Revenue model

1. Hardware instruments, sensors, and data loggers: Jean Lutz generates revenue primarily from the sale of its proprietary measurement instruments (data loggers such as DIALOG MX4, CINTAC, DEFI, BAP 160), high-precision sensors (pressure, displacement, rotation, positioning, vibration, deviation, inclination), and related hardware. All products are designed and manufactured in-house at the Jurançon facility.
2. Software and data services: Revenue from software platforms including the customer portal (next-generation web and mobile application) and data management services. The customer portal enables real-time monitoring, remote display of work progress, quality control, machine geolocation, and work statistics.
3. Technical services and support: Jean Lutz provides ongoing technical assistance, installation, training, and maintenance services globally through specialized teams. Eight dedicated agents perform approximately 1,200 interventions per year worldwide, contributing to recurring service revenue.
