ALOES

What ALOES does

ALOES is a privately-held French IT services firm (SARL) founded in 1989 and headquartered at 116 boulevard de Grenelle in Paris. The company specializes in consulting and deployment of management and payment solutions, web and extranet site development, mobile application development, and maintenance of IT infrastructure and networks. Its primary customer base consists of French small and medium enterprises (PMEs), and it also serves a French luxury group with 400 franchised locations and the group's American subsidiary. Technology delivery centers on SAGE management software implementations carried out through a core partnership with IN SYSTEM, a Sage-certified competence center.

The business operates on a sales-led, professional services model with a deliberately small footprint of approximately 10 employees. ALOES positions itself as a "human-sized" firm whose value proposition rests on the expertise and availability of its consultants, developers, hotliners, and technical engineers rather than proprietary technology or scale. Service revenue is generated through consulting engagements, solution deployment, recurring support contracts, and project-based development work. No pricing is publicly disclosed, no app or API product exists, and the company holds no patents or trademarks.

ALOES is founder-managed by Nicolas Beriot (Gérant) with a stated share capital of 11,433 euros, indicating a tightly-held independent ownership structure with no external investment or parent company. The company is CNIL-compliant for personal data processing. With no disclosed funding, acquisitions, product launches, or AI initiatives, ALOES presents as a stable, long-tenured boutique services firm with a narrow but apparently durable relationship with one large multi-site luxury retail client.
