What Infodev does

Infodev is an independent French software publisher (ESN) founded in 1981 and headquartered in Sens, with regional offices in Besançon and Montbéliard to serve France's automotive corridor. The company designs, distributes, and implements integrated management software for industrial and trading SMEs, with a primary vertical focus on automotive suppliers (Tier 1-3) and manufacturers. Its flagship product is AGI, a modular ERP covering CRM, production planning (MRP/MRP II/Kanban/DDMRP), manufacturing execution, maintenance (GMAO/TPM), quality control, warehouse, logistics, EDI, and finance. Around AGI, the company has built a complementary portfolio: C3P for real-time MES workshop supervision, M2P for fully integrated GMAO/TPM maintenance management, CLE Access (developed by subsidiary INAROB) as an entry-level commercial management and EDI solution for TPE/PME, and Auto-Gration as a secure EDI server for automated document exchange. Technology is on-prem with legacy architecture (BBj database evolved from BB3 in 2018) and access via Emulation, Java client, and web browser.

The business model rests on one-time software licensing for AGI, C3P, M2P, and CLE Access, supplemented by professional services (consulting, training, technical assistance) and managed hosting/infogérance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is sales-led and direct, concentrated in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté with an international channel structure established since 2002 including active deployments in Turkey. The company operates with approximately 10 employees following a 2022 management buyout by four staff members (David, Christophe, Laure, plus development personnel Reine, José, Julien); it was previously part of the Jfr-Consult group under President Jean-François Rey from 2015. Notable credentials include Galia Rang 1 ERP homologation (92% score, October 2015, one of only 5 certified in France as of June 2016), 65-70% MMOG/LE best-practice coverage, Qualiopi training certification (AFNOR, 2025), and named enterprise customers including Mahle, Frisquet, Defi Group, Optimas, and April.
