SIS : Sevme Informatique et Services

What SIS : Sevme Informatique et Services does

SIS (Sevme Informatique et Services) is a French worker cooperative (Société coopérative ouvrière de production, SCOP) founded circa 1970 and headquartered in Aubagne, near Marseille. The company designs, manufactures, and maintains embedded, communicating, ATEX-certified, low-power electronic systems for monitoring energy networks, with a particular focus on gas distribution and transmission infrastructure. Its core product portfolio is organized into three solution categories: Smart Metering (ENVOL gas volume corrector with SESAME operating software), Smart Grid (TAIGA RTU and Gecko connected devices with SiScada supervision software), and Cathodic Protection Monitoring (GAÏA standalone station). SIS also operates as a COFRAC-accredited body (n° 3-1392) for periodic verification of gas volume conversion devices, providing recurring legal metrology services.

SIS serves a small set of large enterprise clients in the French gas value chain, including GRDF (gas distribution), GRTgaz (gas transmission), Primagaz (LPG distribution), and Teréga (gas infrastructure). Its installed footprint extends to 3 of the 5 largest European gas networks via the TAIGA RTU, and customers collectively monitor over 100,000 kilometers of pipelines. The company is a member of the WIZE Alliance (since 2020), which provides access to IoT network infrastructure in 500+ cities across 15 countries.

The business model is enterprise sales-led with three revenue streams: hardware sales of embedded electronic systems (ENVOL, TAIGA, GAÏA), recurring legal metrology verification services, and installation/maintenance delivered through certified partners across France. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed; contracts are multi-year. The company is structured as a SCOP, meaning employees are member-owners with governance participation, which inherently limits external capital and influences growth pace. Total headcount is 14 employees, and the company holds ISO 9001, ATEX, COFRAC, and LNE certifications, plus an EcoVadis Silver Medal (2021) for CSR.
