What ALTIMAX does

ALTIMAX is a private French digital agency founded in 1998 and based in Chavanod near Annecy. It provides website creation and redesign, UX/UI design, brand and digital strategy, B2B and B2C e-commerce development, SEO/SEA/GEO, social media management, and video/3D production. Its visible customer base is concentrated in tourism and hospitality, outdoor and sports brands, industrial and B2B companies, local public organizations, and regional businesses, with examples including Lac Annecy Tourisme, Aix-les-Bains Riviera des Alpes, TSL Outdoor, LEKI, Crédit Agricole des Savoie, Hertz, and Pfeiffer Vacuum.

The company builds web platforms using CMS and commerce technologies including Drupal, Drupal Commerce, WordPress, WooCommerce, and Magento, and it provides custom ERP/PMS connectors for synchronizing products, customers, pricing, inventory, and orders. It also offers tourism-specific integrations such as Apidae Tourisme and booking systems, the Visiodata reporting tool, a conversational AI agent, and an LLM-powered search engine that retrieves answers from editorial, structured, and real-time API data.

ALTIMAX monetizes primarily through project-based custom web, e-commerce, design, audiovisual, and consulting engagements, supplemented by recurring digital-services retainers for SEO, SEA, GEO, social media, community management, and advertising campaigns. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to be scoped per engagement after consultation or audit. Its go-to-market is direct and sales-led, using website inquiries, direct contact, case studies, workshops, events, and a monthly newsletter audience to generate and nurture demand.
