What Aiga does

Aiga (legal entity AIGA S.A.S.) is a French software publisher founded in 1980 and headquartered in Lyon, focused exclusively on management software for early-childhood facilities, animation/leisure centres, school services, and non-profit associations. Its product portfolio centres on iNoé, a web-based SaaS platform with modules for petite enfance (crèches, multi-accueils, Relais Petite Enfance), animation (ALSH, centres sociaux, MJC), schooling services, attendance pointage (MOBi/WEBi), and a 24/7 family portal (Espace Famille); and Cloé, a payroll and accounting suite for associations supporting DSN declarations and the ALISFA/ECLAT collective agreements, with the new Cloé Démat electronic-invoicing module added in June 2026. The legacy Noé desktop line is being phased out in favour of iNoé.

The company is structurally independent — a société par actions simplifiée with €643,796 of capital, no parent company, no venture or private-equity ownership disclosed, and no subsidiaries. It operates through four regional agencies (Lyon HQ, Paris-Nord at Fontenay-sous-Bois, Grand Ouest at Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, and Toulouse) plus approved local partners for the French overseas territories (Antilles, Guyane, Réunion), serving more than 6,000 clients. Revenue is generated through a mix of perpetual software licences (multi-year), monthly SaaS subscriptions hosted on Claranet infrastructure, a Qualiopi-certified training catalogue, technical-support contracts, an in-house payroll-out外包 service (~400 payslips/client/month), implementation consulting, and usage-based SMS credits.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Apologic: French software publisher specializing in early childhood and childcare facility management software. Apologic serves crèches, multi-accueils, and similar structures across France, directly competing with Aiga's iNoé Petite Enfance offering for the same customer vertical.
• Eudonet: French CRM and association management software vendor serving nonprofit organizations, social centers, and MJC-type structures. Eudonet directly competes with Aiga's Cloé and iNoé modules in the French association segment with comparable subscription-based delivery.
• Decalog: French association management software provider serving nonprofits, foundations, and sociocultural organizations with accounting, membership, and donor management tools. Decalog overlaps with Aiga's Cloé Paie & Comptabilité offering for association customers.

Broad incumbents

• Silae: Leading French cloud payroll and HR SaaS provider serving SMEs, associations, and mid-market employers. Silae overlaps with Aiga's Cloé Paie and payroll outsourcing service but operates at much broader scale across all employer types, not specialized in social-sector collective agreements.
• Cegid: Major French software vendor offering payroll, accounting, ERP, and HR solutions for SMBs and mid-market. Cegid's broader portfolio competes with Cloé for association accounting/payroll but lacks Aiga's domain specialization in early-childhood facility operations.
• Sage France: Global accounting and payroll software vendor with significant French presence serving SMBs and associations. Sage's breadth positions it as a generalist alternative to Aiga's specialized Cloé offering, particularly for customers seeking one-vendor financial suites.
• ADP France: Global payroll and HR services giant operating in France with enterprise-grade payroll outsourcing. ADP's scale in payroll outsourcing (analogous to Aiga's externalisation des paies) represents a broad-incumbent threat, particularly for larger associations seeking a single global vendor.

Others

• Bodet Software: French time-and-attendance and workforce management software vendor. Bodet is adjacent rather than directly competing: Aiga's iNoé MOBi and WEBi touchscreen attendance applications target similar childcare/school use cases but Bodet focuses on general enterprise and education customers.
