When the market doesn't have the right answer

We design the solutions your standard tools cannot deliver.

Architecture, development and public funding — orchestrated by a single interlocutor. For SMEs and mid-cap companies facing business challenges that off-the-shelf SaaS doesn't cover.

Preliminary diagnosis

When does custom make sense?

Custom is not the rule. As long as a market tool covers most of the need, that's what to choose. Custom is justified when several signals converge — and when no reasonable adaptation of a standard suffices.

No market tool covers your differentiating business process

The process that constitutes your competitive advantage is not modelled by any ERP, CRM or sector-specific SaaS. Standardising it would commoditise it.

Integration between your existing systems isn't industrialisable

Recurring manual exports, duplicates, re-entry, data reliability degraded by friction between tools — signs that orchestration deserves an integration layer designed for your flows.

You need an abstraction layer over multiple ERPs

Typical case for French subsidiaries of foreign groups: an imposed group ERP, local tools, and a need for operational consistency specific to the subsidiary.

Your regulatory compliance imposes non-standard business rules

Sector-specific CSRD, pharma, agri-food, finance, energy constraints — generic SaaS only models the average, not your specific regulatory perimeter.

Your volumes or performance constraints exceed standard SaaS

High transactional volumes, critical latency, heavy batch processing: above a threshold, generic multi-tenant ceases to be tenable and total cost shifts.

You want to create competitive advantage through tooling

The tool becomes an asset, not a recurring cost. Long-term investment logic — intellectual capitalisation of the company — rather than monthly subscription.

If two or three of these signals converge in your situation, custom deserves study — at least to compare real total cost to that of a stretched standard.

Method

Five steps. Zero improvisation.

Our method articulates three skills that most consultancies separate: strategic business vision, architectural design, and orchestration of public funding. Each step produces a usable deliverable — even if the project stops at that step.

  1. Business framing — We seek to understand the real problem, not just the stated need. Executive interviews, process mapping, IS analysis. Deliverable: shared framing document.

  2. Target architecture — Solution design, reasoned stack choice (build, buy, or hybrid), integration schemas, documented architecture decisions. Deliverable: architecture file usable by any technical team.

  3. Funding plan — Identification and instruction of mobilisable schemes: French CII, CIR, France Num, Bpifrance, EU funds, OPCO. Funding isn't an add-on: it shapes scope, timeline and phasing.

  4. Design & development — Detailed specifications, development (in-house or orchestrated with pre-qualified trusted partners), testing, acceptance. Transparent steering by milestones and shared indicators.

  5. Deployment & autonomy — Progressive go-live, team training (Qualiopi-certified programmes anchored in the project), skills transfer, lasting documentation. Final goal: your operational autonomy.

Differentiation

Why us rather than a consulting firm or a development agency?

Each type of player has its own value. The rare combination — business vision, architectural skill, public funding mastery — is what characterises our positioning as solution architect.

First clients

An offering in active structuring.

We are currently structuring our first client cases in custom solution architecture. If you face a business challenge that off-the-shelf tools don't solve, contact us: we study each request individually. Being among our first cases means a direct relationship with the founder, sustained attention, and the opportunity to co-build the solution over time.

The individual components of this offering — ERP/CRM integration, change management, Qualiopi training, instruction of public funding schemes — stem from the founder's substantial professional experience.
