Gedeas

What Gedeas does

Gedeas is a French Entreprise Adaptée (Adapted Enterprise) operating as a private Social and Solidarity Economy company, headquartered in Saint-Aunès near Montpellier (Occitanie) and serving clients across France. Legally required to employ at least 55% people with disabilities, Gedeas delivers B2B services to French companies subject to the OETH (Obligation d'Emploi des Travailleurs Handicapés) disability-employment framework, with explicit dual targeting of grands-comptes (large enterprises) and mid-market/SME accounts. The portfolio is organized into three poles: OETH Optimization (regulatory structuring, DOETH/DSN analysis, contribution modeling), Pôle Externalisation (outsourced administrative services—medical visit management via the proprietary Mediviso platform, professional training administration, alternant file management, candidate processing, data/file processing, and document archiving), and Pôle QVT/Handicap (STPA purchase attestation collection and analysis to unlock OETH deductions, plus RQTH administrative accompaniment). The Ethand'Art sub-brand is an artistic awareness program launched in 2019 that commissions disability-themed artworks from a collective of artists.

Revenue is generated through professional-services engagements priced per dossier or as annual/multi-year contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company claims a 30% cost reduction vs. in-house medical visit management, with up to 30% of service cost additionally deductible from client OETH contributions, and reports recovery of up to 33% additional STPA purchase attestations. Go-to-market combines consultative direct B2B sales (website contact form, phone, on-site diagnostics), trade show presence (Salon du Handicap et des Achats Responsables in Paris), content marketing via gedeas.fr, OPCO referral partnerships for training administration, and event-based marketing partnerships (e.g., Les Bacchantes Montpellier).

Cumulative operating scale includes 300+ client organizations spanning SMEs, associations, local authorities (collectivités), and multi-sector enterprise accounts (banking, retail, sports clubs, construction, energy, public sector). Reported operational metrics include 20,000+ medical visits managed since 2013, ~100,000 archiving files processed since 2015, and a 9/10 client satisfaction/NPS score for 2025. Leadership is held by Lilian Pitault (Directeur de la publication et DPO), with no external investors or parent company disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• BDO France: International consulting and BPO network with French HR advisory practice offering OETH, DOETH, and disability-policy advisory. Competes with Gedeas's consulting line, albeit more advisory- than operations-focused.
• Ceridian Dayforce: International HCM/PEO platform (including Dayforce) serving France. Comparable where it competes for the same employer-budget allocated to compliance and workforce administration, particularly with embedded regulatory reporting features.
• Manpower France: One of France's largest general staffing firms with dedicated disability/inclusion programs (e.g., ManpowerGroup Inclusion). Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for the same OETH-mandated employers, with much wider scale and enterprise reach than Gedeas.
• Randstad France: Large French staffing and HR services incumbent with disability-inclusion initiatives. Competes for the same OETH-subject enterprise buyers and adjacent administrative outsourcing budgets.
• ADP France: Global PEO/HR-outsourcing leader with significant French footprint (PEO/RH en France). Comparable for outsourced employer-of-record, payroll-adjacent, and HR-compliance work that competes with Gedeas's outsourcing pole.
• Adecco France: Major French staffing and HR solutions provider (Adecco Inclusion / Hanploi) addressing OETH-driven demand for sourcing disabled workers. Overlaps with Gedeas on disability-employment staffing and administrative outsourcing verticals.

Regional players

• SD Worx: Benelux-headquartered HR, payroll, and workforce solutions provider with French operations. Comparable as an HR-outsourcing incumbent operating in France that competes for administrative outsourcing work similar to Gedeas's Pôle Externalisation.
• Docaposte: La Poste Group's French BPO arm providing document management, archiving, and data-entry services. Direct overlap with Gedeas's archiving and file-processing services (cumulatively ~100,000 files since 2015).

Direct peers

• APF Entreprises: Largest French network of adapted enterprises providing disabled-worker staffing and administrative outsourcing. Most direct comparator to Gedeas given overlapping Entreprise Adaptée status, multi-sector service portfolio, and OETH-aligned offering.

Others

Comparable in that GESAT provides STPA attestation valorization services that directly overlap with Gedeas's purchase certificate collection/analysis line — a partner, supplier, or partial competitor depending on go-to-market.
