How Graneet automates accounting workflows thanks to Chift’s Unified API

Graneet set out to offer construction SMEs a seamless way to manage their financial workflows without building and maintaining many accounting integrations. By partnering with Chift and adopting the Unified Accounting API, they transformed a complex technical challenge into an automated, scalable, and user-friendly experience.

Graneet develops an ERP solution dedicated to construction-sector SMEs generating between €2M and €50M in revenue, helping them better protect their profitability.

To help their customers streamline financial operations, it was essential for them to offer reliable integrations with the main accounting tools used on the market. But increasing the technical burden on their teams risked pulling them away from their core mission.

Until now, Graneet only offered FEC file exports (Fichier des Écritures Comptables).

“Our priority is to deliver a complete construction-focused ERP. We offer a pre-accounting layer adapted to the specificities of the construction industry, but we’re not looking to replace existing accounting tools. The goal is to integrate as simply as possible.” Enzo Dozias, CPO and Co-founder of Graneet

As their customer base expanded, the diversity of accounting tools used (Sage, Pennylane, etc.) quickly highlighted the need for a centralized and scalable approach.

To simplify integration with market-leading accounting software, Graneet decided to adopt Chift’s Unified API.

This connection enables clients to automatically synchronize their accounting data without manual intervention.

“Every tool has its strengths. Graneet excels at supporting construction companies, but to complete the value chain, you must be able to connect all the way to the client’s accounting system. Faced with the sheer number of tools on the market, developing every integration internally is unrealistic. That’s why Graneet chose to partner with Chift, to simplify these connections. This collaboration creates a win-win-win situation: a win for construction SMEs, a win for finance teams who automate data collection, and a win for software vendors who form new partnerships without the burden of maintaining integrations.” Gauthier Henroz, CEO of Chift

Key features of the integration:

• Sales invoice export: invoices created in Graneet are sent directly to the accounting tool.
• Vendor invoice import: purchase invoices can be linked to a project for analytical tracking.
• Payment synchronization: tracking customer payments and vendor settlements.
• Chart of accounts configuration: each company can apply its own accounting structure to ensure data compliance.

This integration is now a cornerstone of Graneet’s product strategy to become the “system of record” across the entire management chain—from quotes to profitability, including accounting transmission. By connecting to the most widely used accounting systems (Pennylane, MyUnisoft, ACD, Sage100...), Graneet can support more structured businesses and reduce complexity related to fiscal obligations.

• Time and technical workload savings: one API to manage all connections, without multiplying internal developments.
• Error reduction: accounting data is transmitted without re-entry, reducing inconsistencies.
• Improved customer experience: clients save time every day, and their accountants continue working with the tools they already know.
• Sales enablement: native compatibility with major accounting tools reassures prospects from the demo stage onward.

Integrating Chift’s API has allowed us to combine ease of use for our customers with technical efficiency for our product team. This partnership enables us to stay focused on our mission: helping construction SMEs better manage and protect their profitability.
