What Martin3D does

Martin3D is a privately-held French consulting, training, and software firm specializing in industrial vehicle bodywork (carrosserie industrielle), founded in 2006 by Bruno Martin and headquartered in Mayenne, France. The company serves French industrial coachbuilders, utility vehicle modifiers, and trailer/semi-trailer manufacturers with a vertically-integrated offering that combines training (Qualified Operator certification, ISO 9001 implementation, Aménageur VUL certification), regulatory monitoring subscriptions, homologation consulting, internal audits, and two proprietary software products: Tab Control (a tablet application for regulatory control and technical dossier generation covering Annexes II, VII, VIII, IX and X) and TrailerWIN (desktop load distribution and engineering calculation software with optional modules for crane stability, sub-chassis analysis, turning radius, and braking curves). Martin3D holds ISO 9001 V2015 (N° SQ/2054A-3) and Qualiopi certifications, operates as an authorized UTAC coordination partner, and reports 100% qualification success rate and 100% subscription retention among its qualified-operator clients.

The business model blends professional services (quote-based training, on-site consulting, homologation support, audit, and calibration), recurring subscriptions (annual regulatory monitoring database access with automatic alerts), and one-time software licensing (TrailerWIN standalone and multi-user versions delivered on CD or USB with annual updates). Pricing is largely quote-based; calibration services are unit-priced at €75-€120 HT depending on capacity and location; training is OPCO-funded through Qualiopi eligibility. Distribution is entirely direct — trainers and technicians travel on-site throughout France — with no resellers or digital self-serve channels.

The company employs 1-10 people, including founder Bruno Martin plus commercial and training staff (Isabelle Casanova for software, Sylvie Richard for training, Baptiste André for studies/homologation, trainer Augustin Schultz). The firm is founder-owned, has never raised external capital, has no subsidiaries, and operates exclusively in France. Customer base consists of SMB industrial coachbuilders (Maxi Cargo, MOREL Frères, LVT Barthe, Carrosserie Pioger, Carrosserie Dufils, and others), with one vocational education account and one enterprise account (Vrac PLUS) visible.
