The company audits and remediates more than 200 websites per year against the French RGAA standard, the WCAG, and EN 301 549, and has developed two proprietary frameworks: RAAM 2.0 for mobile application accessibility (released 2024) and RAMMU 1.0 for accessibility of urban digital furniture such as interactive kiosks. Its service portfolio spans RGAA and RAAM technical audits, compliance consulting, accessible development and remediation, inclusive user testing (Handitested, Blind Focus Usage), QUALIOPI-certified training programs, and IT staffing plus inclusive recruitment delivered through its EA-credentialed workforce.

The business operates a professional services model with quote-based, customized proposals and no public pricing. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise and public-sector sales, with a named client base spanning retail (Boulanger, Decathlon), transport (RATP), logistics (La Poste), media (France TV), energy (Orano), and government (Département du Nord). Distribution is direct — no resellers or marketplace channels — and concentrated in France, though the company is recognized as an Impact 120 laureate. The firm holds QUALIOPI certification for its training programs and has declared 89% RGAA 4.1.2 compliance on its own website. Leadership includes President Mathieu Froidure, HR Manager Nabil Elbaghdadi, and publication lead William Benchemouil; the company is privately held with no disclosed parent, PE, or VC ownership.
