Easy Print

What Easy Print does

Easy Print is a privately-held French software company founded in 2000, headquartered in Créteil with commercial offices in Égly, that designs, develops and publishes two proprietary product lines for enterprise document printing and dematerialization: Multix Pdf Shaker, an intelligent Windows print driver that adds electronic forms, letterheads, tray calls, CGV, OMR and one-click PDF dematerialization to business applications; and HotDir, a composition, distribution and dematerialization engine for high-volume Unix, AS/400 and Mainframe environments that automates delivery to printers, e-mail, FTP, PDF and a web document portal. All software is developed in-house, which the company cites as the basis for its near-100% availability track record and its positioning as a reference product in enterprise print and forms processing.

The company operates a B2B sales-led model with a channel-first distribution approach: its distributors include some of the largest print system manufacturers, supplemented by a broad network of SSII (systems integrators) and resellers covering the French market. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time software licensing (Pdf Shaker, HotDir light) and recurring maintenance / subscription contracts on multi-year cycles, with the latter gated behind support contracts that include a dedicated support portal and remote maintenance sessions. Customer segments span eleven verticals — PME-PMI, Grands Groupes, Transports, Industrie, Logistique, Automobile, Banque/Assurance, Santé, Tertiaire, Distribution, and Administrations/Collectivités — with publicly named enterprise references including the PSA-Peugeot-Citroën dealer network and Groupe Métain, and references to deployments ranging from single-workstation SMEs to environments with tens of thousands of workstations and thousands of servers processing close to a billion pages per month in logistics use cases.

Easy Print describes itself as a 'société à taille humaine' (human-sized company), indicating a deliberately small organization that relies on channel partners and productized vertical templates to scale reach beyond its internal headcount. Operating geographies are centered on France with European footprint referenced through its industrial customer base, and there is no evidence of external funding, M&A, or leadership turnover in the available material.
