Simco

What Simco does

INEDI (associated with the Simco brand) is a French SaaS vendor founded in 1989 that supplies integrated software solutions to public sector organisations in France, including communes, intercommunalités, public establishments, and ministries. The company serves 3,600+ collectivités with an 8-product suite organised across three verticals: Investissement (Ediflex for public works invoicing, Edibudget for multi-operation budget tracking, Edidoc for eIDAS-compliant electronic signatures), Finances Locales (Smart for budget cycle management and prospective planning, PerfOrm for debt and treasury), and Citoyens (eTicket for family/school services, Neopse and Localiti for municipal websites and mobile apps, Les Petits Billets for local ticketing), plus an advisory arm (Orfeor360).

Technically, the platform is built on a shared common database with native interoperability between modules, eliminating duplicate data entry across Ediflex, Edibudget, and Edidoc. All data is hosted on servers located in France with no data leaving national territory. The suite is certified compliant with key French public sector frameworks — M57 accounting, Chorus Pro e-invoicing, eIDAS, RGAA accessibility, RGPD, and PayFIP — and includes continuous legislative monitoring as a service feature.

Commercially, INEDI operates a subscription-based SaaS model with enterprise field sales targeting the French public sector. Products can be purchased individually or as integrated packages, with sales driven by personalised demo requests routed through an Outlook booking system and 24-hour expert follow-up. Marketing emphasises direct engagement, content publications, and a LinkedIn presence. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Jonathan Dahan and operates without disclosed external funding, suggesting founder/privately-held ownership and a self-funded growth posture.
