ABIX

What ABIX does

ABIX, legally CUC S.A., is a French business-to-business IT distributor operating an exclusively professional e-commerce platform at abix.fr under the "100% PRO" positioning. The company sells a broad catalogue of IT products — cables and connectors, computers, tablets, peripherals, components, networking and telecom equipment, storage, software, UPS systems, video surveillance, video projection, and vertical business solutions (VoIP, point-of-sale terminals, room booking, smart home, digital-school bundles) — to small and medium enterprises, large enterprises, public sector bodies, educational institutions, hospitality operators, and healthcare providers. Ordering is supported through a 24/7 web storefront as well as phone, email, fax, and an in-person pickup counter, with free-delivery thresholds that vary by channel (€140 HT web, €380 HT phone/email within France).

The platform is built on Magento and supplemented by a proprietary "Configurateur de Câble" that allows buyers to spec cables to custom requirements. Operations are anchored at the Buchelay headquarters in Mantes en Yvelines with a warehouse and pickup point in Rosny-sur-Seine; fulfilment reaches metropolitan France, DOM-TOM, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Germany. ABIX reports a 98% product availability rate and 24–48h delivery on stocked items, supported by a dedicated commercial team with account managers organised by customer vertical. Pricing is presented both HT (excl. VAT) and TTC (incl. VAT) on a unit-pricing basis, with regular promotions ("bons plans") and clearance ("déstockage") sections driving volume; example list prices span from €2.06 HT (RJ45 cables) to €9,370 HT (high-end UPS).

ABIX generates revenue through one-time product sales at unit pricing against transactional B2B customers; there are no disclosed recurring or subscription revenue streams, no public APIs, and no software-defined product surface. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of DCC plc, an international sales, marketing and support services group, which provides corporate financial backing. No public revenue, headcount, or funding figures are disclosed in the source material.
