Less stress, more cash: the duo IABAKO & Pennylane

From quote to accounting, effortlessly

In a growing VSE or SME, juggling between order management, inventory, invoicing and exchanges with the accountant is often a real challenge.

What if every customer order was automatically converted into an accounting entry, without delay and without error?

This is precisely what the IABAKO–Pennylane integration enables: a smooth and invisible flow that directly links operational management to financial steering.

The daily challenges of growing VSEs and SMEs

When a company reaches the €500,000 annual turnover mark , complexity increases. Managers spend an inordinate amount of their time on administrative tasks: re-entering quotes, tracking invoices, customer reminders, stock control, etc.

Time that is neither productive nor value-generating. The need is clear: a simple tool, designed to automate these tasks and provide a reliable view of cash flow.

IABAKO, a French ERP for non-tech executives

IABAKO was created in 2018 in France , by Liliana Chaves Mosquera and José Ortegon.

This software was designed to meet the needs of self-employed people, freelancers, artisans and small multi-sector businesses .

The ambition: to offer a simple and intuitive ERP designed for small French structures but with all the advantages of solutions reserved for large companies.

IABAKO centralizes end-to-end management: B2B orders, synchronization with e-commerce, inventory management (barcodes, reminders, multi-currency, offline), invoicing, deliveries, and even a customer portal. Its users are found in various sectors: communications, consulting, events, distribution, construction, and the food industry.

In summary: a French ERP designed for managers who want to manage their business without getting lost in software gas factories .

Pennylane, augmented and collaborative accounting

For his part, Pennylane establishes itself as an all-in-one accounting and financial platform for French businesses : customer invoices, suppliers, cash flow, payments, bank reconciliations.

Its advantage : offering a consolidated, real-time financial view for the manager, while strengthening collaboration with the accountant.

In 2025, Pennylane has definitely established itself as a central player in accounting digitalization in France, notably thanks to its powerful API integrations.

The IABAKO ↔ Pennylane integration: a seamless flow

The IABAKO-Pennylane integration allows you to directly connect the operational ERP to accounting:

• Invoices issued in IABAKO are automatically synchronized in Pennylane ,

  
  

• The accounting is kept on a rolling basis , without re-entry or delay,

  
  

• Errors disappear and cash flow is continuously monitored .

This seamless connection between these two apps transforms day-to-day management: data passes directly from customer orders to accounting entries, without friction.

Let’s look at two concrete cases

Julien, manager of an e-commerce SME

Julien runs an online high-tech accessories company that has just reached €600K in turnover .

Before, his daily life was punctuated by double entries: quotes and invoices in the ERP, then Excel export for accounting.

The result: errors, delays and unclear cash flow.

With IABAKO , Julien manages his orders, inventory, and deliveries from a single interface. Thanks to the Pennylane integration , each invoice is automatically sent to the accounting system.

Today, he saves a lot of time every day, he can view his cash flow in real time and can anticipate his stock supplies without waiting for the monthly closing and with complete peace of mind.

Nadia, creator of a food brand

Nadia started a small business making and selling gourmet cookies. Her products are distributed both online and through gourmet food stores.

Before, she spent her evenings re-entering invoices and tracking her stock on Excel, with cash flow always being approximate.

With IABAKO , she now manages her multi-channel orders and inventory in real time. And, thanks to the integration with Pennylane , each invoice is automatically transferred to accounting.

Result : his cash flow is constantly up to date and his accountant can support him on strategic decisions (new range, financing of an additional oven) rather than correcting incomplete figures.

Conclusion: An essential integration for those seeking simplicity

The IABAKO–Pennylane integration is not a technical gimmick. It's a strategic lever for SMEs that want to grow without getting bogged down by administrative tasks.
