B2C Consulting

What B2C Consulting does

B2C Consulting is a Belgian private limited company (B²C Consulting SRL) operating as the staffing and consulting arm of B2C Group, founded in 2014 in Wallonia by Charles Costa, Jean-Christophe Bulon, and Benjamin Beaurang. The firm provides specialized industrial consultants deployed on client sites in Belgium and across Europe, organized around five core competency areas: Automation (PLCs, DCS, supervision, Industry 4.0 migration), Industrial Data (industrial networks, computer systems design and programming), Electricity (electrical studies, feasibility, supervision), Quality (qualification, validation, continuous improvement) and Project Management. An OT cybersecurity consulting line is delivered in partnership with sister company B2C Engineering.

The company's underlying technology stack is its consultant pool rather than a software product. B2C sources and supports consultants through its proprietary B2C Touch recruitment methodology and a structured consultant development program with weekly, monthly and quarterly review cadences. Core technology alliances with Siemens (PCS7, TIA Portal), AVEVA (MES, System Platform, PI System), Stormshield, Darktrace and AUVESY-MDT position B2C as a preferred implementer on the dominant industrial software platforms used across pharma, F&B, chemicals, aerospace and cosmetics. VCA-Petrochemical certification and GDPR compliance underpin eligibility for regulated industrial environments.

B2C makes money through quote-based professional services engagements, with assignments typically running six months to two years. Revenue is generated by deploying consultants directly at enterprise client sites, supported by a direct enterprise field-sales motion and event-driven demand generation via annual Solutions Days across Namur, Valenciennes and Lyon. Marquee customers include Danone, L'Oréal, Catalent, GSK, UCB, Takeda, Solvay, Framatome, Sonaca, Goodyear, Mondelez, Bio-Rad and Lesaffre. Approximately 50% of projects sit in the pharmaceutical sector, and B2C Group operates five European offices with a sixth planned in Switzerland.
