What Uptime does

Uptime is a custom software development agency founded in 2022 in Cesson-S\u00e9vign\u00e9, Brittany, serving small and medium enterprises (PME/ETI) and innovation-driven companies across the Grand Ouest region of France (Rennes, Nantes, Caen, Vannes, Saint-Brieuc, Mayenne). The company builds bespoke web applications, mobile apps (iOS/Android via Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native), custom ERP, CRM, SaaS, e-commerce platforms, and APIs, with documented proprietary engineering patterns including a 4-layer React Native architecture (UI/Hooks/Store/Services using Zustand and Axios), typed API error systems, and GitLab CI/CD pipelines with Expo EAS for cross-platform builds. Selected verticals include healthcare (with HDS-compliant hosting via a local Breton data center partner), logistics (Lahaye Global Logistics), education (La Cit\u00e9 des M\u00e9tiers), and professional services (Servicea, CogNLab, Ekolis, Kinetics).

Uptime operates a sales-led go-to-market driven by a quote request form on its website, with consultative selling handled by founder Guillaume B\u00e9tin (G\u00e9rant, Project Director) and commercial lead Emma Bouchet. Revenue is generated primarily through fixed-price (forfait) project contracts ranging from ~€8K for a basic Android MVP to over €150K for complex native builds, with average project duration of 5 months. Post-delivery, the company sells annual Tierce Maintenance Applicative (TMA) contracts covering corrective and evolutionary maintenance, plus optional HDS-compliant hosting, IT infrastructure management, and migration services — providing a recurring-revenue layer atop the project-based core. The company also positions clients to leverage the French Cr\u00e9dit d'Imp\u00f4t Innovation (CII) tax credit of up to 20% (capped at €400K/year) as a cost-reduction lever.

Uptime is registered as a SARL with €1,000 share capital (RCS Rennes 914 728 019), is privately held with no parent company or disclosed funding, and employs 11 specialists. No revenue, ARR, or profitability figures are disclosed; the 30+ client base is distributed across SMBs, mid-market firms, and a handful of enterprise and government logos, indicating moderate customer concentration. Marketing is content-led (blog, LinkedIn, La French Tech / Le Poool ecosystem membership) with no third-party reseller or marketplace distribution.

Revenue model

1. Fixed-Price Project Contracts: Uptime delivers custom software development projects on a fixed-price (forfait) basis. Clients receive a detailed budget estimate before project kickoff, and the company commits to defined deliverables and timelines with no hidden costs. This is the primary revenue stream.
2. Tierce Maintenance Applicative (TMA): Post-delivery maintenance contracts covering bug fixes, corrective maintenance, and feature evolution. Provides recurring revenue after project completion, with a 3-month warranty period included by default.
3. Third-Party Hosting Services: Uptime offers hosting services for client tools, including HDS (Hébergeur de Données de Santé) compliant hosting for healthcare tools, collaborating with a local Breton hosting provider.
