What Pertimm does

Pertimm is a Paris-based (Asnières-sur-Seine) AI research-and-development firm and full-service digital agency founded in the late 1990s by Patrick Constant (PhD), operating for 26+ years under FrenchTech certification. The firm specializes in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, large language models, machine learning, and semantic search, and is structured as a customized B2B solutions provider rather than a self-service SaaS vendor. It targets enterprise clients across six disclosed verticals: industrials, fashion, telecommunications, retail, energy, and healthcare, with EDF (the French energy major) cited as a flagship customer.

The firm's core technology stack rests on proprietary AI algorithms and semantic search engines developed in-house over more than two decades, applied across multi-modal data — text, image, and structured records. Its current capability surface spans NLP, generative AI / LLM implementation, knowledge retrieval, computer vision, predictive analytics, recommendation systems, autonomous agents, and process automation. Pertimm coordinates the OPEVA consortium (35 partners, Horizon Europe-funded electric-vehicle optimization) and participates in the Theradia healthcare cognitive-remediation project, positioning itself as an applied-AI R&D partner within EU innovation programs.

The business model combines customized B2B SaaS development with project-based AI consulting, delivered by a core team of 11-50 employees supported by an extended network of 120+ engineers — a structure typical of boutique AI agencies. Revenue is generated through bespoke client engagements rather than productized subscriptions, and the firm cites approximately 20 global clients and partners. Non-dilutive European institutional funding (notably an EISMEA grant of approximately $1.1M in 2017) has historically supplemented commercial revenue, with ongoing EU consortium participation as the principal growth mechanism in recent years.

Engagements follow a lifecycle from audit through design, co-created development, and evolutionary maintenance, delivered through a network of 120+ in-house software engineers.

Product overview

Pertimm operates as a full-service digital agency offering customized B2B SaaS solutions.

These services are co-created with clients and delivered as customized SaaS solutions tailored to specific industry needs across industrials, fashion, telecommunications, retail, and energy sectors. The company emphasizes human-guided AI, UX/UI design finesse, and full lifecycle support from development through evolutionary maintenance.
