What Nanolike does

Nanolike is a French IoT company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Toulouse, with a North American entity in Montreal. The company builds non-intrusive sensor systems for supply-chain logistics across three industry-specific product lines: BinConnect (feed silos), SiloConnect (cement silos, the patent-protected flagship), and TankConnect (Intermediate Bulk Containers used in chemical, agro-food, and cosmetics industries). The technology combines proprietary deformation-measurement sensors with AI-driven algorithms to translate physical changes (e.g., silo weight/level) into real-time inventory data, eliminating the need for on-site wiring, climbing, electricity, or internet connectivity at the measurement point. A mobile app and web platform deliver 24/7 visibility, automated alerts, multi-account access, and inventory forecasts up to four days ahead.

The commercial model bundles IoT hardware with subscription-based software and ongoing customer success services. Nanolike operates a direct enterprise field-sales motion complemented by a distributor network reaching 22+ countries across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia; pricing is quote-based with annual billing. The company serves three primary verticals—feed manufacturers and agricultural cooperatives (Axereal, Cooperl, Cargill, Molesworth, Deal Rite Feeds, B-W Feed, Meuneries Mondou), cement producers (Holcim across 7 countries, with 700 silos currently being deployed at Holcim France alone), and chemical/IBC users (Gaches Chimie, Kersia). Documented outcomes include 35% reduction in unnecessary kilometers (Meuneries Mondou), 75% reduction in last-minute deliveries (B-W Feed), 51% reduction in on-site waiting time (Holcim Mexico), and 12% truck productivity gain (Holcim Spain).

Nanolike is privately held and led by co-founder and President Jean-Jacques Bois and co-founder and CTO Samuel Behar, supported by sales manager Julien Fauchet. Disclosed historical venture funding totals under USD 1 million across 2014–2017 rounds (BREEGA, Newfund, INSEAD BA Alumni France, EISMEA grants, IOT Valley); no subsequent funding rounds are documented in the available material. The company received the 2024 AQINAC 'Prix initiative responsable' for its BinConnect deployment at Meuneries Mondou.

Core offering

Nanolike designs, manufactures, and sells IoT sensor solutions for real-time inventory monitoring of feed silos (BinConnect), cement silos (SiloConnect), and Intermediate Bulk Containers (TankConnect). Its patented non-intrusive deformation-measurement sensors attach to the base of silos or containers and transmit fill-level data wirelessly, paired with AI-driven analytics, a mobile app, and a web platform that deliver automated alerts, inventory forecasts, and replenishment triggers. The offerings are bundled as hardware-plus-subscription enterprise solutions deployed across the chemical, agri-food, cement, and animal nutrition sectors.

Product overview

Nanolike offers a portfolio of three IoT solutions for supply chain logistics optimization: BinConnect for feed silos, SiloConnect for cement silos, and TankConnect for Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC). Each solution uses non-intrusive sensors with patented deformation measurement technology combined with AI-powered analytics to provide real-time inventory monitoring, automated alerts, and predictive forecasting. The offerings include a mobile app and web platform that enable remote inventory management, automated replenishment workflows, and multi-stakeholder coordination between suppliers, logistics teams, and end customers.

Direct peers

• Tive: Supply chain visibility company offering IoT sensors and a cloud platform for in-transit and in-storage asset monitoring. Closely comparable to Nanolike in the hardware-plus-subscription IoT tracking model, though Tive focuses on location/temperature in logistics while Nanolike focuses on deformation-based fill/level.
• BinMaster: Manufacturer of level sensors and inventory management systems for bins, silos, and tanks across agriculture, cement, and process industries. Directly comparable to Nanolike's BinConnect and SiloConnect in target use case (silo/bin level monitoring), differing in technology approach (traditional wired sensors vs. Nanolike's non-intrusive deformation measurement).

Broad incumbents

• Samsara: Large-scale IoT platform for fleet and asset operations with sensors, software, and a broad enterprise GTM. Comparable in business model (sensor + SaaS for industrial operations) and enterprise sales motion, but serves a much wider scope (vehicles, equipment, facilities) rather than bulk-container fill/level.
• Sensitech (Carrier): Cold chain visibility provider offering temperature and condition monitoring sensors plus analytics for pharma, food, and industrial supply chains. Comparable in IoT-monitoring-as-a-service model and in serving bulk/industrial supply chain customers, though Sensitech focuses on temperature-driven cold chain rather than fill/level.
• Uptake: Industrial AI and asset performance platform serving heavy industry with predictive analytics. Comparable in the AI/predictive layer over industrial sensor data, but platform-software oriented (no proprietary hardware) and serves broader heavy-asset customers.

Emerging players

• Berlinger: Swiss provider of temperature monitoring and cold chain compliance solutions (including vaccine/biopharma GxP use cases). Comparable in IoT monitoring sensors and analytics for regulated industrial/pharma supply chains; smaller in scope and focused on a different physical variable than Nanolike.
• Hiber (previously HiberBanda): IoT connectivity and sensor solutions provider for remote industrial assets using satellite/cellular connectivity. Comparable in delivering non-wired IoT for remote industrial sites, though Hiber is connectivity/infrastructure-layer while Nanolike is application-layer for fill/level.
• Cognosos: IoT asset tracking and location platform using lightweight wireless sensors for industrial and logistics customers. Comparable in the wireless, non-intrusive, low-power IoT sensor approach and enterprise logistics customer base, but focused on location rather than fill/level measurement.

Others

• FourKites: Supply chain visibility platform focused on shipment-level tracking, ETA prediction, and yard management. Comparable customer overlap (large industrial enterprises, including in chemicals and food) and platform/analytics orientation, but software-only and shipment-centric rather than sensor-based inventory monitoring.

Regional players

• Kerridge Commercial Systems: ERP/distribution software provider for building materials and industrial supply chains including bulk inventory. Comparable in addressing inventory and replenishment workflows for cement/building-materials customers, but as back-office software rather than IoT hardware + sensor stack.
