Carte Blanche Conseil

What Carte Blanche Conseil does

Carte Blanche Conseil (CarteBlanche Conseil S.A.S.) is a Paris-based French consulting firm specializing in digital mobility services and location intelligence. Founded in 1985 (with its current brand and website formalized in 2023), the company operates with 1-10 employees and is structured as an S.A.S. with registered capital of €310,767.32 under RCS Paris 332 505 999. Its offerings span five interconnected service lines: digital mobility services (ITS, MaaS, multimodal information systems, traveler information), Location Intelligence (POI database management, geomarketing, catchment area analysis, geotargeting), Prototyping and Integrated Systems (concept validation and integration for parking management and real-time traveler information), Studies and Consulting (feasibility, market studies, data sourcing, training), and Project Support (AMO assistance, procurement, contract negotiation).

Technically, CBC's work centers on Floating Car Data (FCD) — vehicle telemetry streams covering position, speed, direction, acceleration, braking and event detection — used for real-time traffic information, congestion warnings, travel-time analysis, and GDPR-compliant anonymization. It also builds and curates POI databases and produces geomarketing analyses for point-of-sale network optimization. The firm positions capital independence and neutrality as core to its value proposition, particularly for public-sector procurement contexts.

Commercially, CBC operates a pure professional-services model, generating revenue from project-based consulting and AMO engagements with French territorial authorities (notably Région Grand Est since 2017) and private enterprises. It reaches customers through direct outreach, referrals, public procurement (appels d'offres), and thought-leadership content (LinkedIn, industry articles). The company has extended its footprint to Switzerland through a 2025 pilot partnership with the Federal Roads Office (OFROU) for real-time congestion warnings, indicating cautious, expertise-led geographic expansion.

Direct peers

• INRIX: US-headquartered traffic data and analytics company that processes Floating Car Data (FCD) and related vehicle sensor feeds to deliver traffic intelligence. Direct overlap with CBC's FCD processing and traffic management consulting core, though INRIX operates as a global productized platform.
• PTV Group: German transportation planning software and consulting firm offering ITS, traffic management, and mobility modeling services to public authorities. Highly comparable to CBC's mobility consulting and AMO work, though at significantly larger scale and with a productized software suite.
• Geoconcept (Altares Group): French geomarketing and location intelligence software vendor with POI database management, territorial analysis, and optimization tools. Direct overlap with CBC's Location Intelligence and POI database service line, especially for French enterprise and public-sector buyers.
• Mediamobile: French traffic information services provider (part of TDF Group) operating FCD-based real-time traffic products across France. Closest French geographic peer to CBC's FCD and traffic consulting practice, though Mediamobile focuses on B2C/B2B information distribution rather than AMO consulting.

Emerging players

• Padam Mobility: French MaaS platform provider serving public transit authorities and operators with on-demand transport and multimodal information software. Overlaps with CBC's multimodal information system (SIM) and MaaS consulting engagements, especially for regional government clients in France.

Broad incumbents

• HERE Technologies: Global location intelligence and mapping platform serving automotive, logistics, and public-sector mobility clients. Comparable to CBC's location intelligence and geomarketing work, with substantially broader data assets and enterprise reach.
• Cityway (Transdev): French multimodal journey planner and passenger information system provider within the Transdev group. Comparable to CBC's multimodal information system (SIM) consulting practice, particularly for transit authorities, but at larger scale with an established software product.
• Coyote (Norauto Group): French telematics and connected mobility services company providing GPS, traffic information, and fleet solutions. Adjacent to CBC's telematics-adjacent consulting practice with deep FCD expertise, though operating as a commercial B2B/B2C service rather than a consultancy.
