What Sensing Vision does
Sensing Vision is a French private company (SAS, registered in Rennes, founded 2017) that provides IoT and AI-driven solutions for energy efficiency, smart buildings, and connected territories, primarily to local public-sector buyers and private enterprises in France. Its product portfolio centers on the Energy Suite AI platform and a set of verticalized monitoring modules — Building Monitor, Cold Monitor, Water Monitor, Parking Monitor, Environment Monitor, and Waste Monitor — unified through an IoT Hypervisor. The platform ingests data from IoT sensors, electricity/gas/water meters, and weather feeds, applies machine learning to identify consumption patterns, detect anomalies, and recommend savings of 20-40% in tertiary buildings without construction work.
The company also operates as a network infrastructure integrator, deploying Cisco Meraki WiFi (with a 3-year bundled managed service), Kerlink LoRaWAN networks, IP networks, Verkada cloud-managed physical security, and Cisco Umbrella cybersecurity. Its business model combines recurring SaaS subscriptions (including six solutions listed on the UGAP public procurement catalog), professional services for deployment, hardware resale, and multi-year managed services. Go-to-market is sales-led, leveraging direct field sales, the UGAP catalog, regional energy syndicate partnerships (SDEF, SIEL-TE, Sartel, Vendée Numérique), and Cisco Meraki's marketplace. The headcount of approximately 22 employees, the absence of disclosed external funding, and the €50,000 registered capital indicate a bootstrapped, founder-led organization (Benoit Vagneur, Président) with a regional French footprint and selective international reach through partner ecosystems.

- Engie Solutions: Subsidiary of Engie providing energy services, smart city lighting (Citelum), and digital building solutions to French municipalities — broad overlap with Sensing Vision's energy efficiency, public WiFi, and smart territory portfolio, but as part of a much wider service offering.
- Schneider Electric: Global building automation and energy management incumbent (EcoStruxure platform) serving commercial and public buildings — overlaps with Sensing Vision's Energy Suite/Building Monitor on energy efficiency and BACS compliance, but at much larger scale and scope.
- SUEZ Smart Solutions: Water and waste services major with IoT-enabled smart metering and environmental monitoring — directly competes with Sensing Vision's Water Monitor and Waste Monitor modules for French municipal water and waste contracts, though within a much broader portfolio.
- Bouygues Energies & Services: Bouygues subsidiary providing network infrastructure, smart city, and energy services across France — directly comparable on the LoRaWAN deployment, IP network, and smart territory infrastructure lines Sensing Vision delivers, including co-bidding on departmental-scale tenders.
Regional players
