What Foederis does

Foederis, operating under the legal entity Septeo HR Solutions, is a French SaaS publisher of integrated talent management and HR information system (SIRH) software, headquartered in Dardilly near Lyon. Founded in 1998, the company has built a modular platform anchored by a Core RH data model that feeds 12+ specialized modules spanning the full HR lifecycle — recruitment, onboarding, leave and absence management, training (including a training center module), annual and professional interviews, skills and competency management (GPEC/GEPP), remuneration, expense reporting, the French-mandated BDESE database, and administrative management. The offering is delivered exclusively as cloud-hosted SaaS, structured into three product tiers: MyFoederis (core HR portal for employees and HR teams), Offre Manager (manager dashboards), and Offre Partner (customizable configurations for organizations with non-standard processes).

The company monetizes through recurring SaaS subscriptions with a modular, land-and-expand pricing dynamic, supplemented by implementation and consulting services required to onboard complex enterprise HR processes. Go-to-market is consultative and direct, combining enterprise field sales, inside sales, and event-driven demand generation anchored by Salon Solutions RH in Paris, supported by a content marketing engine (HR blog, webinars, white papers, LinkedIn, YouTube). Foederis serves a hybrid segment mix ranging from very small enterprises (TPE) up to large multinationals, with verticalized offerings for banking and insurance, retail, industry, pharmacy, public sector, hospitals, mutual insurance, and services. Operations span France (HQ in Dardilly, office in Lattes) with multilingual sites for Switzerland (foederis.ch) and English-speaking markets (foederis.com).

Since joining the Septeo Group in 2023, Foederis has operated as a subsidiary within a larger diversified software publisher, gaining access to capital, cross-sell, and shared infrastructure while retaining its brand and product. The company has approximately 101–250 employees and references enterprise customers including Caterpillar, Adecco, Fnac Darty, Assystem, ECA Group, Meeschaert, and In Extenso across staffing, retail, engineering, aerospace, financial services, and accounting verticals. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, consistent with enterprise B2B SaaS norms in the French HR software market.
