Ozego

What Ozego does

Ozego is a privately held French business concierge firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Perpignan, with a regional office in Sainte Foy lès Lyon. The company provides back-office support and purchasing optimization services to more than 1,000 clients across France, focused on public and private local authorities, collective catering operators, médico-social establishments (EHPAD, IME), social economy organizations, hospitality businesses, healthcare centers, and SMEs. Ozego delivers three commercial offerings: OZEXTERNE (purchase outsourcing with globalized billing and supplier payment management), OZABONÉ (a subscription service with a dedicated team of ten experts, priority support, and access to negotiated partner rates), and OZAFFILIÉ (self-service affiliation providing partner tools at preferential rates). The service portfolio spans audit and consulting, back-office assistance, and resource optimization across fifteen expertise areas covering food, hygiene, medical devices, office supplies, furniture, regulatory controls, recycling, works, robotics, and IT/telephony.

The company operates a network of more than 250 vetted supplier partners including Sysco, SOCOPA, DS Restauration, Lactalis Nutrition Santé (Delical), Episaveurs and Terre Azur (Groupe Pomona), Passion Froid, SDA (Terreña), Pro a Pro, HEDIS, Vivalya, Orapi, Transgourmet, and Sider, enabling aggregated purchasing power that Ozego states yields up to 30% cost savings for clients. Its proprietary technology consists of the OZ' web-based management tool for inventory, price comparison, and order placement, alongside the WICAT software platform used by clients to optimize purchasing practices. Ozego complements these tools with compliance services including Plan de Maîtrise Sanitaire (PMS/HACCP) implementation, HAS certification support for ESSMS establishments, and regulatory control optimization in partnership with bodies such as Apave, Bureau Veritas, Dekra, and Qualiconsult.

Ozego's go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, combining direct account management with participation in industry congresses (AGE3, Rest'Hôtel, Exp'Hôtel) and content marketing through its blog and the 'Les Z'Héros d'Ozego' web series on YouTube. The company maintains active presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube, and publishes educational guides on regulatory compliance and purchasing optimization. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries, and operates exclusively within the French market.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Apave: Apave is a major French regulatory-control and conformity-assessment body that Ozego partners with for safety inspections. It is comparable as an adjacent/complementary compliance-services provider in the same medical-social and collective-customer ecosystem, rather than a direct competitor.
• Bureau Veritas France: Bureau Veritas is a global testing, inspection, and certification firm that Ozego partners with for regulatory controls. Comparable as an adjacent compliance provider serving the same institutional buyers and offering similar audit-driven advisory services.

Broad incumbents

• Sodexo France: Sodexo is a global facility management and collective catering group with deep exposure to healthcare and seniors living in France. As a broad incumbent, it competes for the same institutional wallet and includes procurement-consulting-style services in its integrated offering.
• Manutan: Manutan is a European B2B distributor of workplace, hospitality, and facility supplies with a curated catalogue and procurement services. While much larger and product-led, it overlaps with Ozego's role of supplying and negotiating non-food categories (hygiene, furniture, IT) to institutional clients.
• Elior Group: Elior is a major French collective catering and facility services operator serving healthcare, education, and corporate clients. It is comparable because its customer base overlaps heavily with Ozego's serving segment, and it bundles procurement, menu engineering, and compliance services into its offering.
• Sysco France: Sysco is the global leader in foodservice distribution and a core Ozego partner, but it also sells directly to collective catering and healthcare operators. It is a comparable incumbent in the same buyer-supplier ecosystem and a potential disintermediation threat.
• Pomona Group (Episaveurs, Terre Azur, Passion Froid): Pomona is France's largest specialist foodservice distributor with multiple subsidiaries (Episaveurs, Passion Froid, Terre Azur) that are direct Ozego partners. Comparable as an incumbent in the same buyer ecosystem, providing both products and bundled value-add services to restaurant and healthcare accounts.

Direct peers

• Convergence (Santé & Collectivités): Convergence is a French group purchasing organization (GPO) and procurement-services firm focused on healthcare establishments, EHPADs, and public-collectivity buyers. It competes directly with Ozego in pooled procurement and supplier-negotiation services for the medico-social segment.
• Wassa: Wassa is a French corporate concierge operator that delivers back-office, purchasing, and employee-services support to SMEs and mid-market enterprises. It is the closest direct peer to Ozego's "conciergerie d'entreprise" offering, with a similar tiered subscription model and B2B focus.
• Resourceria: Resourceria is a French procurement and resource-optimization consultancy serving healthcare, medico-social, and public-sector clients. It offers comparable supplier referencing, contract renegotiation, and back-office support services to the same buyer base as Ozego.
