What dDruid does

dDruid is a French software publisher founded in 2019 and headquartered in Schiltigheim (Alsace region), built around "IoT magic Builder," a no-code Industrial IoT (IIoT) platform. The platform enables B2B customers — primarily industrial equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and service providers — to design, configure and deploy connected services and IoT applications without programming. Its modular architecture includes hypervision (protocol-agnostic data collection across sensors, PLCs and SCADA), a visual no-code App Builder for dashboards and workflows, data enrichment tools (KPIs, alerts, predictive analytics), and deployment industrialization modules, plus dedicated tooling for EU Data Act compliance. Headcount is approximately 15 collaborators.

The business model rests on usage-based SaaS subscriptions billed monthly on data volume processed, with no upfront license cost, supplemented by professional services (IoT consulting, configuration, integration, training, multi-year support contracts). Distribution combines direct enterprise sales — demo-led, supported by weekly live webinars and a "druides" expert deployment team — with a two-tier partner ecosystem: technology/integration partners (CRM vendor Divalto, automation specialist Softing, IP/connectivity providers Orange, Vodafone, NTT Transatel, LoRa Alliance, HMS, Adeunis, Wi6Labs, VEGA) and channel/reseller partners, augmented by a white-label mode that lets partners rebrand the platform for their end customers. Marketing relies on content-led assets (ROI simulator, requirements template, servitization whitepaper, active blog) and a trade-show circuit spanning SIDO Lyon, Global Industrie, Advanced Factories (Barcelona), IBS, Be 5.0 and C!Print.

Key differentiators include sovereign French hosting in Tier IV data centers with HDS and ISO 27001 certifications, a stated 12x faster deployment than typical IIoT projects, and a business-user-oriented no-code UX that reduces dependency on in-house developers. The company references ~3,500 deployed sites and over 1 billion datapoints processed monthly, supporting customer cases such as Socomec (predictive/preventive maintenance on electrical equipment) and Endrotek (energy management service launch). Geographic reach is concentrated in France with European extension; no external funding rounds are disclosed in the available data.
