP.
- It does not trace which exact batch a particular sale came from. It records lot numbers and expiry dates, which is enough for most, and not enough for a regulated product.
- It is not run for you by an outside team. Somebody in the business learns it — usually in an afternoon — because the person who knows your business should be the one holding it.
- It is not free. It is one price for the deployment, not a subscription per person per month forever.
Not sure? Ask.
Call and describe your business in two minutes, in Arabic, French or English. You will get a straight answer about whether Horizon213 helps you, what it would look like for your business, and what it would cost — on that call, not after a demonstration.
