What Athome Solution does

Athome Solution is a French digital services company (SARL) headquartered at 6 rue Minvielle, Bordeaux, that designs, develops, and maintains bespoke web and mobile applications for organizations seeking digital transformation under a responsible-digital framework. The firm operates an open-source-first stack spanning JavaScript/TypeScript with Vue.js, Nuxt.js, Vuetify, TailwindCSS on the front end and Symfony (PHP) and Node.js with API Platform on the back end, backed by MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and ElasticSearch, with full intellectual property transferred to the client. Two proprietary tools — Feedjet (a €12/month UX feedback SaaS) and Tilid (an internal quality management platform reporting 95% team adoption within 3 months) — complement the service portfolio and are commercialized in their own right.

The business is primarily project-based professional services revenue: custom application development, agile project management (100% of projects in agile, ~40-50 per year), UX/AMO consulting, design system creation, and lifecycle maintenance (corrective, adaptive, evolutive, preventive). A second growth line, the Référent IA (trusted AI advisor) service, addresses AI governance, AI Act compliance, and responsible AI adoption, supported by a 5-year patronage of the Confiance IA research chair at Université de Bordeaux and a partnership with Cabinet Dasquet Avocats.

The firm employs 11-50 staff, all Opquast-certified, and holds the highest-tier INR (Institut du Numérique Responsable) Ambassador certification, CII innovation-tax-credit accreditation, and leadership positions in MEDEF Gironde and SYRPIN. The go-to-market is consultative and direct, anchored in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine regional ecosystem with content marketing, conference speaking, and ecosystem referrals, targeting private and public-sector clients requiring durable, compliant, sovereign-built applications.
