What Yumea does

Yumea is a Lyon, France-based private agency that designs and delivers custom AI-powered business tools, dashboards, automations, and Progressive Web Applications for French SMEs. Founded in 2000 under the legal name Yumea / HTTP5000 and led by publication director Maximilien, the company began as a traditional communications agency offering printing, graphic design, web development, and social media management before pivoting into AI tooling. It currently has 10 AI applications in production, including a Restaurant Analytics Dashboard for Kajiro Sushi aggregating 7 locations via the Zelty POS API, a Museum Ticketing Dashboard for Le Petit Musée du Vin integrating Smeetz and weather data, an AI Recruiting & Training PWA for Kajiro Sushi's 50 staff, a multi-tenant HR SaaS for hospitality brand Tsuno, a vineyard traceability PWA for Domaine Bugnazet, and a self-hosted Medusa v2 e-commerce site for Maison Bugnazet that replaces Shopify.

Underlying technology combines a modern web stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Astro 5, Flutter for iOS/Android, Strapi headless CMS, PWA architecture) with third-party AI services, principally Anthropic's Claude for NLP and generative tasks, alongside the Web Speech API for text-to-speech. Hosting is built on Hetzner infrastructure fronted by Cloudflare, with Supabase as the backend for offline-first mobile apps. Core integrations span Zelty (POS), Smeetz (ticketing), Stripe (payments), Boxtal (shipping), Rentila (property management), and Google APIs.

Yumea generates revenue through a one-time setup fee of €390 excl. VAT, a no-commitment monthly subscription of €49 for hosting and maintenance, an annual subscription of €390 (a 34% discount), and hourly professional services at €90/hr for corrective maintenance and €110/hr for enhancements. AI API costs are passed through to the client. Distribution is entirely direct-to-client via a Calendly consultation funnel, supported by a content blog, LinkedIn, Instagram, SEO, and occasional event support such as the October 2024 Franchise Forum in Lyon. Customer concentration sits primarily in hospitality (Kajiro Sushi, Tsuno, Le Cèdre Bleu) and viticulture (Maison/Domaine Bugnazet, Le Petit Musée du Vin), with additional reach into education, real estate, and non-profit segments.

Broad incumbents

• Wix: Global DIY website builder targeting SMEs. Broad incumbent in the same SME website/e-commerce space Yumea competes in, though Yumea positions against the vendor lock-in Wix and Shopify-style platforms create.
• Webflow: No-code website and CMS platform widely used by agencies and SMEs. Adjacent competitor in the SME web/CMS build space, offering productized templates that compete with Yumea's custom build model.

Regional players

• Eskimoz: Paris-based digital marketing and web agency serving French SMEs with SEO, web development and content services. Comparable in being a French full-service digital agency, though more focused on SEO than AI tooling.
• Doctrine.fr: French legal tech company that builds custom web products and open-data tools using modern engineering practices. Comparable as a French technology firm with a similar custom-tool ethos, though focused on the legal vertical rather than cross-vertical SME AI tools.
• OpenStudio: Lyon-based digital agency with web development and design services for French SMEs and institutions. Direct regional competitor — same geography, similar SME target, overlapping service portfolio (web, design, custom tools).

Emerging players

• LightOn: French enterprise AI platform providing proprietary LLM and AI application tools for businesses. Comparable as a French AI-focused firm, though LightOn operates at a much larger enterprise scale versus Yumea's SME focus.
• Retool: Low-code platform for building internal dashboards and business tools. Comparable in enabling the dashboard/automation use case Yumea delivers, but as a self-serve productized platform rather than bespoke services.
• Indy (indy.fr): French SaaS platform targeting freelancers and SMEs with accounting, invoicing and business administration tools. Comparable as a French SaaS targeting SMEs with automation/dashboard functionality, but a horizontal product vs Yumea's bespoke vertical tooling.

Others

• Alsajee Digital Agency: Small-scale digital agency offering web development and AI-powered automation tools. Comparable in combining custom web/AI services for SMEs, though not specifically French-market focused.
• The Family: French startup ecosystem/agency that supports European founders with education, tools and infrastructure. Adjacent ecosystem participant — not a direct competitor, but operates in the French SME/startup tooling space Yumea targets.
