What SmartCIC does

SmartCIC, operating as SmartCIC Global Services SARL and headquartered in Cannes, France, is a privately held B2B managed connectivity and field services provider founded in 2008. The company targets Tier-1 international carriers, Fortune 500 enterprises, and FTSE 100 companies, enabling its partners to monetize enterprise networking opportunities locally across 200+ countries and territories. Its claimed delivery infrastructure includes 25,000+ certified network engineers speaking 22 languages, 1,500+ carrier partners, and offices in France, Spain (Barcelona, Madrid), and the United States (Coral Gables).

The company's core offering is its 'Through-the-Line' connectivity platform, which unifies international wholesale services, local networking, access technologies, shipping and logistics, and onsite field services into a single end-to-end model spanning line, cabling, hardware, installation, migration, and support. Product portfolio comprises four core service lines — Global Connectivity, Field Services, Fixed Wireless Access, and Managed Services — augmented by the Site Visit Reporting (SVR) mobile application launched in April 2024, which provides real-time work order, GPS verification, and proof-of-delivery flows from field engineers to global support centers. The company operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, SmartCIC Technologies, focused on AI and cellular intelligence, though specifics of that subsidiary's capabilities are not disclosed.

Revenue is generated primarily through managed connectivity services sold via a quote-based enterprise sales motion, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is driven through direct expert consultation, B2B partnerships with carriers and service providers, and content marketing via a resource center. Customer engagement tends to be high-touch and enterprise-anchored. Governance is provided by CEO and Co-Founder Toby Forman and a board expanded in May 2024 with three Non-Executive Directors (Carl Roberts, Glenda Brady, Michael Schwieter) bringing expertise in international carrier, ESG, and finance domains respectively. The company's compliance posture includes GDPR and CCPA, and it operates an Anti-Slavery & Diversity Policy framework.
