What inVirtus Technologies does

inVirtus Technologies SAS is a privately held French IoT company founded in February 2018 in Nantes that designs, manufactures, and distributes an end-to-end portfolio of proprietary equipment-geolocation hardware and a cloud platform. The company serves industrial customers across ten verticals — aerospace, defense, naval, logistics, automotive, healthcare, construction (BTP), public administrations, agriculture, and luxury goods — with named deployments at Airbus, Chantiers Navals de l'Atlantique, and Multitech Expertises. Its product portfolio spans three lines: outdoor GPS trackers (ivTrack Lite, Evo, Nano) with multi-connectivity (GPS, LoRa, BLE, 4G LTE-M, NB-IoT, 2G) and 5–10 year battery life; indoor BLE tags and anchors (ivBeacon EosFlex / Display / Lite / Micro and ivScan Athena / Chronos / Poseidon), notably including a photovoltaic battery-free tag family (EosFlex); and the inVirtus Cloud SaaS platform for real-time and historical tracking, alerting, and ERP/WMS integration via API.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) hardware sales of trackers, tags, and anchors manufactured in France; (2) recurring SaaS subscriptions to the inVirtus Cloud platform; and (3) professional services from an in-house IoT engineering bureau covering electronics, embedded software, mechanical design, and industrialization. The company employs 1–10 people, sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales with a "Request a Demo" / "Free Study" / Starter Kit conversion funnel, and supplements this with a distribution agreement with ARPCI (Groupe AiRiCOM) for France/Europe and an e-commerce storefront for smaller orders. Customers typically engage on multi-year contracts, and the company has accumulated roughly $2.47M in disclosed equity funding across rounds in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022, plus a European Union FEDER and Pays de la Loire Region grant running January 2024 to September 2026 for autonomous geolocation R&D. Certifications include IATA air transport (ivTrack Evo), IP67/IP68, and GDPR-compliant EU-hosted data.
