What Kadys does

Kadys is a privately held French digital transformation integrator founded in 2009 and headquartered in Montauban, France, with a secondary office in the Caribbean (Kadys Caraïbes). The company specializes in electronic document management (GED — Gestion Électronique de Documents), legal dematerialization (Démat' Légale), collaborative portals, and custom software development, serving a vertically diversified client base across French public administration (CDG, mairies, territorial collectivities), associations and federations, industry (aeronautics, automotive, building, textile), Entreprises Publiques Locales (EPL), consulting firms, and services companies. Named clients include Andros, INFACO, SwissLife, AXA-affiliated Lagisquet Berges, CDG du Cantal, CDG 15, ADMR, Centrakor (Ivantout), and NordSEM, among others.

The company's core technology stack combines resale and integration of third-party platforms (Visiativ, DOCUWARE, Yousign, Open Bee, Progisem/Go7, BeProject) with a proprietary custom-development layer branded K-DEV, which encompasses K-SOLUTION (legal-value dematerialization with timestamping via trusted third-party DPii), K-CONNECT (ERP/payroll/accounting connectors), K-PTUR (QR-code-driven automatic document classification and validation circuit triggering), and K-SCRIPT (custom workflow scripting). Its delivery methodology, the Méthode Karré, structures engagements around four interdependent levers covering documentary, organizational, functional, and technical audit, supplemented by RAD (Reconnaissance Automatique de Documents) OCR-based automatic classification and indexing.

Kadys operates a sales-led, enterprise-focused go-to-market with discovery calls scheduled via Calendly and quote-based multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated through professional services (AMO consulting, training certified under QUALIOPI for OPCO funding eligibility), recurring subscription/managed services for platform integration and hosting (via Green IT-certified partner OVEA and SNH), and project-based custom development. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by platform, user count, customization, and service scope. The company is structured around 8 interconnected competency poles organized in a neural rather than vertical configuration to support agile multi-vertical delivery. Registered as SAS KADYS with €20,000 share capital and SIREN 518 730 619, the firm operates with 11-50 employees and no disclosed institutional funding.
