Nomadia symboliss the entrepreneurial dynamics of tech in France and aims to promote local know-how at an international level.

 

Nomadia is the result of the merger of three renowned French software publishers with complementary expertise in the field of mobility: GEOCONCEPT (route and schedule optimisation, field service management, GIS and geomarketing), DANEM (mobile business applications for sales representatives, delivery drivers and technicians) and B&B Market (CRM SFA, consulting and data for the consumer goods and retail industries).

 

Operating in a market that is growing by 15% per year and is expected to exceed 30 billion euros by 2026, Nomadia responds to the growing need of companies to manage the activities of their professionals in the field in real time. These professionals, who spend an average of 30% of their working time on the road, share the need to optimise the management of their interventions to gain operational efficiency and improve customer satisfaction. This need has increased since the beginning of the pandemic, with a hybrid work organisation and, above all, new requirements for connectivity to access data everywhere and at all times.

 

Operational gains and a CSR asset

 

Through advanced optimisation algorithms, mobile business applications, sales cycle automation capabilities, and data and consulting offerings, Nomadia’s solutions help companies address their key operational performance and profitability challenges with a promise of 20% productivity gains.

 

In addition, Nomadia’s solutions address the increasing attention companies are paying to their environmental footprint (with a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 30% for users of route optimisation solutions) and employee well-being (scheduling optimisation tools that take into account employee constraints in the distribution of missions).

 

The Nomadia group’s 1,500 customers have already been able to take advantage of all these benefits, whether in logistics with Colis Privé or Cdiscount, in energy with Engie, GRDF, Dalkia or Suez, in healthcare with Johnson&Johnson or Pfizer, in industry with Otis or Veolia, and in all other sectors with mobile professionals, from small and medium-sized businesses to large corporations.

 

Growth ambitions in France and internationally

 

By establishing itself as a new French champion of mobility with a rich catalog of complementary solutions for mobile professionals, Nomadia enjoys a unique positioning, industry recognition (in 2021 hailed for the 4th time in a row by Gartner in its FSM Magic Quadrant) and a first-rate customer portfolio that will enable it to win new market share in France and accelerate its growth at an international scale, particularly in Europe and the United States.

 

Reunited since the beginning of the summer, the three companies have already initiated the first steps of their integration in order to rapidly leverage their commercial and technological synergies. In September 2021, the brands of the three combined players will change. They will be complemented by the words “by Nomadia” to gradually become a single commercial brand: Nomadia.

 

“The creation of a new leader is excellent news and a strength for our customers. We are now offering them a common and enhanced platform to benefit from leading solutions for the management of their critical missions in the field. This combination of three technological gems is also a vector for the dissemination of French know-how as well as an innovation gas pedal, leading to an offer capable of competing with solutions that until now have only been offered by major international publishers. With Nomadia, mobility becomes an asset and no longer a constraint.”

Fabien Bréget, CEO and founder of Nomadia

 

Nomadia has 170 employees, more than a third of whom are dedicated to research and development. The group is clearly committed to innovation, with many projects coming, particularly in the fields of electro-mobility, IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, augmented reality and Industry 4.0 (augmented technician).
