Koba Civique

What Koba Civique does

Koba Civique By Hob is a French SaaS provider of digital services for local governments, operating as a brand under parent company HOB France Services. The platform is purpose-built for French municipalities (mairies) and intercommunal structures (communautés de communes / EPCI), offering a unified portal that bundles website creation, internal collaboration, citizen communication, mobile applications, and family/periscolaire management.

The product suite is organized around the core Mon Site municipal website builder (starting at €650/year HT, with 50+ features including news, events, service directory, RGAA/RGPD compliance, and integrations with FranceConnect for identity and TIPI/Paybox for payments). Four add-on modules — Mon Espace Collaboratif (staff intranet, from €450/year HT), Ma Communication (email/SMS campaigns, credit-based), Application Citoyenne (citizen mobile app, from €450/year HT), and Mon Espace Famille (periscolaire billing portal) — share a common back-end and citizen database. All software is developed in-house in Golfe Juan, France, and hosted on French infrastructure in Paris and Lyon.

The business model is subscription-based SaaS with annual billing, a 3-year initial contract term, and 1-year tacit renewal. Pricing is modular under a "pay only for what you need" philosophy, with usage-based credits layered on for communication services. Sales are conducted directly through the company website, phone (09.54.43.67.20), free trials, demonstrations, and presence at industry events such as the Salon des Maires et Collectivités Locales (SMCL). The company claims 600+ municipalities and 200+ communautés de communes as customers and is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding.
