RFS

What RFS does

RFS Consultants is a privately held French IT consulting firm headquartered in Neuville-Saint-Rémy (Hauts-de-France), operating since 1995 and serving primarily PME (small and medium enterprises) and TPE (very small enterprises) that lack the resources to employ full-time IT staff. The company delivers a portfolio of advisory, implementation, and outsourced IT management services — including infogérance (delegated IT direction), network and security setup, security diagnostics, custom software development, technology watch, and in-company training — alongside two proprietary software products: FelSoft, an integrated commercial management and traceability application tailored to cooperatives, traders, and packers in the Fruits, Vegetables, and Potato sectors; and Sextant, a configurable administrative management suite with CRM, electronic document management (GED), workflow, and office-tool integration. A third proprietary product, RFS Backup, provides automated online backup.

The business model is multi-stream: professional services (consulting, custom development, training) billed per engagement; managed services (infogérance) typically structured as annual or multi-year retainers; and recurring software licensing for FelSoft, Sextant, and RFS Backup, deployable as single-user, network, or SaaS. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on the company website, downloadable product brochures, phone/email contact, and referral flow from a partner network of resellers and technology vendors — EBP (management software), MailInBlack (antispam), Ontrack (data recovery), and WithSecure (antivirus). Operational support is provided through AnyDesk for remote support sessions, Stripe for online invoice payment, and OVH-hosted web infrastructure.

RFS is a micro-entity by scale, with five employees and a share capital of €5,000, operating exclusively within a single French region (Hauts-de-France) and serving a fragmented base of small businesses across verticals including industry, health, agro-food, services, and tertiary. No parent company, institutional investors, external funding rounds, or public listing are disclosed; the firm appears to be independently owned by founding principals.
