What Applium does

Applium is a French consulting and integration firm founded in 2002, headquartered in Clichy, France, with 51–100 employees. The company is positioned as a 100% SAP-dedicated practice, covering the full lifecycle of SAP solutions including SAP S/4HANA (Public Cloud, Private Cloud via RISE, and On-Premise), SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP Field Service Management, SAP Extended Warehouse Management, SAP Signavio, SAP Sustainability, SAP Central Invoice Management, SAP Fiori, and SAP Enable Now. Its proprietary tooling includes the SURFtoS/4 migration methodology (Greenfield and Brownfield approaches), the AFL Applium Fiori Library, the ARS resource scheduling tool, the SRP supplier portal, the Solidex BTP-based equipment-recycling prototype, and the Appl'IA service wrapper around SAP Business AI. The company also bundles a Generix-based certified Approved Platform (GenerixByApplium) for compliance with the French electronic invoicing reform.

The business operates across multiple revenue streams: end-to-end SAP consulting and integration (professional services), third-party application maintenance (TMA managed services), managed cloud hosting on Azure, AWS, and OVHcloud, SAP training via the ENABLEtoLEARN methodology, and a placement/staffing line for independent SAP consultants. Customers span distribution, industry, agribusiness, aerospace/research, and public-sector clients (e.g., Maison Johanes Boubee, Elkem Silicones, Etanco, Adisseo, CDC Habitat, API Distribution, Lohr Industries, RTM, Vect-Horus). GTM is sales-led and direct, targeting both mid-market and large enterprises through consultative proposals, RFPs, and co-sell with ecosystem partners (SAP, Microsoft, AWS, OVHcloud, Generix, OpenText, WIIO, Trustpair, Seenovate). Geographic scope is limited to French-speaking markets (primarily France), and pricing is quote-based and project-tailored with no public disclosure.

Operating signals suggest an active growth phase: the firm shows 24 open job postings as of June 2026, a recurring webinar and content-marketing cadence, recent case studies (Vect-Horus SAP Cloud ERP in 3 months; Ascodunes ECC6-to-Azure in 5 weeks), and ongoing product-line additions in AI (Appl'IA), sustainability (Applium4Green), and electronic invoicing (GenerixByApplium). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent entity, or ownership structure.
