What Althea does

Althéa is a France-based independent management and IT consulting firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux. The firm specializes in the digital transformation of corporate support functions across four practice areas: Human Resources (HRIS selection, payroll, talent management, time management), Corporate Finance (finance modernization, e-invoicing/CSRD compliance, travel & expense), Procurement (S2C/P2P/SRM process optimization), and Supply Chain/Operations (WMS, TMS, ERP, MES implementation). It operates as a horizontal player serving large French enterprises and international subsidiaries across banking, aerospace, healthcare, media, retail, postal services, construction, and household appliances — with named clients including BNP Paribas, SAFRAN, DHL, Canal+, SEB Group, and the French postal services leader.

The firm delivers services through its proprietary "Process Box Althéa" methodology, which packages benchmarked best practices into a reusable process optimization framework, combined with deep implementation expertise across major enterprise software platforms (SAP, Oracle, CEGID, INFOR, SAGE, Microsoft, IFS, GPAO, MES, GMAO, WMS, TMS, APS). Its offerings span the full transformation lifecycle from strategic roadmap (schema directeur) and solution selection (aide au choix) through project assistance (AMOA/PMO) to change management and operational deployment. Althéa also operates an internal "Innovation – AI & Data" practice advising clients on AI roadmap development and use case identification within support functions, alongside specialized products such as CORE RH (talent management) and the internally developed STADIUM scheduling solution built for Canal+.

Althéa generates revenue through professional-services consulting engagements on a quote-based, project-tied pricing model with no publicly disclosed rates. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales executed by senior partners and practice directors, leveraging seven French regional offices (Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Aix-en-Provence, Niort, Rennes, Bordeaux) for client proximity. The firm has been part of the Alan Allman Associates ecosystem since 2018, which is listed on Euronext Paris Compartiment B, granting access to ~15 partner cabinets and 3,834+ experts across France, Benelux, Iberian Peninsula, Asia, and North America. With 250+ consultants, 200+ clients, ISO 9001 certification, #1 World Happy At Work 2023 recognition, and 95%+ client satisfaction, Althéa operates as a mid-sized French boutique consultancy embedded in a larger publicly traded consulting platform.
