What Agence Agerix does

Agence Agerix (Agerix SARL) is a French engineering practice (bureau d'études) that designs, develops, and maintains custom business applications for organisations whose processes cannot be served by packaged software. Founded in May 2009 by Eric Lamy as a sole trader in Bordeaux and incorporated as a SARL in July 2015, the firm is headquartered operationally at 20 avenue de la Libération, 33310 Lormont, near Bordeaux, and operates with a team of 15 people covering design, development, and maintenance. Over 17 years of continuous operation, Agerix has delivered more than 150 business applications across four primary sectors: industry, services, education, and philanthropy/mécénat. Select disclosed clients include Fondation de France, Les Cours de Julie, Travel-Safe, and Académie du 13.

The company's core offering is end-to-end custom application development, including dedicated internal tools, extranet portals, sector platforms, and bespoke ERP/CRM modules, built on an open-source technology stack comprising PHP, Python, server-side JavaScript, frontend JavaScript frameworks, Joomla CMS expertise, and OVHcloud hosting infrastructure. Agerix positions a structured methodology (MoSCoW prioritisation, RACI matrix, Cynefin complexity framework) and rigorous upfront scoping as the principal differentiator, supplemented by Privacy-by-Design architecture for GDPR compliance. The firm has begun integrating AI tools—principally Claude Code for agentic development workflows and AI-assisted content creation—explicitly as accelerators rather than drivers, with human expertise retained on architectural and scoping decisions.

Agerix generates revenue exclusively through professional services engagements: bespoke project quotes derived from a free initial 30-minute scoping conversation, with no standardised SaaS products, pricing tiers, or automated sales funnels. Customer acquisition is direct and consultative, originating from website contact forms, phone enquiries, or in-person visits to the Lormont office, followed by a structured proposal process targeting mid-market and enterprise French organisations. The firm is privately held, founder-owned and operated, and functions with no disclosed external institutional investment, parent company, or strategic partnership.

Core offering

Agerix designs, develops, and maintains custom business applications for organisations whose processes are too specific for off-the-shelf software. Its core offering covers dedicated internal tools, extranet portals, sector-specific platforms, and custom ERP/CRM modules, delivered as bespoke project engagements with long-term maintenance and sovereign European hosting. The practice complements development with a formal scoping methodology (MoSCoW, RACI, Cynefin) and technology advisory on open-source stacks (PHP, Python, JavaScript, Joomla).

Product overview

Agence Agerix operates as an engineering practice specializing in custom business application development. Their core offering comprises tailored business applications (Applications métier sur mesure) — including dedicated internal tools, extranet portals, and sector platforms — complemented by a structured methodology service (Notre approche) that applies decision frameworks like MoSCoW, RACI, and Cynefin for project scoping and governance. A third pillar covers technology stack advisory to ensure applications are built on open, long-term sustainable foundations (PHP, Python, JavaScript, Joomla, European hosting). The three components work together: applications are scoped using the methodology, then built on technology choices appropriate to each project's lifespan.
