Legatus

What Legatus does

Legatus is a vertical SaaS platform published by Septeo Digital & Services (a subsidiary of France-based Septeo Group) that digitizes the complete constat lifecycle for French commissaires de justice — judicial officers who perform legal evidence gathering, on-site inspections, inventory assessments, and internet constats. The platform consolidates ten workflow steps — online request intake, mission planning and calendaring, GPS/timestamped photo-video-audio capture on a native iOS/Android mobile app, AI-assisted drafting in a web or Word-compatible editor, status tracking, secure requérant portal delivery, online payment, and archival — into a single product, replacing the fragmented patchwork of tools and manual documentation that previously defined the profession. Underlying technology centers on Septeo Brain, a proprietary AI framework operated on Septeo's sovereign on-premise infrastructure in France, exposing computer vision (Vision IA for water damage, structural condition, and damage detection), speech-to-text (real-time dictation and deferred transcription of terrain recordings), NLP with context-aware legal-formulation suggestions, generative video montage with automatic Marianne watermarking, and a conversational agentic AI Assistant that performs search/create/assign actions with mandatory user confirmation on writes. The company monetizes via subscription with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing, complemented by a 30-day / 10-constat freemium trial and a sales-led motion through dedicated advisors who respond within 24 business hours; a self-serve PLG channel runs in parallel for smaller studies. The Constat Internet desktop module is certified to AFNOR NF Z67-147, the French reference standard for internet constats, and the platform is positioned for EU AI Act compliance alongside Septeo's ISO 27001 certification and RGPD-by-design architecture, creating a regulatory perimeter that doubles as a sales moat. Custody of customer and requérant data never leaves France, which differentiates Legatus from U.S. or Asian AI-native vertical SaaS competitors targeting the same regulated workflows. The product is one of several within the Septeo ecosystem and integrates natively with Soolus, Septeo's study management software, plus Google Agenda, Outlook, Paybox, and Mercanet, supporting a bidirectional workflow that converts a Soolus folder into a Legatus constat in real time.
