WaryMe

What WaryMe does

WaryMe is a French private SaaS company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Cesson-Sévigné, Brittany. It sells a mobile-first platform that combines three functions in a single application: PTI-DATI lone-worker protection, digital crisis management plans (PPMS, POI, PCS, PSE), and mass notification. The core technology is a proprietary, patented IP-based alert transmission protocol that routes distress alerts simultaneously to multiple receivers in real time, capturing ambient audio from the first second and geolocating workers via GPS/GNSS outdoors and Bluetooth beacons indoors. The platform supports seven alert trigger modes (three voluntary, four automatic, including immobilization and loss-of-verticality detection) and integrates with a hardware ecosystem comprising an SOS bracelet, a connected safety shoe co-developed with Parade, a connected watch, a rugged IP68 DATI Android device, and a SIM-equipped connected insole.

WaryMe monetizes through per-user annual SaaS subscriptions, with optional hardware accessory sales, professional services for deployment and training, and managed services delivered through certified third-party monitoring centers. The company serves French social housing providers, territorial collectivities, SEVESO-classified industrial sites, healthcare institutions, and educational establishments, with marquee customers including Accor, L'Oréal, Bouygues Construction, Colas, Norauto, CEA, OVH Cloud, Exotec, RTM, INSEE, and CHU de Nantes. It also distributes the app through Google Play and the Apple App Store for mass-notification use by the general public.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales motion with a three-person account-management team supported by an SDR, complemented by inbound demo requests, public-procurement responses, and event-driven demand generation through trade shows such as Eurosatory and Préventica. As of 2025, WaryMe reports 300–450+ enterprise customers, ~30,000 protected professionals, and 550,000+ general-public users, supported by ~22 employees, GICAT and La French Tech memberships, and a Gold Medal at the Trophées de la Sécurité 2023.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Software Licenses (PTI-DATI Application): WaryMe is commercialized as a cloud SaaS service. Customers pay annual license fees per user for access to the PTI-DATI mobile application, crisis management plans, and mass notification modules. The model follows per-seat subscription pricing with annual billing. The cost is described as 'faible' (low) compared to hardware alternatives which require upfront capital purchase.
2. Optional Hardware Accessories: Optional connected hardware is available as an add-on to the core SaaS platform: SOS bracelet, connected safety shoes (Parade), connected watch, and DATI Android ruggedized device. These are sold alongside the software license.
3. Professional Services (Deployment & Support): Implementation, configuration, training, and ongoing support services are provided by WaryMe's project and support team. Deployment includes software setup, safety rule configuration, hardware pairing, and operational validation.
4. Delegated Alert Management (Monitoring/Telesurveillance): Customers can delegate alert reception to a certified monitoring center (centre de télésurveillance), with 24/7 coverage. This adds a managed services layer on top of the SaaS platform.

Core offering

WaryMe sells a mobile-first SaaS platform (Android and iOS) that combines three functions in a single application: PTI-DATI lone-worker protection (voluntary and automatic distress alerts with indoor/outdoor geolocation), digital crisis management plans (PPMS, POI, PCS, PSE), and mass notification. It is offered as per-user annual cloud subscriptions, with an optional ecosystem of connected hardware accessories (SOS Bluetooth bracelet, connected watch, connected safety shoe co-developed with Parade, connected insole, rugged Android DATI device) and deployment/support services. Alerts are transmitted via WaryMe's proprietary patented IP-based protocol, which routes notifications to multiple receivers simultaneously in real time without the call-establishment delay of traditional GSM/SMS cascade calling.

Products and services

• WaryMe PTI-DATI Mobile Application (3-in-1 safety app) Next-generation smartphone-based PTI-DATI mobile application (Android and iOS) for lone-worker protection of isolated staff: voluntary and automatic distress alerts, real-time indoor/outdoor geolocation, ambient audio capture, collaborative alert reception and automated incident logs. Targeted at enterprises and public-sector organisations across social housing, industry, local authorities, healthcare, education and maintenance.
• Crisis Management Plans (PPMS – POI – PCS – PSE) Mobile module that digitalises and operationalises French regulatory crisis plans: PPMS (school safety), POI (industrial internal operation plan, including SEVESO), PCS (communal safeguard plan) and PSE (healthcare facility security plan). Enables collaboration, mobilisation chains and automated incident logging during crises on the same mobile app as the PTI-DATI.
• Mass Notification (Communication de masse) Multi-channel mass notification solution that reliably broadcasts emergency and operational information to large populations via the WaryMe mobile app, combining the IP-based protocol with multi-receiver distribution. Used by municipalities to alert citizens (e.g., Envirorisk workshop demos) and by enterprises to alert staff in real time.
• DATI Android Ruggedised Device IP68-rated rugged Android device acting as a dedicated mini-smartphone for lone-worker protection, embedding all of the WaryMe app's PTI-DATI features for workers in harsh environments without network coverage or who cannot use a personal phone.
• WaryMe SOS Bracelet (Bluetooth) Bluetooth SOS bracelet providing discreet alerting without exposing the user's smartphone, and wrist-based immobilisation detection. Pairs with the WaryMe PTI-DATI mobile app for alert routing and location.
• WaryMe Connected PTI Watch Connected watch running the WaryMe app for always-worn lone-worker protection with fall detection, immobilisation detection and voluntary alert triggering directly from the wrist.
• Connected Safety Shoe (PTI, with Parade) Safety shoe co-developed with Parade (market-leading safety footwear maker) integrating a removable electronic module under the heel with accelerometer and presence sensor to detect falls and immobilisation via a patented algorithm. The data is relayed via Bluetooth to the WaryMe smartphone app for real-time geolocation and ambient audio capture.
• Connected PTI Insole (Semelle connectée 3G/4G) Connected insole embedding a 3G/4G SIM card that automatically transmits geolocated alerts in case of loss of verticality, functioning independently of the worker's smartphone. Designed as an add-on option for situations where carrying a phone is not feasible.

Quantifiable outcome

• Saves time during crisis management by allowing local operators to focus on operational tasks while remote crisis cells handle communications and coordination — the first minutes are decisive.
