ROCH Service

What ROCH Service does

ROCH Service S.A.S. is a French private company founded in 1997 (per firmographics; company history states 1999) that specializes in the inspection, management, and asset software for public lighting and road infrastructure. The company delivers non-destructive mechanical conformity inspection of public lighting poles, stadium masts, traffic signals, and road signage using proprietary control units that reproduce wind action with documented accuracy (+/-1.25%) across 12 characteristic points. Its service portfolio extends to photometric diagnosis compliant with European EN 13201 standards, electrical conformity inspection, heritage inventory with GPS-based geolocation, and buried network detection using electromagnetic field technology combined with centimetric GNSS receivers.

The company also develops and licenses SAGA (S@G@), a proprietary GMAO software platform that integrates inspection results, asset geolocation, maintenance tracking, regulatory control monitoring, and energy performance display, with web and mobile (smartphone/tablet) delivery. Revenue is generated through two principal streams: professional services contracts (mechanical, photometric, electrical inspections, and inventory field work) performed by accredited field technicians, and recurring SAGA software licensing for asset management and geolocation. The go-to-market relies on a regional direct commercial team covering France (North, South, East, West, Rhône-Alpes, Southwest, Paris region) plus a Switzerland agent (René Widmer), targeting municipalities and local government authorities (collectivités locales) responsible for public infrastructure.

The company operates from Cergy-Pontoise near Paris, housing a training center with laboratories, test benches, measurement instruments, and finite element modeling simulation. ROCH Service holds COFRAC ISO 17020 accreditation (N°3-0927, since April 2012) under European domain 15.2.2, ISO 9001 quality certification, multiple patents in non-destructive testing methods, and maintains technical partnerships with industry associations AITF, ATTF, and AFE for training and standards dissemination.
