The schedule lives in a spreadsheet
One column per technician, one colour per status, and a different version on every computer. Nobody knows which one is right at 7 in the morning.
Scheduling, the field app, invoicing and production-statement checks in a single platform. Your team reads and works in English; quotes (devis), invoices and décomptes still come out in French. Your teams enter data once — and you finally know what every job actually earns you.
To schedule — drag onto the board
The problem
In BTP and telecom subcontracting, money is almost never lost on the worksite. It is lost in the gaps between the field, the office and the invoice.
One column per technician, one colour per status, and a different version on every computer. Nobody knows which one is right at 7 in the morning.
Site photos stay on the technician’s phone. Six months later the dispute arrives — and the proof is gone with the phone.
Jobs completed but never invoiced show up nowhere. Lost revenue makes no noise in any spreadsheet.
Hundreds of lines, references that never quite match. Checking line by line takes two days — so you sign.
“Where are you at?” fifteen times a day. The owner becomes the company’s central server, and nothing moves without them.
The selling price is known, the real cost is not: hours spent, kilometres, materials, subcontracting. A worksite’s profitability is read a year too late.
What about the tools you already have?
Each one does its own job well. None holds the chain end to end — and it is precisely between the tools that the money gets lost.
It does not follow the technician onto the worksite, keeps no photo evidence, and cannot tell you that a completed job was never invoiced. It costs nothing — as long as you count neither the hours spent maintaining it, nor what it lets slip through.
It manages articles, orders and stock very well. But your contracts’ activity codes, production statements and right-of-way permits do not exist in its model: you pay for them in custom development, then pay again at every version upgrade.
It stops where your trade begins: the morning schedule, the technician on the road, the report that will stand as proof six months later. The invoice is only the last link — provided someone has checked that it matches the work actually done.
BL Next covers the whole chain — from the morning schedule to money in the bank, in one and the same database.
The answer
Every link writes to the same database as the next. What the technician records at the roadside is exactly what gets invoiced.
Created by hand or imported from the prime contractor.
Assigned, scheduled, route optimised.
The technician starts, measures, photographs.
Guided questionnaire, photos checked.
Every job priced against the contract rate card.
The client’s statement matched line by line.
Generated on the net amount actually stated.
Paid: the jobs settle themselves.
The field
The technician workspace installs straight onto the phone’s home screen — no app store, no per-device licence.

Their leave
Requested from the phone, counted under the BTP scheme, managers notified.
Their expense claims
Receipt photographed, read by AI, reimbursement tracked by name.
Their locations and vault
Depots, branches, encrypted access credentials — revealed on demand and logged.
Their notifications
Native push on the phone: schedule sent, inspection requested, mention on a work order.
International teams
The office and the field app both exist in French, Portuguese and English. The documents and the rules, however, stay French — your clients, your accountant and your principals are the ones reading them.
Your Portuguese-speaking or English-speaking crews work without a translator, and the company stays compliant in France. Nothing has to be re-entered between the two.
Routes
The schedule builds the day’s route, optimises it on real roads and sends it back to the technician’s phone in the right order.
Oversight
Not at year-end. Not quarterly. That same evening — job by job, team by team, contract by contract.

Invoicing
Production statements
The prime contractor’s production statement (décompte PPD) imports as XLSX or CSV. The structure is first recognised from the headers, with no AI and no cost; AI only steps in as a fallback, and only to say which column is which. No amount is ever read by an AI.
Three-stage matching
Attachment number (tolerant of leading zeros), then the ND indexed from your operator imports, then an AI suggestion accepted only above 80 % confidence.
Typed lines
Service, correction (a statement is immutable — adjustments arrive in the next one) or accepted deduction.
Four discrepancy types
Jobs missing from the statement, underpaid lines, overpaid lines, orphaned lines — with a total to claim back, in euros.
All the way to payment
An invoice generated on the net amount stated, then a payment that moves jobs from invoiced to paid and closes the statement.

Artificial intelligence
AI fills in your forms from your documents. It decides nothing, reads no amount from a tabular file, and every call is billed at a flat rate known in advance.

Copilot
23 work orders completed and validated are not yet invoiced on this contract, for 31 480 € excl. VAT. 9 of them show a discrepancy against the July PPD statement.

The statement shown earlier on this page — an example, built on fictional data — left 4 310 € unclaimed in a single month. At the price of the Pilotage plan, that is 52 months of subscription. We do not promise your statements hide the same amount: we give you the means to check it line by line — something nobody does by hand across three hundred lines.
Nothing to pay for 14 days
No credit card asked at sign-up, no invoice issued during the trial.
Your data stays yours
Excel and CSV exports, bulk download of receipts, read API — from day one.
If you decide not to continue
The trial workspace and its data are deleted at the term set by the Terms of Service (art. 8), after two e-mail warnings.
No sales follow-up
No calls from a sales rep, no canvassing: your contact details are never sold or passed on.
Questions
A workspace takes two minutes to create, with no credit card. The operator portal export imports as is, with no reformatting; bank statements drop in as CSV, Excel, PDF or even a photo; production statements (décomptes PPD) import as XLSX or CSV. You rebuild nothing by hand to see the platform run on your own data.
Yes, at no extra cost: during the trial we help you import your existing data and set up your completion questionnaires, the part most specific to your trade. A support module is also built into the platform, and you can write to us directly at contact@blnext.eu.
No. Modules switch on separately: many companies start with the schedule and the field app, then open finance once the habit has settled in. A disabled module simply disappears from the sidebar.
Not from an app store. The technician workspace is an installable web app: the technician opens the address, adds the page to their home screen, and it behaves like a native app — icon, full screen, notifications. It works on Android and iPhone alike.
Yes. The interface reads in French, Portuguese and English — the technician’s mobile app included — and everyone picks their own language in their profile: the owner can stay in French while the crews work in Portuguese. What does not change language are the documents and the figures: an invoice, a job sheet or an accounting export stays French, and dates and amounts keep the French format (12/08/2026, 1 500,00 €). That is deliberate: what you read on screen has to match the paper in your hand.
No, and that is deliberate. On a bank statement or a production statement, AI is only used to identify the structure of the file — which column is the date, which is the amount — from a sample of a few lines. Every value is then read by the program, line by line, with no AI. On PDF or photo invoices, extraction returns a confidence score and remains subject to your validation.
Nothing blocks except AI itself. Every operation is debited at a flat rate known in advance (1 credit for an invoice, 3 for a bank statement), a failed call costs nothing, and you can buy an extra pack of credits at any time. The administrator can also cut off a user’s AI access in one click.
Yes. Accounting exports in French Excel format (transactions, purchases, sales, accounting codes already filled in), Excel export of time tracking, CSV export of statement discrepancies, bulk ZIP download of receipts by month or by year, and a public read-only API for your own tools or your accountant.
Platform data is hosted in the European Union: server in France, database in Sweden. Three services remain American and are named in the privacy policy — email delivery, the AI, and the browsers’ push notification servers; what is sent to them is covered by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. We would rather write it down than let you believe in a “100% European” that would not be true.
Yes, and the tool blocks rather than merely warns. In France the principal is jointly liable if its subcontractor uses undeclared labour: a URSSAF vigilance certificate less than six months old, the ten-year liability insurance (décennale), a Kbis. Compliance status is recomputed from the documents on file — nothing is typed in by hand, so nothing can be faked — and as long as one document is missing, the subcontracting order can neither be created nor moved forward. Reverse-charge VAT is flagged as you type but never blocked: exceptions do exist.
The core — worksites, work orders, scheduling, the field app, quotes, invoices, HR, stock, fleet, finance — has nothing telecom about it. The truly specific building blocks (fibre technical points, operator export import, analysed intervention sheets, production statements) live in separate modules you simply never switch on: the detailed comparison in the Pricing section says exactly which ones.
The first plan is sized for very small businesses. You can add users one at a time as you grow, without changing plan, and the prorated amount is calculated automatically.
No fixed term. The trial lasts 14 days with no credit card. After that, the subscription can be cancelled from your workspace, and annual billing works out to two months free compared with monthly.
Create your workspace, choose your plan, invite your team. Fourteen days to make up your mind, no credit card.
