What CIIS does

CiiS is a privately held French IT consulting and development firm (SAS) founded in 1991 and headquartered in Antony, France, with a stated share capital of €37,000 and a current headcount of 1-10 employees. The company exclusively serves the hospitality and restaurant sectors, providing three core service lines: IT consulting (technology optimization strategies and requirements definition), software development (custom scalable applications), and seamless system integration connecting CRS (Central Reservation System), PMS (Property Management System), OTA (Online Travel Agency), and POS (Point of Sale) platforms with clients' existing IT infrastructure. A complementary offering — Collaborative Technology Solutions — focuses on automating routine operations and personalizing guest experiences, including loyalty system integration and BI-driven decision support.

The firm's business model is professional services-based: engagements are quote-based and tailored to individual client requirements, with no publicly disclosed pricing, no disclosed customers, and no recurring software/SaaS revenue line. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct engagement (phone, email, website contact forms) with hospitality businesses, supported by a content-marketing website. Distribution is direct; marketing is website-centric. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no partnerships, no certifications, no patents, and no AI/ML capabilities. Ownership is concentrated with founder/management (President Vincent Thomas), with no parent company or external investors identified in the data. The firm claims 30+ years of sector experience and 100+ successful projects delivered globally, although formal operating geography registration is limited to France.
