Smartest

What Smartest does

Smartest is an Algerian private PME founded in 2010 by three partners with prior experience at leading oilfield services companies. Headquartered in Cheraga, Algeria, with a headcount of 120+, the company operates as a digital solutions provider for demanding industrial sectors including oil & gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), renewable energy, electricity, mining, hydraulics, and automotive services.

The company's technology portfolio is structured around three pillars. First, ProdMan is a proprietary Production Data Management System (PDMS) that integrates upstream data from Schlumberger, Avcoet, and OFM, supports production allocation calculations, and delivers real-time dashboards for oil and gas field operations. A complementary real-time drilling operations monitoring product holds WITSML 1.4 certification from Energistics, placing Smartest 15th globally among certified platforms and making it the first Algerian company to develop Exploration & Production platforms. Second, Smartest is the first Gold Odoo partner in Algeria, delivering Odoo ERP implementations with full Algerian localization (accounting plan, IRG tax, CNAS/CACOBATH social contributions, COMEX import management, GPAO/GMAO manufacturing and maintenance modules) to SMEs and mid-market clients. Third, IT & Security services provide data protection, backup, virtualization, and cybersecurity solutions through a network of nine global technology vendor partnerships (Dell EMC, Fortinet, Sophos, VMware, Veeam, Red Hat, Commvault, Supermicro, Cisco).

The business model combines project-based professional services (digital transformation consulting, ERP implementation, O&G solution delivery), managed services (IT/security integration and support), and software licensing/implementation revenue (Odoo). Go-to-market is consultative, sales-led, and enterprise-oriented, with named enterprise customers including Sonatrach, Anadarko, Cepsa, PVTEP, and ALNAFT, alongside SME clients served through Odoo ERP deployments. Marketing is primarily driven through the company website (smartest.dz) acting as a digital storefront, with no consumer-facing advertising. Agile/Scrum methodologies underpin delivery across the project lifecycle.

Broad incumbents

• Infosys: Global IT services and consulting firm with oil and gas digital transformation offerings. Comparable to Smartest's enterprise field-sales and ERP/Industry 4.0 delivery, though at multinational scale.
• Wipro: Global IT services firm with a dedicated energy, natural resources and utilities vertical. Comparable to Smartest's enterprise IT services and digital transformation delivery at vastly larger scale.
• Aspen Technology (AspenTech): Industrial AI and optimization software for process industries including energy and chemicals. Comparable to Smartest's Industry 4.0, digital twin, and predictive analytics layer, but at global enterprise scale.
• AVEVA (formerly OSIsoft PI): Industrial data infrastructure and digital twin software for asset-intensive industries. Comparable to Smartest's real-time decision center and SCADA capabilities for oil and gas and broader Industry 4.0.
• P2 Energy Solutions: Provider of upstream oil and gas software for production, accounting, and land management. Comparable to Smartest's ProdMan PDMS suite but operates at significantly larger scale across global upstream operators.
• Capgemini: Global systems integrator with deep energy and utilities practice covering digital transformation and Industry 4.0. Comparable in capability to Smartest's full-stack IT services for industrial clients.
• Quorum Software: Energy-focused software suite covering upstream, midstream and downstream workflows. Competes with Smartest in digital oil and gas solutions but at global scale with a much broader product portfolio.

Direct peers

• Avcoet: Real-time drilling and production data platform used in upstream oil and gas. Directly comparable to Smartest's ProdMan PDMS and WITSML monitoring offering, though Smartest currently integrates with Avcoet as a data source rather than competing.

Regional players

• Alcomnet: Algerian IT services firm credited with building the Smartest website. Operates in the same domestic Algerian IT services market as Smartest, making it a relevant local peer despite narrower public footprint.
