What ConsoTrust does

ConsoTrust, a subsidiary of Groupe Centaurus (legal entity 2JDB, SARL) headquartered in Paris, is an AI-powered SaaS platform purpose-built for the food retail and consumer goods ecosystem. The platform is organized into three complementary modules: Pics Services, which applies computer vision to extract and structure product attributes from packaging visuals, artworks, and technical documents such as ingredient sheets and specifications; Data Services, which uses natural language processing and anomaly detection to enforce INCO regulatory compliance on product data (where brand-submitted data historically contains up to 60% error rates on ingredients, nutritional values, and allergens) and to automatically calculate hundreds of consumer-facing attributes including Nutri-Score, Eco-Score, Planet-Score, health claims, origin data, and clean-label metrics; and Business Services, which delivers competitive benchmarking across 95% GTIN coverage in target geographies, range optimization, and simulation of reformulations and innovations before commercialization, enriched with panelist data from Nielsen and IRI. The product originated from AllergoBox, a 2014 consumer-facing mobile app for food allergy sufferers whose high data-quality requirements exposed the systemic unreliability of brand product data and seeded the company's proprietary AI capabilities.

The business model is B2B SaaS subscription-based, with three separately monetizable modules that can be combined per customer. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — Business Developers run a SPANCO-led direct sales motion with regional and national travel, cross-sell and up-sell focus, and self-serve trial entry via the website — supported by a technical team based in Paris and Cholet. Customers are split across two primary segments: food retailers and distributors (managing private-label and full assortments) and food manufacturers and industrials (from global multinationals to mid-cap regional producers). ConsoTrust reports over 60 industrial customers and adoption by the majority of French retail banner chains, with the platform integrated into the dominant European retail data ecosystem through Agena3000 (parent), Equadis and Traceone (PIM), GS1 France Code Online Food, Numalim, and partnerships with Nielsen and IRI.

Development has been autofinanced through revenue with no disclosed external venture capital rounds, and the company is actively hiring to scale sales and customer success capacity. As of 2021 the platform began international expansion beyond France. The founders, Julien Boyer and Julien Doyen, are also the original creators of AllergoBox and continue to lead the company, with a reported headcount of 1–10 — likely an understatement given the customer breadth and the shared services of the Centaurus Group parent.

Core offering

ConsoTrust provides a B2B SaaS platform for food brands, retailers, and distributors that uses AI to extract, validate, enrich, and analyze product data across three modules. Pics Services extracts information from product images and technical documents; Data Services controls INCO regulatory compliance and automatically calculates consumer attributes such as Nutri-Score, Eco-Score, and allergen information; Business Services delivers competitive benchmarking, range optimization, and reformulation simulation enriched with panelist sales data.

Product overview

ConsoTrust is a SaaS platform for food brands and retailers consisting of three complementary AI-powered modules: (1) ConsoTrust Pics Services for extracting and structuring information from product images and technical documents; (2) ConsoTrust Data Services for regulatory compliance control and automatic calculation of consumer attributes; and (3) ConsoTrust Business Services for benchmarking, improving, and simulating product ranges. The platform originated from AllergoBox, an allergy-focused consumer app, and leverages AI across all three modules for product data automation.

Direct peers

• Akeneo: Akeneo is a leading Product Information Management (PIM) SaaS vendor serving retailers, brands and distributors globally. ConsoTrust sits as an AI enrichment layer adjacent/above PIMs; Akeneo is the most direct platform peer because both compete for the same product-data sourcing and enrichment budget at retailers and CPGs.
• Trace One: Trace One provides PIM, supplier collaboration and product data management solutions for retail and CPG globally. ConsoTrust is already integrated with Trace One, making it both a channel partner and the closest functional peer for product-data control, compliance, and enrichment.
• Alkemics: Alkemics operates a product information sharing and transparency platform for CPG brands and retailers in Europe. It is directly comparable as a competing food/CPG product-data SaaS, addressing regulatory compliance, attribute calculation, and retailer-brand data exchange — overlapping with ConsoTrust's Data Services and Pics Services modules.
• Equadis: Equadis is a PIM and product data exchange platform for retail/CPG in Europe. Like Trace One, Equadis is both an integration partner and a comparable platform focused on retailer-CPG data flows — overlapping with ConsoTrust's Data Services positioning.

Broad incumbents

• NielsenIQ: NielsenIQ is the dominant retail measurement and consumer panel data provider; ConsoTrust partners with Nielsen to enrich Business Services. Comparable as a broad incumbent that could in principle build competitive attribute-and-sales analytics in CPG.
• Riversand: Riversand is a master data management / PIM vendor serving retailers and CPG brands. Broader enterprise incumbent in the product-data ecosystem where ConsoTrust competes for the AI-enrichment layer.
• Informatica (Product 360 / PIM): Informatica's Product 360 is an enterprise PIM/master data management solution used by large retailers and CPG manufacturers. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the same product-data category; ConsoTrust's AI-driven enrichment complements rather than fully replaces enterprise PIM functionality.

Emerging players

• HowGood: HowGood is a product intelligence platform specializing in sustainability, ethics and ingredient attributes for CPG products. Directly comparable to the Eco-Score, Planet-Score and clean-label attribute calculation functionality inside ConsoTrust Data/Business Services.
• Label Insight: Label Insight builds product attribute data and analytics for CPG brands and retailers, with deep coverage of ingredient, nutrition and label data. Highly comparable to ConsoTrust's attribute-extraction and benchmarking modules for food/CPG.

Others

• Open Food Facts: Open Food Facts is a collaborative, open database of food product data used by brands, retailers and consumer apps. ConsoTrust is integrated with it as a complementary data source; comparable as an adjacent food-product data ecosystem participant.
