Salvum

What Salvum does

Salvum is a French digital training company founded in 2014 that provides a SaaS e-learning platform focused on first aid, health prevention, and workplace safety training. The platform combines gamification with neuroscience-based pedagogy, offering 30+ training modules covering first aid certification (PSC1), workplace safety (SST), road risk prevention, and emerging topics such as women's health in the workplace, mental health, and QVCT (Quality of Working Life). The company serves four primary segments in France: enterprises (compliance-driven), insurance companies and mutuals (value-added member services), schools (K-12 under Ministry of Education partnership), and local authorities (public-safety population training).

The technology stack is built around a SCORM-compliant multi-device platform accessible via web, iOS, Android, and tablet, with synchronized progress tracking and an administrative back-office for user management, training statistics, and automated certificate/attestation generation that feeds into employer DUERP compliance documents. Content is developed in-house by cognitive psychologists and a professional firefighter, structured around 500 real-life scenarios and 2,500+ pedagogical feedback points to optimize retention. A mobile emergency response app includes victim geolocation and one-click emergency services calling. The company holds Qualiopi certification (mandatory for French training organizations), Habilitation SST for workplace first-aid training, ESUS social-utility enterprise status, and has signed two conventions with the French Ministry of Education since 2015.

Salvum operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales (with dedicated account executives and demo-driven CTAs), self-serve product-led growth through iOS/Android app stores, and a channel network of 100+ AASC partner associations and 5 federations that deliver practical certification training validating the digital modules. Revenue is generated primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions (single flat rate for unlimited module access), supplemented by practical in-person training coordination, webinars, and sales of physical and digital educational materials including the APS pedagogical kit. The company reports 1,696+ client organizations totaling 496,081+ trained users, with named enterprise customers spanning Allianz, BNP Paribas, Danone, VINCI, Accor, Renault, and multiple insurance mutuals. The company is headquartered in Serris, Île-de-France, operates as a private SAS, and is led by founder Pierre Sabin.

Scale indicators8 records

Broad incumbents

• Docebo: Global enterprise LMS that could host SCORM-formatted compliance content including safety/first-aid modules. Comparable as an LMS distribution channel and an indirect competitor that enterprise buyers may already use instead of Salvum's standalone subscription.
• INRS: The French national institute for occupational health and safety research and training, which sets SST standards and accredits training bodies. Comparable as a content authority and indirect competitor via its free reference material, but operates broadly across all workplace-risk topics rather than focused digital delivery.
• Skillsoft: Large compliance and corporate e-learning provider offering safety, HR compliance, and skill content to enterprises globally. Comparable in selling compliance-driven subscription training to large organizations and a credible alternative inside broader compliance bundles.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with a French training arm covering health, safety, and first-aid. Comparable in serving large multinational compliance buyers but competing as a broad incumbent rather than a focused digital product.
• Apave: French technical inspection, certification, and training group with a sizeable workplace safety and first-aid training portfolio. Comparable in addressing enterprise compliance buyers but bundles training with broader risk-management services, not a digital-first specialist.

Direct peers

• Croix-Rouge française: France's principal PSC1 first-aid training organization, delivering both digital preparation and certified in-person training across the country. Direct overlap with Salvum in the PSC1/blended first-aid training market and competing for the same enterprise and individual learners.
• AFTRAL: One of France's largest private training groups offering SST, PSC1, and broader workplace safety e-learning and in-person programs to enterprises. Directly comparable in target customer (HSE/HR decision-makers), product mix (e-learning + practical certification), and regulatory focus.
• Protection Civile: A leading French non-profit delivering PSC1 and emergency first-aid training nationwide. Operates a parallel network of local associations analogous to Salvum's AASC channel, making it the most direct distribution and certification competitor.

Emerging players

• Rise Up: French LMS / learning experience platform serving mid-market and enterprise compliance and onboarding needs. Comparable as a French-headquartered LMS that customers may select in place of Salvum's combined-content-plus-platform offering.
• 360Learning: French-founded collaborative learning platform increasingly used by enterprises for compliance and onboarding training. Comparable in addressing the French enterprise training buyer and adjacent use cases (compliance, regulatory training) but differentiates on collaborative course authoring.
