Digital4Business

What Digital4Business does

Digital4Business (also styled as Digital 4 Business or D4B) is a French information technology company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Noisy-le-Grand that specializes in enterprise IT asset lifecycle management. Originally established as EAF (Entreprises d'Activités Françaises), the firm was rebranded in 2016 and subsequently expanded through the acquisitions of Facility Telecom (2011) and Repair IT (2017). The company manages mobile device and workstation fleets on behalf of large enterprises across healthcare, finance, industry, education, and agriculture, with international delivery supported through service desks in Mauritius and Tunisia. Its only publicly referenced enterprise customer is Soufflet, and the firm is privately held as a French SAS with a stated share capital of €77,000.

The company's core product is its Device as a Service (DaaS) subscription, which bundles hardware rental with maintenance management, software and security updates, warranty handling, billing, and end-of-life processing into a single multi-year contract, converting enterprise capex into opex. The technology stack is anchored by a Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform integrated with Apple Business Manager and Samsung Knox Portal, complemented by certified repair operations using OEM-authorized tools including Apple GSX. D4B also markets an own-brand rugged mobile terminal line (ROC CORE, ROC MOVE, and ROC PRO) targeting field, logistics, and industrial use cases, alongside a Smart Office solution for unified communications and workspace integration, and a D4B Care extended warranty and on-site exchange program.

D4B runs an enterprise field sales motion with custom, quote-based pricing tied to fleet size and service-level requirements, typically contracted on multi-year terms. Revenue streams span recurring DaaS subscriptions, managed services for IT infrastructure and outsourcing, certified repair services, hardware and software license resale through OEM channels, and professional services for Smart Office integration. The firm's competitive position is reinforced by a dense layer of manufacturer certifications — Apple Technical Partner, Microsoft Surface Authorized Service Provider, Samsung Knox Professional, Dell TechDirect, HP Business Partner, Lenovo 360 (2025), Yealink PrimeCare, and Zoom Up Partner — which collectively grant access to proprietary tools, spare parts, and warranty authority that uncertified resellers cannot replicate. The company reports sales above €100M for 2022 with 24% year-over-year growth.
