What Altior does

Altior is a French software-as-a-service company that provides a cloud-based industrial enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform tailored to small and very small industrial enterprises (TPE/PME) in France. The product consolidates production management (GPAO including work orders, MRP/CBN, Kanban/Gantt planning), purchasing, sales, inventory, cost estimation, job/project costing and financial management into a single subscription-based system, with vertical modules for machining workshops, boilermaking/sheet metal, plastic injection molding, special-purpose machine builders, electrical-electronic component manufacturers and interior fitting trades. The platform is built on a microservices architecture using Scala, Akka, Kafka and CQRS/Event Sourcing patterns and is hosted exclusively in France, which supports data residency and regulatory positioning for French SMBs.

Revenue is generated primarily through per-user monthly SaaS subscriptions, priced at €90/user/month on annual billing or €99/user/month on monthly billing, with optional applications billed at the same per-user rate. Distribution combines a regional direct-sales model across French departments with a self-serve demo request funnel on the website, a marketplace of complementary software partners (Pennylane, Sellsy, FYGR, QUIETIC, TIMCOD) and a client referral program. The company claims deployment in 4-6 weeks versus 6-12 months for traditional ERPs and serves several hundred industrial customers. Recent product investments include ALIA, an in-ERP generative AI assistant for industrial costing and planning, and a native Factur-X/PDP e-invoicing integration with Pennylane to address the 2026-2027 French electronic invoicing mandate. Altior operates as a Société par Actions Simplifiée (SAS) headquartered in Nantes, with reported share capital of €96,633, between 11 and 50 employees, and a single disclosed funding round of approximately €1.37 million raised in September 2023.
