What Otodo does

Otodo SAS is a French deep-tech company founded in 2016 by Eric Denoyer and Eric Souchaud, headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux with an R&D facility ("The LAB") in Saint-Pierre-des-Corps near Tours. The company builds a universal white-label smart home and energy management platform that aggregates Matter, Zigbee, Z-Wave and other IoT protocols into a multi-protocol hub (Hub-MZ, advanced and Matter-certified; Hub-ZT, cost-optimized), a customizable mobile application (SDK or fully branded UX/UI), and a supervision portal for telecom operators. A proprietary NLP voice command module complements Alexa and Google Nest integration, and an AI-based energy coaching function analyses user habits and weather forecasts to optimize heating settings.

The company's go-to-market is predominantly B2B white-label licensing, embedding its software agent into telecom IP gateways (WRT, RDK versions) or distributing it as a cloud-managed hub sold to operators and service providers; a 20% strategic stake held by Sagemcom since April 2018 extends reach to operators in more than 40 countries and underpinned Sagemcom's first Matter certification in May 2023. Named customers/partners include Sagemcom, Orange, CANAL+ Telecom (CANALBOX in French overseas territories), Chacon (DIO Home+), Groupe Renault (car-to-home, CES 2020), and Nagra. Consumer reach is delivered through VAV Connect, a smart-thermostat service funded by French CEE energy efficiency subsidies that provides free installation to qualifying electric-heating households, with reported savings of up to 25% on heating bills.

In 2025, Otodo merged with 5team, adding enterprise software products (5Flow workflow management, Predi5 ML/NLP predictive analytics, Plani5 workforce scheduling) to broaden the addressable buyer base beyond telecom smart-home. Overall, the business combines platform licensing, hardware sales (via Amazon and partners), subsidized consumer services, and — post-merger — recurring enterprise software subscriptions across European and select international markets.
