Beeside

What Beeside does

Beeside (legal name: superbees SAS) is a Paris-based, founder-owned digital consulting and development agency founded in 2015 by Patrick Petit. Operating with a 5-person team, the company delivers bespoke web applications, e-commerce platforms, SaaS applications, CRM systems, and micro-services architecture for clients across France and Belgium. Its core technology stack is built on PHP/Symfony, React, API Platform, and AWS, with the founder personally leading client engagements and project delivery.

The business model is project-based professional services, with project budgets ranging from under €5,000 to over €50,000, and engagements typically covering consulting, custom development, and ongoing maintenance. Beeside reaches customers through direct sales, content marketing (blog articles on SEO, digital transformation, API Platform, and RGPD), and a website inquiry funnel with budget-tier self-selection. Marquee enterprise clients include LVMH, 24s, Leroy Merlin, and Martini, alongside a notable co-developed product, HuCare, a workplace mental-health platform built in partnership with Empreinte Humaine and launched in September 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Strategically, Beeside operates as a lifestyle-scale boutique consultancy without external funding, M&A activity, or disclosed expansion plans. Its competitive positioning rests on the founder's 15 years of consulting experience, a high-end custom-delivery reputation, and the credibility derived from enterprise client logos. The registered 'superbees' trademark covers the EU, Switzerland, and Monaco. Growth appears incremental and tied to founder-led client acquisition rather than scaling investments.
