Siqual

What Siqual does

Siqual is a privately held French IT services company founded in 2012 by Maxime Houx and headquartered in Le Petit-Quevilly, in the Rouen metropolitan area. It operates four service lines organized into three internal teams: Gestion des Systèmes d'Information (GSI) for outsourced IT infrastructure management, Odoo ERP integration and hosting, and custom web application development, with cybersecurity and compliance (penetration testing, ISO 27001, GDPR/RGPD, awareness training) cross-cutting the portfolio. The firm employs 23 staff, including 7 GSI technicians and 6 Odoo developers, and serves small and mid-sized businesses primarily in Normandy (Rouen, Le Havre, Evreux, Caen, Dieppe) and Paris.

Technology is conventional but reasonably broad: PHP/Symfony and React/Vue.js for custom web work, Python on Odoo, certified partnerships with Microsoft, ESET, Sophos, Datacore, and Odoo, and a proprietary SIQUAL RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management) platform used to monitor client infrastructure. Core products include hosted Odoo (Community and Enterprise editions with publicly listed subscription pricing of €59/month for TPE and €99/month for PME/ETI), web hosting, backup and disaster recovery, penetration testing, and managed security services.

Revenue mechanics combine recurring managed services (annual GSI contracts, Odoo hosting subscriptions), project-based professional services (custom development, ERP implementation, cybersecurity projects), and hardware/software resale. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, with a commercial team conducting on-site visits across Normandy and Paris, supplemented by inbound leads via the website, contact forms, a phone hotline, and content marketing through the company blog. Notable customers include Métropole Rouen Normandie, SEALOGIS, TDS Groupe, CAUE de la Seine-Maritime, Cabinet Saint Vincent, and Egitec; the company has been endorsed by Région Normandie as a trusted cybersecurity provider via the Normandie Cyber initiative. The 2022 divestiture of its SIRH software to SILAE narrowed product scope to IT services, ERP, cybersecurity, and custom development.
