VigiCom

What VigiCom does

VigiCom is a French designer and manufacturer of lone-worker protection (PTI/DATI) systems, operated by AEPI SAS and headquartered in Granville, France, with more than 20 years of operating history since its 2004 founding. The company's portfolio addresses the French regulatory obligation under articles L4121-1 to L4121-5 of the Labor Code, which requires employers to protect workers operating outside the visual or auditory range of colleagues. Its product line spans three primary form factors — the ATi401 compact 4G GSM box, the ATiWatch 4G smartwatch, and the SmartDati Android application (€199 ex-tax perpetual license) — complemented by PTI smartphones, ATEX-certified Zone 1/2 phones, PTI walkie-talkies, and the MyPTi cloud supervision platform targeted for broader rollout in 2026. Core technical capabilities center on 3D motion sensors with proprietary detection algorithms that identify loss of verticality, prolonged immobility, and voluntary SOS events, supported by GPS/AGPS and Wi-Fi geolocation, IP67-rated hardware, and bidirectional voice communication over 4G LTE.

VigiCom generates revenue through a mix of one-time hardware sales, perpetual software licenses, short-term rentals, annual maintenance contracts, monthly telésurveillance subscriptions over the SIA-DC09 protocol, and on-site installation/training services. Its go-to-market is hybrid: a self-service e-commerce storefront at vigicom.fr, a 20-year authorized distributor and reseller network across France, and direct expert-led B2B sales targeting SMEs, local governments, and large industrial groups. Named enterprise customers include SNCF, Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, Lorillard, Limagrain, Ourry, Paul, Brangeon, and Accord Hotel, spanning construction, transportation, agriculture, hospitality, and logistics. The company also offers a 24-month breakage/theft/battery warranty and M2M SIM cards tailored to its devices.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Argality: French provider of PTI/DATI solutions for isolated workers, offering connected devices, alarms, and supervision services — a domestic direct peer to VigiCom with overlapping product positioning and customer base in France.
• SoloProtect (now part of The Safety Wallet): Direct UK-originated competitor in lone worker safety devices and 24/7 monitoring, selling dedicated hardware, smartphone apps, and managed monitoring to enterprises — directly comparable to VigiCom's ATi/SmartDati/Mytéléassistance stack.
• Blackline Safety: Canadian-headquartered connected safety technology vendor offering lone worker wearables with gas detection, 3D fall detection, GPS, and 24/7 monitoring — directly comparable to VigiCom's ATi401/ATiWatch and monitoring offering.
• D-Sécurité (DigiProtect / D-PTI): French PTI/DATI specialist offering lone worker terminals, smartphone apps, and remote alarm reception. Direct competitor in the French regulatory compliance market for isolated worker protection.
• StaySafe (StaySafe App / Lone Worker Solutions): Cloud-based lone worker solution combining a smartphone app, SOS button, fall detection, and monitoring hub. Competes head-to-head with VigiCom's SmartDati app proposition, particularly for customers prioritizing software over dedicated hardware.

Broad incumbents

• Tunstall Healthcare: UK-based telehealth and telecare provider with connected safety solutions for vulnerable workers and individuals. Comparable to VigiCom on monitoring-as-a-service model, though oriented toward healthcare/social care use cases.
• ADT (Securitas Direct / ADT Inc.): Global security/telesurveillance incumbent that could expand into lone worker monitoring leveraging its alarm receiving centers and enterprise security footprint. Overlaps with VigiCom's 24/7 telesurveillance service rather than its dedicated hardware range.
• Puls (Puls+) / Telefónica IoT Safety: Larger operator-led safety and lone worker offerings (often bundled with SIM/connectivity and operator platforms). Competes with VigiCom on telesurveillance and integrated connectivity, though typically as part of broader telecom/IoT portfolios rather than standalone PTI devices.
• Total Safety: US-based safety services provider offering worker monitoring, gas detection, and safety equipment for industrial environments. Comparable to VigiCom on the industrial safety/equipment side, though a much broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Alerteo: Lone worker protection and fall detection provider operating in France/Benelux, with comparable smartphone app and dedicated hardware offerings. A regional peer overlapping with VigiCom's core French market.
