What Wanao does

Wanao is a French SaaS company providing public procurement management solutions to businesses responding to public tenders in France. Founded in 2003 and headquartered at the Technopole Izarbel technology park in Bidart, with a secondary office in Issy-les-Moulineaux (Paris metropolitan area), the company operates as a single-member SAS under Groupe Intescia with approximately 11-50 employees and €138,200 in share capital. The company has positioned itself as a specialist in French public procurement for over 20 years, serving customers across healthcare, energy, automotive, industrial, financial services, and other verticals.

Wanao's product architecture follows a platform-plus-modules model centered on Wanao Web, a cloud-based SaaS platform accessible via login credentials. The core platform aggregates and standardizes tender announcements from nearly 10,000 daily publication sources including BOAMP, JOUE, regional press, public institution websites, and aggregator platforms, applying deduplication, multi-alert filtering, geographic zone filtering, and Regex-based search. Specialized modules extend platform functionality: Sendao enables one-click dematerialized bid submission across fragmented buyer platforms; WanReport provides analytics with PowerBI integration; WanConnect handles integration with external buyer systems; Wanao Insight delivers construction project lifecycle signals; and Synthèse IA des DCE offers AI-powered tender document summarization. The company also offers professional training services (Formations aux marchés publics) covering DUME, procurement execution, and dispute management.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based SaaS contracts (quote-based, annual billing implied) supplemented by training, market studies, and consulting services. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales driven by inbound demo requests, content marketing through a blog covering French procurement topics, recurring webinars, and customer testimonials. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is concentrated in France with no evidence of geographic expansion. The company displays notable enterprise customer references including Johnson & Johnson, EDF, Ford, 3M, Adecco, La Banque Postale, and Groupama, alongside specialized healthcare procurement users.
