Matos

What Matos does

Matos (legally HASTEC SAS) is a French vertical SaaS company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Treillières, near Nantes. The company develops Matos Connect, a software platform serving the French Travaux Publics (TP/civil engineering) sector, with a primary focus on equipment rental companies with drivers (locatiers) and TP construction enterprises that hire equipment for their worksites. The product replaces paper-based mission planning, rental note generation, and invoicing with a digitized workflow from reservation through to billing, including regulatory document control (CACES, AIPR, EPI, FIMO) and carbon footprint tracking aligned with BEGES reporting.

The product suite consists of a web-based planning and back-office platform, a driver mobile application that is functional offline (GPS guidance, mission orders, EPI checks, electronic delivery notes with signatures, photo capture), the Matos Réseau marketplace module for searching and booking equipment with drivers in real time, and an interactive ROI calculator. The platform integrates with Chorus Pro, the French public e-invoicing portal, to support mandatory electronic invoicing compliance, and applies French-specific CNR fuel indexation for automatic diesel surcharge calculation.

Matos operates a sales-led go-to-market with direct demo requests, a referral/affiliate program offering 20% commission on referred clients' first annual subscription, content marketing through an active TP-focused blog, and presence at industry trade events. Revenue is generated through annual B2B SaaS subscriptions with quote-based pricing; one blog reference cites approximately €99/month for narrow order-management use cases, with broader annual commitments for the full platform. The company raised €600k in October 2019 from the ABAB network, private BTP investors, and BPIFrance, and continues to operate with a small team of 11-50 employees, currently hiring for a junior business developer role.

Emerging players

• Praxedo: French field service management SaaS for technicians and mobile workforces. Comparable to Matos on the mobile-workforce scheduling, dispatch, and reporting backbone, though it targets telecom/utility field service rather than TP rental specifically.
• Alobees: French construction project management SaaS for SMB contractors. Comparable to Matos as a French vertical SaaS targeting construction SMBs with mobile-first daily operations tools.
• BatiScript: French construction SaaS providing site and project management tools. Adjacent to Matos in serving French construction SMBs, with overlap in site-level daily reporting and document workflows.
• Mobility Work: French CMMS / industrial maintenance SaaS. Comparable to Matos on the equipment-tracking and maintenance-documentation side, though Mobility Work focuses on industrial maintenance rather than rental missions.
• Finalcad: French construction SaaS for site execution, quality, and reporting. Adjacent to Matos in serving French construction with mobile-first workflows, though Finalcad focuses on building construction rather than TP equipment rental.

Direct peers

• Trackunit: Danish fleet telematics and connected equipment platform for the construction equipment industry. Most directly comparable to Matos on the locatier/equipment-side telematics and utilization tracking, though Trackunit focuses on OEM-embedded hardware + SaaS rather than rental mission workflow.
• Tracktor: French online marketplace for renting construction equipment and machinery. Overlaps with Matos Réseau's locatier-to-E TP discovery use case and serves the same French TP / construction customer base.
• Locapro: French platform connecting construction professionals with equipment rental providers. Comparable to Matos on the locatier-supply / ETP-demand matchmaking side of the French construction equipment rental market.

Broad incumbents

• Procore Technologies: US-listed construction management SaaS covering project, field, and financial workflows. Comparable to Matos as a broader platform that could expand downward into TP rental workflows, especially for enterprise TP groups already using Procore.
• Kiloutou: France's largest construction equipment rental company. Comparable to Matos's locatier customer profile; operates its own internal digital tools and represents both a potential large customer and a competitive incumbent for TP-rental software buyers.
