What Hopia does

Hopia (legal entity PLANINNOVIA SAS), founded in 2020 in Gif-sur-Yvette, France, develops a SaaS platform that automates the scheduling of physicians and paramedical staff for hospitals, clinics, and care homes. The product targets the chronic administrative burden of generating compliant, equitable shift plans in healthcare establishments subject to overlapping regulatory, collective-agreement, and individual constraints, and is deployed across 70+ establishments with 7,000+ professionals scheduled daily.

The platform is built on a proprietary symbolic AI engine developed in-house since 2020, distinct from generic machine-learning scheduling tools. The engine orchestrates hundreds of constraints in parallel (legal, collective, individual, site-level) and produces auditable, equitable plans. It is delivered as a web application with a native mobile companion on iOS and Android, and is integrated natively with 50+ hospital information systems (SIH, SIRH, GTT, GTA, RIS, BI, SSO), supporting multi-site deployments and GHT (Groupements Hospitaliers de Territoire) structures. The solution is positioned as a 100% French, sovereign-stack product for the healthcare sector.

Commercially, Hopia operates an enterprise SaaS model with custom quote-based pricing and a direct field-sales motion targeting public hospitals (CH, CHU, GHT), private clinic groups, ESPIC, and EHPADs. Geographic coverage includes metropolitan France, DOM-TOM, and Switzerland. The company closed a €3.6M Series A in January 2025 co-led by IRIS and Kurma Partners, following incubation at AGORANOV in 2022, and operates with 11–50 employees.

Direct peers

• Visual Planning: Resource scheduling and planning software used across healthcare, manufacturing and public sector. Comparable to Hopia on multi-resource scheduling workflows, though generally positioned as a configurable planning tool rather than a healthcare-specific AI scheduling engine.
• eTemptation (Bosch): Workforce management and time management solution with installations in French hospitals. Comparable to Hopia on scheduling and time tracking for healthcare, though its offering is more generic and less focused on the AI-driven multi-constraint optimization Hopia sells.
• Horoquartz: Long-established French workforce management vendor with a strong healthcare footprint (now part of Sopra Steria). Compares directly to Hopia on hospital time-and-attendance and scheduling, though historically more on time-tracking than constraint-rule optimization.
• Skello: French SaaS workforce management platform for shift planning, time tracking and HR analytics. Comparable to Hopia on cloud scheduling for shift-heavy workforces, but oriented to hospitality and retail rather than highly regulated healthcare scheduling.
• Kelio (Bodet Group): French WFM SaaS vendor serving mid-market and enterprise shift-based businesses, including healthcare establishments. Comparable to Hopia on automated scheduling and shift management, with broader sector reach but less deep healthcare-specific rule modelling.

Broad incumbents

• UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group): Global leader in workforce management with deep enterprise healthcare deployments in the US and growing European presence. Comparable to Hopia on large-scale workforce scheduling, though its solution is more general and lacks Hopia's French regulatory and clinical specialization.
• Dedalus: One of the largest European healthcare IT vendors, owning significant SIH and clinical software footprints in French hospitals. Comparable to Hopia as a healthcare-IT incumbent whose future roadmap could include native scheduling, representing the main bundling threat.
• Maincare (Docaposte): Major French hospital information system vendor, now part of La Poste group's Docaposte. Comparable to Hopia as the incumbent HIS provider with existing relationships across French hospitals and the ability to bundle scheduling into its existing portfolio.
• Cegedim: French healthcare software and data group offering HR, scheduling and practice management solutions. Comparable to Hopia as a broad healthcare IT incumbent with established relationships to French healthcare providers and existing workforce-related modules.

Emerging players

• Hublo: French healthcare staffing platform connecting facilities with interim and locum professionals. Comparable to Hopia as a healthcare workforce technology company in France, though focused on interim staffing supply rather than automated schedule optimization.
