What iQanto does

iQanto is a French industrial digital transformation company and a subsidiary of Groupe Snef, launched in 2023 through the convergence of several Group digital and industrial entities (Mangrove, Mach, and iAGO, acquired during 2022–2023). Headquartered at 87 Avenue Ibrahim Ali in Marseille with an agency in Lyon, it serves small and mid-sized industrial companies (SMEs, SMIs, and ETIs) across France and Europe, positioning itself as a B2B technology partner that bridges operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Its stated mission, articulated by General Manager William Joly, is to be a benchmark technology partner for digital industrial performance optimization.

The company delivers a broad portfolio of service domains and proprietary products spanning IoT, digital twins, edge computing, cloud (AWS-based), robotics, artificial intelligence and generative AI, cybersecurity, UX/UI design, and custom software. Proprietary branded products include Lisa HA (a plug-and-play, high-availability industrial connectivity solution with redundant architecture, LoRaWAN integration, and strict OT/IT separation), iQ BOX and CASIP (industrial edge computing hardware and a C++-based edge platform), iQ HiO (an intelligent humanoid operator for intralogistics and material handling), and iQ ASSISTANT (a custom generative AI assistant). Its core technology combines OT/IT integration with IoT, AI, cloud, edge computing, robotics, and cybersecurity, delivered with sector-specific certifications including PASSI (ANSSI), nuclear, and electrical.

iQanto's business model is services-led and project-based. Revenue is generated through professional services (consulting, diagnostics, IoT and robotics integration, cybersecurity audits, and custom software) and technology solution sales (IoT infrastructure, edge hardware, robotics, digital twin platforms). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, structured around tailored engagements such as the DIAG 360° program (a 6-to-8-week structured consulting engagement). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales using a consultative approach with domain experts, reaching decision-makers through industry events, its website, and 'Request a quote' contact forms, and emphasizing long-term client partnerships.
