SIVAN

What SIVAN does

SIVAN is a privately held French SaaS company that provides a workforce management and scheduling platform aimed at small and mid-sized service-sector businesses in France. The platform unifies eight functional modules — schedule creation, leave and absence management, time clock/attendance, multi-site management, HR and indicators, internal communication, payroll variable export, and an employee self-service portal — delivered via web and native iOS/Android applications. The offering is positioned as a vertical-specific solution, with deep coverage of pharmacy, healthcare, laboratories, retail, hospitality, restaurants, bakeries, beauty institutes, hair salons, fitness centers, and childcare facilities. Differentiators emphasized in the company's own materials include compliance with French collective agreements, automation of payroll variable transmission to dominant French payroll platforms (Silae, Payfit), and centralized management of multi-site operations.

The business model is a recurring SaaS subscription, priced per establishment/employee with multi-year contracts referenced in the general terms and conditions. Revenue is generated through a 15-day free trial funnel that converts via Calendly-scheduled demos, supplemented by direct sales for enterprise prospects and a partner/reseller program for channel-based distribution. Sivan also benefits from endorsement-style relationships with six major French pharmacy networks (Pharmavie, Giropharm, Alphega, Ipharm, Aprium, Upp), which collectively route independent pharmacies to the platform. The company is headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Île-de-France, with 27 employees and a customer base of over 1,000 paying clients across France. No external funding rounds, M&A activity, public listing, or institutional investors are disclosed in the available data.

Direct peers

• Skello: French SaaS workforce management and scheduling platform targeting hospitality, retail, and healthcare SMBs. Most direct French competitor to Sivan, with overlapping scheduling, time tracking, and payroll integration capabilities.
• Planday: European workforce management SaaS (Denmark, now part of Xero) focused on shift-based SMBs in retail, hospitality, and healthcare. Highly comparable PLG-style scheduling, time clock, and employee engagement offering.
• Deputy: Global workforce management SaaS for shift-based SMBs with scheduling, time tracking, and payroll integrations. Comparable PLG-led model targeting the same customer profile Sivan serves (multi-site service businesses).
• Timmi (Lycaeon): French time-tracking and workforce management solution focused on time and activity management for SMBs and mid-market. Directly overlaps Sivan's time clock and payroll variable modules.
• Kelio (Bodet): Established French workforce management solution from Bodet, offering scheduling, time & attendance, and HR modules to mid-market and enterprise customers across multiple verticals — directly overlapping Sivan's core feature set.
• Lucca: French HR SaaS suite covering time management, leave, expense, and HR modules. Competes with Sivan in French SMB HR-tech, particularly where buyers want broader HR scope beyond scheduling.

Broad incumbents

• ADP: Global HCM and workforce management leader with a French presence (ADP France). Competes for larger Sivan's customers and increasingly targets French SMBs with localized workforce and payroll suites.
• Cegid: Major French HR, payroll, and ERP software vendor with deep SMB/mid-market presence. While broader than Sivan, Cegid competes in the same French HR-tech buying cycle and could bundle scheduling against a standalone workforce platform.
• Workday: Global cloud HCM and workforce management platform with growing French customer base. Threatens Sivan primarily at the upper end of its target market (multi-site enterprises like Marriott).
• Sage: Global accounting, payroll, and HR software vendor with strong French SMB footprint (Sage Paie). Competes indirectly via bundled payroll+HR offerings that may displace point solutions like Sivan.
