What Groupe SCR does

Groupe SCR is a Paris-based independent communication and digital development agency operating as a full-service 360° provider. Founded in 2000 as a merger between a communication agency and a digital development studio, the company serves a mix of French PME/ETI, large multinationals, and GAFAM technology companies. Its client portfolio spans enterprise names including Royal Canin, Carrefour, Banque BCP, Celyad, and Eurobio, alongside mid-market and institutional clients across retail, insurance, healthcare, banking, biotech, logistics, and film distribution. The company reports that 37% of its client base is drawn from CAC 40 companies and claims a 100% client satisfaction rate.

The service portfolio spans five core poles: communication strategy consulting, graphic design, digital creation and development, 3D/motion design and video, and photography. Digital delivery uses mainstream CMS and frameworks (WordPress, Symfony, Drupal, Prestashop, Magento) with front-end stacks including Angular, React.js, PHP, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3. Three registered proprietary assets are claimed — SCR WebSolution, SCR WebMail, and Recruitcenter — and in October 2024 the company launched ECard by SCR, an NFC-enabled digital business card product. AI capabilities (generative content, chatbots, predictive analytics, personalization, automation) are positioned as add-ons integrated into client projects rather than as a standalone product line.

Groupe SCR generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services engagements, with recurring revenue from hosting, maintenance, and TMA contracts billed on subscription terms. Pricing is quote-driven with no publicly disclosed tiers, and standard payment terms are 30 days from invoice. The company operates from three offices — Neuilly-sur-Seine (HQ), Rambouillet, and Sophia Antipolis — under an EURL structure with €300,000 of share capital, indicating a small-to-mid-sized services firm. Distribution is direct via enterprise and mid-market field sales, supplemented by referral partnerships with Google, OVH, Les Digiteurs, CCI, Dis Group, and Gandi.
