Revenue model

1. SaaS Platform Subscription (UNIFIELD®): CAD.42 generates recurring subscription revenue through its UNIFIELD® SaaS platform, which serves as the central hub for all field data, alerts, and operational dashboards. Subscriptions are scoped by project, number of connected equipment, and usage depth.
2. Connected Device & IoT Solutions: Revenue from proprietary connected sensors, anti-collision devices (KYD.42, RTK.42), and IoT hardware deployed on construction sites and industrial facilities, sold alongside the SaaS platform.
3. Professional Services & Deployment: Deployment, installation, team training, performance follow-up, and ongoing expert support services accompany product sales, creating a services revenue stream tied to implementation.
4. Safety-as-a-Service / Outcome-Based: The FAQ notes that pricing depends on scope, number of uses, equipment level, platform needs, and deployment context, suggesting outcome-linked or usage-based pricing components for certain deployments.

Core offering

CAD.42 sells a SaaS field-operations platform called UNIFIELD® that centralizes real-time data from connected IoT sensors, AI modules, and field equipment for construction, industrial, and energy sites. The offering bundles the UNIFIELD® software hub with three AI solutions (IA Prévention for safety and anti-collision, IA Environnement for environmental monitoring, IA Production for equipment performance) and proprietary connected hardware (KYD.42, RTK.42 anti-collision devices), deployed as subscription-based projects scoped by site complexity and module usage.

Product overview

CAD.42 is a software-first field operations platform for construction, industry, energy, and large infrastructure projects. The product portfolio centers on UNIFIELD®, a SaaS platform that centralizes field data, connected AI solutions (IA Prévention, IA Environnement, IA Production), and specialized anticollision systems (KYD.42/RTK.42). The architecture follows a platform-plus-modules model: UNIFIELD® serves as the unified data hub, while IA Prévention provides three-tier safety AI (Coach, Assistant, Detector), IA Environnement monitors environmental parameters, and IA Production optimizes equipment and execution performance. All solutions integrate with BIM, ERP, planning tools, IoT environments, and BI dashboards via API connections.

Products and services

• UNIFIELD® Platform Central SaaS platform that collects, visualizes, and analyzes real-time field operations data from connected IoT sensors, AI modules, and equipment. UNIFIELD® unifies safety, prevention, environmental, and production data in a single environment, providing real-time visibility, intelligent alerts, and decision-support dashboards for construction, industrial, energy, and large-infrastructure operators.
• IA Prévention AI-powered safety prevention solution with three tiers — Coach (safety-awareness coaching for site managers and foremen), Assistant (detection of recurring daily risk situations such as incomplete PPE or insufficient site demarcation), and Detector (real-time alerts for high-potential critical events including vehicle-pedestrian anti-collision via KYD.42 and RTK.42). Targeted at construction, industrial, and energy sites with high coactivity.
• IA Environnement Environmental AI solution for real-time monitoring of critical environmental parameters — wind, water consumption, energy, noise, and air quality — using connected sensors, with anomaly detection and predictive analysis to anticipate environmental drift and trigger immediate alerts when thresholds are exceeded. Targeted at construction sites, industrial facilities, and sensitive zones.
• IA Production AI-powered production analytics solution that transforms field activity data into operational performance indicators. Tracks equipment utilization rates, machine cycle times, idle periods, and execution bottlenecks to help teams improve real-world productivity on construction sites and industrial facilities.
• Anticollision KYD.42 / RTK.42 Proprietary connected hardware for real-time collision detection between vehicles and pedestrians on construction and industrial sites. Integrated as part of the IA Prévention Detector module, triggering immediate sound and visual alerts when dangerous proximity is detected, using RTK positioning technology.
