What Docapost-Fast does

Docapost-Fast operates the FAST Solutions business, a cloud-based SaaS platform purpose-built for the digital transformation of the French local public sector. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Paris, the company is structured as a Société Anonyme with EUR 2,263,784 in registered capital and operates as a brand within Docaposte, the digital services subsidiary of La Poste Group. Its platform delivers more than 15 modular solutions organized into five families: transmission intermediaries to the State (FAST-Actes, FAST-Hélios, FAST-Échanges), software tools (FAST-Parapheur for electronic signature, FAST-Courrier by Maarch for mail management, FAST-Élus for elected-official convocation), AI-driven solutions (FAST-PubliAct, FAST-Voxia), family and education services (FAST-Famille, FAST-Enfance, FAST-Petite-Enfance, FAST-RPE), and group solutions (FAST-Coffre-Fort Électronique, electronic voting). The technical stack is multi-channel — web portal, native iOS and Android applications, and web services API — and integrates with complementary partners such as Arawak/Kolok Courrier, Operis for urban planning, and Maarch for GEC.

The company's commercial offering combines subscription-based SaaS access to the FAST platform with bundled professional services covering organization consulting, change management, training, hotline, and ongoing technical support. GTM is led by enterprise field sales targeting French municipalities, public establishments, and healthcare organizations, supported by a content-driven marketing program (webinars, white papers, newsletters) and a developing channel partner network. Revenue mechanics are subscription-recurring augmented by professional services engagements, with quote-based (non-publicly disclosed) enterprise pricing. Selected customer references are limited to generalized descriptions of French local government and public healthcare establishments, indicating a distributed long tail of municipal accounts rather than a few large named logos. Headcount stands at 34, reflecting a focused specialist team within a much larger parent group that provides distribution scale, brand trust, and capital backing across the French public sector.

Direct peers

• Yousign: French and European e-signature SaaS provider offering electronic signature workflows to businesses and public organizations. Directly comparable to FAST-Parapheur, with similar API-first delivery and a focus on regulated signatures in France.
• Universign: France-based certified electronic signature and digital trust services provider, now within the Docaposte ecosystem. Closely comparable to FAST-Parapheur for French public-sector and enterprise signature use cases, and a sibling rather than a third-party competitor.
• Berger-Levrault: Major French software vendor serving local authorities, public establishments, and healthcare with HR, finance, and administrative management suites. Comparable as a direct competitor in the collectivités and établissements publics IT modernization market.
• Siladoc (Arkhineo): French electronic safe / long-term document archiving SaaS provider focused on legal-value document retention. Directly comparable to FAST-Coffre-Fort Electronique for archival and compliant document storage use cases.
• AR24 (Bertin Nahum / Septeo group): France-based certified electronic signature service provider used by public and private organizations. Comparable to FAST-Parapheur, particularly for small and mid-sized French municipalities seeking simpler e-signature deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Tessi (now part of ADP): European business process services and document management vendor active in France with secure document exchange and dematerialization offerings. Overlaps with FAST-Échanges and FAST-Courrier from a document workflow perspective.
• Inetum (formerly GFI Informatique): French-headquartered IT services group with a dedicated public-sector vertical offering digital administration, HR, and document solutions. Comparable as a broader incumbent competing for the same French local government transformation deals.
• Sopra Steria: Large European IT services and software group with a significant French public sector practice, including digital administration and document management engagements. Comparable at the broader level as an incumbent systems integrator competing for the same municipal digital transformation budgets.
• Capgemini: Global IT services firm with a large French public-sector practice delivering digital government and citizen services transformations. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes for large municipal and public-sector modernization contracts.
