Core offering

Libel develops and sells vertical B2B SaaS software for French construction-industry professionals, including public tender management (Libel Appels d'Offres), maîtrise d'oeuvre and architect project management (Libel Gestion Maîtrise d'Oeuvre), and HVAC/fluid intervention field-service management (Libel Intervention & Gestion). The solutions integrate with TrackDéchets for refrigerant regulatory compliance and with OpenAI for a memory technique that automates repetitive entries, and are sold under subscription with a 12-month minimum commitment.

Product overview

Libel is a French software publisher offering three distinct core products: (1) Libel Appels d'Offres — a public/private procurement bid management platform combining market intelligence (Veille), tender response automation (Logiciel Réponse), and AI-assisted memory technique drafting (Assistant IA) with optional advisory services; (2) Libel Gestion Maîtrise d'Oeuvre — software for architects and master contractors to manage urban planning Cerfa forms, accessibility notices, and permit documentation; and (3) Libel Intervention & Gestion — field service management for heating, air conditioning, and chimney professionals, including TrackDéchets/BSFF refrigerant fluid waste compliance module and barcode cylinder tracking. All three products share a unified client portal structure (espace client) and are complemented by sector-specific blogs (AO, Archi, Thermic News), training services, white papers, webinars, and remote technical support. The company is headquartered in Lyon, France.

Emerging players

• Kairnial Group: Kairnial is a French construction tech platform offering collaborative project management and document workflows for BTP. It competes for the same architect and BTP customer wallet share, with broader construction lifecycle coverage than Libel.

Broad incumbents

• Sage Bâtiment (Sage): Sage Bâtiment is Sage's France-specific construction accounting and management suite for BTP artisans.
