Questions

Questions people ask before they commit

Answers that stay true when quoted out of context, including the places where Horizon213 deliberately stops.

01

What is Horizon213?

Horizon213 is one place to run a business: write quotes and invoices, follow the money customers owe you, watch what is on the shelves, buy from suppliers, and pay your staff. Doing all of that in one system instead of separate ones is what people mean by an ERP. It runs in a browser, works in Arabic, French and English, and can sit on your own server or on one Horizon213 provides.

02

Do I have to use all of it?

No, and most businesses do not. You choose the kind of business you are when a company is created — shop, distributor, services, workshop, or just the basics — and every screen that kind of business never opens is switched off. Each one is a single switch in settings afterwards, so you can turn something on the day you need it without changing product or moving your data.

03

How long does it take before we can actually use it?

The setup itself is short: creating the company, its fiscal identifiers and its module set is configuration with Algerian defaults, not development. What takes the real time is bringing in your existing customers, suppliers, catalogue, opening stock and open balances, which import from checked CSV templates rather than being retyped. Your team is then walked through their own daily work in the language they work in.

04

How much does Horizon213 cost?

Pricing depends on how many companies and people the deployment covers, and whether you host it yourself. It is a price for the deployment rather than a subscription per person per month. Call 0542 58 14 51 or message the same number on WhatsApp for a figure for your situation.

05

Is Horizon213 suitable for a small business?

Yes, and small businesses are the easiest case. A business profile turns modules off at setup, so a shop with three people sees a till, invoices and stock rather than payroll, fixed assets and work orders. There is no minimum number of users, no minimum number of companies, and the same installation grows into a group of companies later without a migration.

06

We only have one company. Is Horizon213 still worth it?

Yes. Most businesses running Horizon213 have one company and always will, and a single company never sees a group view or an empty company switcher. Multi-company is there for the ones that grow into it and stays out of the way until then. What decides whether Horizon213 fits is what you need it to do — invoices that add up, stock that matches the shelf, books an accountant can use — not how many companies you own.

07

Nobody in the business is comfortable with software. Can we still use it?

Yes. Each screen has one obvious next step, uses business words rather than accounting words, and shows a plain-language summary before anything is saved. Every person picks their own language between Arabic, French and English. Written guides show the real screens with pictures, and the editor walks the people who will use it through their own daily work rather than through a feature tour.

08

Does Horizon213 work in Arabic?

Yes, fully. The interface, the printed documents and the user guides all exist in Arabic, French and English, and each person chooses their own. Arabic is laid out right to left throughout, not mirrored French.

09

Does Horizon213 handle Algerian fiscal identifiers?

Yes. NIF, NIS, RC, article d'imposition, fiscal regime and address are set once per company and printed on every document. Customer and supplier records carry their own identifiers, and VAT applies at 19%, 9% or exempt per line.

10

Does Horizon213 file the G50?

No. It reconciles posted VAT against the sales and supplier schedules, uses a monthly working period for the real regime and a quarterly one for the simplified regime, and raises timing differences and incomplete supplier data as exceptions. That prepares the working papers. Filing and statutory review stay with your accountant, and the screen says so.

11

Can I run several companies on one installation?

Yes. Each company keeps its own numbering, currency, tax profile, warehouses, people and permissions. A read-only group view combines the figures, and every value can be traced back to the company that produced it.

12

Can Horizon213 handle production or manufacturing?

Yes, for making something from your own raw materials. Each finished product gets one recipe — what goes into it and how much, with an optional allowance for what gets spoiled. A dated production order takes those materials out of the store when it starts, at the same moving average every other outgoing movement uses, and puts the finished goods back in when it ends at what they really cost: materials plus whatever labour and charges you attribute to the batch. Waste is counted rather than costed separately, so the good units carry the whole cost and the cost per unit rises. Deliberately absent: production planning and MRP, work centres, routings, machine scheduling, and multi-level recipe explosion.

13

Does Horizon213 do payroll, CNAS and IRG?

Yes, monthly and accounting-led. An accountant sets each employee's salary once, prepares the month, and the run computes CNAS employee and employer contributions, the seniority premium from the collective agreement, overtime at the legal uplift, days actually paid — prefilled from approved unpaid leave — and IRG on the published 2026 salary bands with its abatement. Posting records the employer cost, the social and tax liabilities, and pays the net from a treasury account in one controlled step. Every employee gets a trilingual payslip, the month produces a payroll register and a CNAS contribution recap, and a year produces the annual salary listing. Horizon213 prepares those declarations; it does not file them, and it does not split contributions into CNAS branches, because those sub-rates depend on what your company is registered under.

14

Does Horizon213 produce the bilan and the TCR?

Yes, in SCF presentation with the previous year beside the current one, from your own posted journal. It is a financial statement, not a filed liasse fiscale: the annexes, the tax reconciliation and the statutory review stay with your accountant, and any account the statements cannot place in a rubric is listed openly rather than dropped from the totals.

15

Who builds Horizon213?

One editor in Algeria, working in Arabic, French and English, who answers the phone and can also change the software — which a reseller cannot. The editor's registration details are given in writing with any quotation and on request before that. There is a page about this: /company.

16

What happens to my installation if Horizon213 disappears?

A self-hosted deployment ships with its source on your own server, with the right to keep running and modifying it. There is no licence key to expire, no activation server, and nothing that phones home for permission, so the ERP keeps working exactly as it did the day before. Your data is a plain PostgreSQL database you can dump any day, and the books export to CSV for an accountant without giving anyone access to the system.

17

What changes the price?

How many companies the deployment covers, how many people use it, and whether you host it yourself or Horizon213 hosts it. Pricing is not published because those three answers move it too much for a figure on a page to be honest. Call 0542 58 14 51 or message the same number on WhatsApp for a figure for your situation.

18

Can I host Horizon213 on my own server?

Yes. The application builds to a standalone server and can run on your own infrastructure. The same codebase is what runs hosted, so self-hosting is not a reduced version.

19

What happens when the internet goes down?

The counter sale till queues sales on the device and keeps selling, then sends them when the connection returns; a recovery screen lists anything still waiting. Delivery rounds carry a printed round sheet and can be settled on return. The rest of the ERP needs a connection.

20

Can I bring in the data I already have?

Yes. Customers, suppliers, the product catalogue, open customer and supplier balances, and valued opening stock all import from CSV, so you start from your real position rather than an empty database.

21

Who can see what?

Access is granted per person and per company, with roles for owner, manager, accountant, team member and read-only. A cashier can be given the till alone; an accountant can be given the books; an investor can be given figures they cannot change.

22

Can I correct a mistake?

Yes, by reversing it. Nothing posted is edited in place: an invoice is corrected by a credit note, a delivery by a reversal, a payment by a reversal. Months later the trail still explains itself, which is the point.

23

Is there an AI assistant?

Optionally. Horizon213 AI answers questions about your own figures and can run built-in workflows. It is off by default and stays off until an installation enables it and supplies its own provider key, so no data leaves without that decision being made deliberately.

24

How do I get started?

Open the demo to see the working interface with sample data, read the guides for the tasks you care about, then call 0542 58 14 51 to talk about your own setup.

Talk to someone about your own setup

A demo shows what the product does. A conversation is what tells you whether it fits how your business actually trades — how many companies, which modules, what you already have to bring in.
