What 6tematik does

6tematik is an independent French digital agency founded in 2004 and headquartered in Romans-sur-Isère (Drôme), with a second office in Lyon's Part-Dieu district. The firm operates as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) under founder-CEO Samuel BARBOSA and delivers end-to-end digital transformation services to industrial, retail/distribution, and public-sector clients, with a stated cumulative client base of 115 across 20+ years.

The agency's core service offerings span e-commerce platform creation and migration (Magento/Adobe Commerce, Shopify, PrestaShop, WooCommerce), PIM and data governance via Akeneo (including 50,000+ product catalog integration at Bülte and 90+ regulatory attributes at RCI), custom API development for ERP integrations (Cegid, SAP), UX/UI design, web and mobile application development, SEO/SEA, accessibility (RGAA) and eco-design compliance, and managed cloud hosting on Upsun/Platform.sh. A differentiated offering is the 'Site Factory' (Usine à sites) multi-site CMS for local governments, enabling deployment of multiple municipal websites from a single instance. The technology stack is multi-platform rather than proprietary — 6tematik assembles and integrates best-of-breed tools (Akeneo, Algolia, Quick FDS, Brevo, Cegid, SAP) rather than building its own platform.

Revenue is generated through project-based and multi-year retainer engagements typical of professional services, with bespoke quotes rather than public pricing. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, driven by content marketing (blog, case studies, monthly newsletter), organic SEO, and regional proximity to clients in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Key reference clients include Fareva, Samse, Trigano, Techné, RCI, Bülte, Seamaid, and municipal bodies such as Romans-sur-Isère, Val d'Europe Agglomération, and Grand Besançon Métropole. No external funding, M&A activity, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

Others

• Algolia: AI search and discovery platform used by 6tematik across client e-commerce sites (Techné, Bülte). As a technology partner rather than competitor, Algolia's roadmap and pricing directly affect 6tematik's delivery economics on Algolia-based deployments.
• Akeneo: Product Information Management (PIM) platform vendor headquartered in France. While not a direct competitor, Akeneo is the core technology partner underpinning 6tematik's PIM practice (deployed at Techné, Seamaid, Bülte, RCI), making ecosystem shifts a critical dependency.
