Alternative to FakturaBAI: discover why Holded is the best option

If you use FakturaBAI and need a more complete solution to manage your business, Holded offers TicketBAI-compliant invoicing along with accounting, CRM, and much more in a single platform.

What is FakturaBAI?

FakturaBAI is invoicing software developed to meet the requirements of the TicketBAI system in the Basque Country. It allows freelancers and businesses to issue invoices that comply with Basque tax regulations, including electronic signing, invoice chaining, and automatic submission to the Regional Tax Authorities.

Limitations of FakturaBAI

Although FakturaBAI meets the basic TicketBAI requirements, it has some limitations that can affect your business productivity:

• Invoicing only: it does not include accounting, project management, or CRM.
• No bank connectivity: it does not allow automatic bank transaction reconciliation.
• Limited reports: it lacks advanced dashboards and real-time financial analysis.
• No inventory management: it does not offer stock control or warehouse management.
• Limited scalability: it may not be sufficient as your business grows.
