See-d

What See-d does

See-d is a French AI and Data Science consulting firm founded in 2014 by Emmanuel Frénod, a mathematics professor at Université Bretagne Sud. Headquartered in Vannes with a Paris presence, the company operates as a private SAS with a small team (1–10 employees) built around PhDs and senior engineers. It has delivered more than 200 projects across 50+ clients including Renault, ACOSS, Eureden, Eram, Stef, Diana Food, and INRAE, spanning agri-food, automotive, retail, government/social protection, healthcare, construction, energy, and IT services.

The firm's core offering is Intelligence Artificielle sur Mesure — bespoke AI systems engineered from advanced mathematical and statistical models including dynamic systems, Markov chains, time series (EDS, PDE), and evolutionary algorithms. See-d also delivers AIaaS via dashboards or APIs, and packages its capabilities into named Use Cases covering Pricing, Segmentation, Forecasting (Prévision), Piloting, Smart Farming, R&D, and Precision. Its proprietary Learning Digital Twin (Jumeau Numérique Apprenant) methodology uses data assimilation for real-time monitoring of physical systems.

See-d monetizes through professional services: a two-phase engagement (initial audit/PoC followed by industrialization) billed under bespoke Conditions Particulières, with data preparation charged at €1,000 HT/day/person and multi-year contract structures. A secondary revenue stream is training, delivered through its registered training organization (n° 53560990756) via the DIAIC (Integrating AI into 6 Sigma) program and Learning Digital Twin courses in INTRA and INTER formats. GTM is sales-led and direct-to-enterprise, supported by content marketing, SEO, downloadable use-case PDFs, and a co-editorial partnership with Bretagne Supply Chain.
