What Agence LAFAB does

Agence LAFAB is a privately held French software company (LAFAB SAS) headquartered in Saint-Raphaël, founded in 2002, operating a single-product vertical SaaS platform called MyLabTools targeted at Anatomie et Cytologie Pathologiques (ACP) laboratories in France and its overseas territories. The platform is organized around three dedicated workspaces for patients, prescribers, and collaborators, and bundles 18+ modules covering digital fee-note delivery, secure online payment, SMS notifications (claimed to be 6x cheaper than postal reminders), electronic health insurance claim (FSE) data collection, prescriber account management and equipment ordering, results-server interfaces, extemporaneous exam booking, molecular test tracking, centralized anapath doctor scheduling, an exam distribution algorithm, document libraries with access control, recruitment management, real-time traffic statistics, news publishing, and online satisfaction surveys.

The technical stack is a web-based SaaS architecture hosted on infrastructure operated by sub-processors Scalingo SAS (primary application and database hosting, HDS v2-certified, French data centers in Magny-les-Hameaux, Pantin, and Aubergenville) and AWS (eu-west-3 Paris region for S3 storage and SFTP exchanges). All health data is hosted exclusively within the European Economic Area. The platform is differentiated primarily by regulatory posture: LAFAB holds dual ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and HDS (HDS:2024, all six activities) certifications audited by AFNOR, with renewal successfully validated in May 2025, and processes data under GDPR. LAFAB also serves as an ISO 15189 certification provider for laboratory compliance per its own newsletter content.

The business model is sales-led, recurring SaaS subscription billed annually on a quote-based (non-publicly disclosed) model. Commercial outreach is led by the President, Denis Wavrant, supported by a 13-person team including a Technical Director and RSSI, an Assistant RSSI, a Support Manager who is also the DPO, a Web Designer, and a Web Developer. LAFAB has no external institutional investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no subsidiaries; ownership appears concentrated with the Wavrant family (Denis Wavrant as President, Brigitte Wavrant as Web Designer). The company serves 80+ ACP laboratories across France and overseas territories, with named customer groups including Medipath (multiple sites), XPath (multiple sites), Ouest Pathologie, Amapath, CPMN, GRP, Laboratoire Cap, Payhologie 68, Armor Pathologie, Biopath OI, IHP La Rochelle, Atlantic Pathologie, SMB Path, Pathologie Hippocrate, CC Pathologie Alizés, Paris Cyto Pathologie, and Anapath Paris.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core infrastructure and accreditation body.

• Scalingo SAScore infrastructureTechnology or Integration · 1 April 2025Scalingo is the primary sub-processor and infrastructure host for LAFAB's MyLabTools platform. The company provides application hosting and database infrastructure for LAFAB, operating data centers in Magny-les-Hameaux, Pantin, and Aubergenville, France. Scalingo holds HDS v2 certification covering all six hosting activities. All health data processed through MyLabTools is hosted on Scalingo's cloud infrastructure within the European Economic Area.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS)core infrastructureTechnology or Integration · 1 April 2025AWS serves as a sub-processor for LAFAB, providing file and application media storage (S3 buckets) as well as SFTP server provision for data exchanges between MyLabTools and client laboratory information systems. AWS operates the eu-west-3 (Paris) region for LAFAB. While AWS holds HDS:2018 certification, it is subject to US legislation (CLOUD Act 2018, FISA Section 702), creating a documented residual risk that LAFAB discloses transparently in its HDS transparency mapping. LAFAB mitigates this risk through exclusive European data localization, encryption at rest and in transit, EU Data Processing Addendum, and AWS's commitment to contest disproportionate access requests.
• AFNOR Certificationaccreditation bodyOthersAFNOR serves as LAFAB's certification body for both ISO 27001:2022 and HDS certifications. LAFAB underwent successful renewal audits in May 2025 validated by AFNOR.

Broad incumbents

• Doctolib: Dominant French healthcare SaaS platform for appointment booking and patient/physician workflows. Comparable as a French healthcare SaaS model proving that deep vertical focus on healthcare workflows can scale nationally — though serving physicians rather than labs.
• CompuGroup Medical (CGM): Major European healthcare software vendor with laboratory information management and medical practice solutions across multiple European markets. Comparable as a larger incumbent offering laboratory IT suites that overlap with LAFAB's pathology lab workflow positioning.
• Dedalus: European healthcare IT vendor (Italy-headquartered) providing laboratory information systems, hospital, and regional health platforms across France. Comparable as a healthcare SaaS incumbent serving French laboratories and pathology workflows at much larger scale.
• Softway Medical: French healthcare IT vendor providing hospital information systems and laboratory software to French healthcare providers. Directly comparable as a French healthcare SaaS incumbent whose lab offerings overlap with MyLabTools' pathology-lab focus.
• Maincare Solutions: French healthcare IT vendor (part of Dedalus group) providing hospital information systems and lab solutions. Comparable as a French healthcare SaaS player serving laboratories and healthcare facilities with workflow software.

Direct peers

• MIPS: European laboratory middleware and clinical IT vendor (Netherlands) connecting medical instruments, LIS, and EHR systems. Comparable as a lab-specific software peer serving workflow and data integration needs of European pathology and clinical laboratories.
• Tribun Health (formerly TRIBVN Healthcare): French healthtech company specializing in digital pathology workflow, image management, and AI for pathology labs. Directly comparable as a French pathology-vertical software peer serving overlapping ACP laboratory customers.

Emerging players

• Lifen: French healthcare data exchange and document interoperability platform used by hospitals, labs, and physicians. Comparable as a French healthcare SaaS addressing the same regulated data-handling problem space for medical laboratories and prescribers.

Others

• Enovacom (Orange Business): French healthcare interoperability and data hosting subsidiary of Orange Business, serving hospitals and health-data exchange. Comparable as an adjacent French healthcare data infrastructure player competing for similar HDS-certified hosting and integration mandates.

Regional players

• Corilus: Belgian healthcare IT vendor providing laboratory and pharmacy software across Benelux and parts of Europe. Comparable as a regional lab-focused software peer with a similar European SMB/mid-market positioning.
