Septeo acquires its German counterpart

Fnac Darty, EDF, Foncia, Wonderbox, and Century21 are just some of the companies that have chosen Septeo to optimize their productivity, manage massive volumes of sensitive documents, and process complex accounting files. With the acquisition of its German counterpart stp.one, Septeo has increased its workforce to 3,600 employees, a third of whom will be dedicated exclusively to R&D, a strategic lever that is essential in the French software publisher's sector of activity.

"The acquisition of stp.one is a major strategic accelerator for Septeo. It allows us to scale up and is part of a strong conviction: to create a European champion in LegalTech, one that is independent and guarantees technological sovereignty in the legal professions, which are essential to the democracies of our continent," said Septeo CEO Hugues Galambrun.

stp.one is a German platform that helps accounting and law firms automate and optimize their business processes (billing, case management, and workflow). It centralizes management tools to simplify administrative tasks, improve productivity, and reduce errors.

Thanks to this acquisition, Septeo will significantly expand its European footprint. By adding stp.one's strong positions in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and several Northern European markets to its already established presence in France, the Iberian Peninsula, and Benelux, the company now operates in more than 10 European markets, confirming its ambition to become a software benchmark on the Old Continent.

Septeo's desire to scale up and become a European leader has even been praised by the Minister of Economy, Roland Lescure: "I am delighted to see one of our gems strengthen its leadership in a strategic market. This acquisition illustrates the power of our ecosystem. Yes, we know how to conquer, innovate, and protect our technological sovereignty. It is also further proof that France and Europe know how to build the giants of tomorrow together."
