Testimonials
FARITAS saves us considerable time by avoiding the need to handle each local authority individually.
- CEO, guestadom
Before, we printed our declarations and sent them to every local authority. It was archaic. FARITAS has changed everything.
- Director, Gîtes de France Var (83)
FARITAS reduced report creation time by 68% and requests from municipalities dropped by 79%.

Today, one submission is enough. It is a gain and a truly significant improvement.
