Freedz, the platform for real estate and construction professionals, officially registered by the DGFiP (French Public Finance Directorate)
The DGFiP has confirmed the definitive registration of Freedz, the platform dedicated to real estate professionals powered by Docoon.immo. The required regulatory tests have been passed: inter-platform exchanges, connection to the Directory, and data transmission to the DGFiP hub. For social landlords and co-ownership associations in particular, this means an immediate advantage: reduced regulatory risk, the ability to industrialize the management of capital calls, and the choice of a "safe" partner specializing in the real estate sector. In a context where several players remain registered "subject to approval," this validation is a real game-changer for real estate and construction professionals.
Quick summary of the article
- Freedz has obtained definitive registration from the DGFiP (French Public Finance Directorate) and operates as an Approved Platform dedicated to real estate.
- Key benefits: operational compliance, interoperability with the ecosystem, and scalability adapted to industry volumes.
- For social landlords / Property managers / Accounts payable managers / CFOs & CIOs in the real estate and construction sector: flows that comply with reform requirements, traceability of capital calls, legal archiving, and consolidated management.
- Specific business cases covered: centralization of capital calls, automation of work management, integration with ERP/industry-specific software (Aareon, Sopra, etc.).
- Recommended action: launch a pilot audit dedicated to real estate flows (supplier invoices, capital calls, work status reports).
Why this registration changes the game
The registration proves that Freedz complies with the technical requirements of the reform—but it goes further: it certifies that the solution has been tested in its specific business areas (fund calls, multi-co-ownerships, RNIC formats). For real estate players, this reduces the risk of regulatory incompatibility and enables the industrialization of critical uses (massification of supplier invoice volumes to be processed, centralization of capital calls, accounting reconciliation, work situations). Freedz thus confirms its unique position as an Approved Platform for real estate and construction, capable of supporting the regulatory transition to electronic invoicing reform.
What this means for players in the real estate and construction sectors
Compliance and peace of mind
Freedz manages the required formats, time stamping, and legal archiving. For lenders, this means a clear response to audits and a significant reduction in regulatory risk.
Control of capital calls
Freedz centralizes fund calls (via RNIC or import), groups each co-ownership as a supplier, and automates validation, routing, and accounting integration. The time savings and reduction in errors are immediate.
Validation of work situations
Freedz automates the processing of invoices related to work situations, facilitating reconciliation, limiting manual errors, reducing time wasted exchanging documents with subcontractors, and eliminating paper processing once and for all.
Business continuity
DGFiP validation limits the risk of interruption. You can absorb peaks in activity without having to set up additional teams thanks to a scalable platform.
Field evidence: " Freedz's Work Management module is interesting; it will give us more flexibility (...) Implementing the solution will enable us to improve our payment times and also streamline complex management. With Freedz, the project manager's time-stamped signature puts an end to all kinds of complications: lost invoices, missing signatures, delayed mail, difficulty knowing when the architect has received the work status report, etc. " - Vincent Cailheton, Accounting and Tax Director at Domofrance.
What this means for CFOs, CIOs, and Accounts Payable
Integration & automation of flows
The platform centralizes fund calls, supplier invoices, and work statuses in a single interface and integrates natively with ERP/sector-specific software (Aareon, Sopra, etc.) via connectors and APIs. Freedz automates third-party mapping and RNIC imports, eliminates double entries, and reduces matching errors. The result: your accounting processes become smoother and faster.
Financial management & cash flow
Freedz provides dashboards tailored to the real estate sector for tracking statuses, deadlines, and outstanding amounts by portfolio. Treasury and accounting teams gain visibility to prioritize reminders and optimize working capital. Centralized data enables faster decisions and consolidated monitoring by entity or co-ownership.
Business processes & operational support
Configurable workflows (multi-stakeholder validation, amendments, "Work Situations" module) cover specific cases in the sector and ensure the traceability of validations. Freedz complements the solution with dedicated support (diagnostics, pilot, Customer Success Manager) to ensure a smooth ramp-up and facilitate adoption by your teams.

🚀Field test : " The first benefit is the improvement in the audit trail, meaning that there is real traceability of what is received. Now, if a supplier calls us to be paid, we know exactly where their invoice is, whether it has been filed and, if so, where it is in the workflow. For example, we no longer waste time locating an invoice sent to one of our branches, as everything is centralized! And there is no more paper waste..." – Laurent Brabant, Chief Financial Officer of Maisons & Cités.

FAQ: Electronic invoicing reform & registration with the DGFiP (French Public Finance Directorate)
Q1 – What is a PDP or PA?
The PDP (Partner Dematerialization Platform), now called the Approved Platform (PA), refers to a service provider recognized and registered by the tax authorities. Its role is to issue, receive, and transmit electronic invoices on behalf of its customers, in accordance with the formats required by regulations (Factur-X, UBL, CII) and the requirements of the reform.
At the same time, it participates in the e-reporting system by securely transmitting billing data to the DGFiP. It also guarantees the traceability and legal compliance of information and the reliable archiving of exchanged invoices.
Please note: the Freedz platform has successfully completed the entire evaluation process. It has therefore received final approval from the DGFiP and is now one of the first Approved Platforms officially recognized by the DGFiP.
Q2 – What does registering a PA mean, and what are the main steps involved?
Registration is the process by which the DGFiP issues official authorization allowing a platform to operate as an Approved Platform (PA). Without this approval, the platform is not authorized to transmit electronic invoices or VAT data on behalf of companies.
This process involves several stages: submission of a complete application (including the operator's identity, technical documentation, and security evidence), review by the Platform Registration Service, and then audits and tests to verify the system's compliance and interoperability before it is added to the official list of APs recognized by the administration.
Q3 – What are the risks of choosing a PA that is "registered subject to approval" and has not yet confirmed its final approval?
A PA with "conditional registration" is still in the validation phase; if it does not obtain final approval, it may lose its status and no longer be authorized to process your electronic invoicing flows. In practical terms, this may require you to urgently migrate to another PA, with the risk of service interruption, duplicate integration developments, and temporary non-compliance with the tax authorities.
