Today, managing and sending an invoice or even a letter has become a waste of time in terms of timely delivery as well as the increase in the price of stamps.
Ten years ago, Edilink created an opportunity in the development of services for their company, with the two co-directors (Michael Assor and Jonathan Zerbit), by offering mail management and document dematerialization solutions for trustees. co-ownership and businesses.
If in 2013 nothing blossomed for the future, after 10 years of experience and investment we see the results of the completed project, a project which will become fully usable from January 1, 2026. As today, requests to administration must be done online and not in offices, the same will apply to companies and co-ownership trustees.
The company has more than 260 recurring customers in 2023 thanks to the quality of its services. The desire and passion of the two managers, as well as the need for the company’s development, led them to call on Entreprise & Décisions to carry out their development project.
A real race against time is underway in the mail management market, where the dematerialization of mail will take a new turn with electronic invoicing becoming mandatory for companies from 2026.
Ariane Capdev and Edilink now have all the cards to succeed in its shift towards digital, achieve external growth and take full advantage of the context of dematerialization which is becoming widespread. Its two shareholder directors retain the majority of the capital of the new holding company and will continue to manage the company surrounded by their 18 employees.
But who are the players in this major project, which helps businesses and co-ownership trustees?
In 2013, Michael Assor and Jonathan Zerbit created Edilink, which supports companies in their activities related to paper and electronic mail management, a project which began 10 years ago. More than 90% of its professional expertise is dedicated to property managers and co-ownership trustees. These services are aimed at anyone who wishes to outsource and automate their administrative management. In 2 years, between 2021 and 2023, the company achieves growth of more than 145% in its turnover (share capital). Based in the Ile de France region, the company manages a portfolio of more than 260 clients.
EDILINK has reorganized its capital with new partners
In December, Entreprise & Décisions signed a new capital transaction with Edilink, specialist in multi-channel mail solutions, reorganized its capital and opened an opportunity to join forces with Ariane CapDev. This capital-intensive operation strengthens the capacity of Edilink and its managers to further develop the offering of digital services for co-ownership managers, which is already experiencing strong growth.
