Cezam Occitanie

What Cezam Occitanie does

Cezam Occitanie is a regional antenna (Montauban-based) of Cezam, a French social-economy cooperative (Cezam Union d'Economie Sociale SARL) headquartered in Paris that operates the country's first network of cooperation between CSE (Comité Social et Économique) elected officials. Founded on a 1967 mutualization initiative with the Cezam card launched in 1988, the network has grown to 22 regional physical antennas across 10+ French regions, governed by 500+ volunteer elected officials via the Fédération des Inter-CE (formed 2006) and the central UES Cezam entity (formed 2002 following separation from CFDT).

The platform offers CSE committees a vertically integrated suite: training (60+ inter-enterprise and customized intra-enterprise programs covering CSE missions, health/safety, and professional development); administrative support (secretariat, accounting, meeting-minutes drafting, communication, IT consulting); software tools including a 100% online ticketing platform with ASC subsidy management and turnkey CSE website creation; ticketing and benefits access (200,000+ discounted offers across cinemas, parks, shows, museums, travel, and gift cards via the Cezam card and the Ma Carte Cezam iOS/Android mobile app); group travel and stays; and cultural programming (Prix du Roman, Prix de la BD, Festival du Film, year-end spectacles). Underlying technology is a web platform (cezam.fr) consolidated in 2019 with a mobile app, e-ticket system with €1 management fees for instant delivery, and co-developed insurance products with MAIF.

Cezam monetizes through multiple streams: per-seat training fees (€300–€484/stagiaire/day for inter-enterprise; €1,450–€1,840/day for intra-enterprise), unit-priced administrative accompaniment services, transactional fees on ticketing (the €1 e-ticket management fee plus margin on discounted partner tickets), and revenue share from the MAIF insurance partnership attached to the card. Pricing for the consumer-facing Club Vie Pratique subscription is €1/year. Customer segments include CSE committees in both <50 and >50-employee French companies, TPE-PME without internal CSE capacity, COS-CAS associations, and labor unions (e.g., CFDT Cheminots); named enterprise accounts span social housing (Angers Loire Habitat), energy (EDF CMCAS), retail (Castorama), and transportation unions. The 1-10 employee headcount for the Cezam Occitanie entity reflects the regional-antenna model, with the network as a whole coordinated centrally through UES Cezam in Paris.
