What Clickn Decide does

CLiCK'N DECiDE SAS is a French business intelligence software vendor headquartered in Saint-gély-du-fesc, France, with a lineage tracing back to Datasix (founded 1987). The company operates in the self-service BI segment, providing two core product families: Self-Service DATA, a universal data hub enabling SQL-free query creation across heterogeneous sources (databases, ERPs, Excel, Salesforce) with results shareable via OData, REST, or Google DataTable protocols; and Self-Service DASHBOARD, a free SaaS dashboard builder where queries execute directly between the user's browser and their own data servers, meaning data and credentials never transit through the CLiCK'N DECiDE SaaS layer. The portfolio also includes NSI (Network & Security Intelligence), a SIEM-adjacent log management and compliance reporting product, plus add-on connectors for SAP (via ERP Connect from Theobald Software), INFOR M3 (via M3MI API), iSeries/AS400, and a multi-database module enabling cross-source queries.

The underlying technology is differentiated by its SAP-certified integration depth, INFOR M3 native connectivity, and a multi-database query engine that lets a single query span heterogeneous sources simultaneously. Architecture emphasizes data sovereignty (browser-to-source-server query routing), zero SQL knowledge requirement via mouse-driven query building, and standard protocol outputs enabling handoff to Power BI, Qlik, Tableau, and Excel.

The business model combines perpetual per-server software licenses with mandatory annual maintenance (20% of license), a freemium SaaS tier (Self-Service Dashboard) that drives upsell into the paid Self-Service Data product, OEM licensing to partners such as Stormshield and Safenet who embed the technology under their own brands, and professional services for custom connectors and training. Distribution is exclusively indirect: the company sells through a certified partner network spanning 40+ countries, including regional distributors (Click&Decide Nordic AB, Datasix Sistemas, Micro-Host, Toolmaker Software), VARs and system integrators (Applium, IBM France, BT France), and MSPs, with no direct sales motion. The customer base of 150+ European enterprises includes MAN, Hutchinson, Toyota, Renault, Banco Santander, Sandvik, Atlas Copco, and Johnson & Johnson, with no disclosed funding, acquisitions, or external investors.
