What MY-NDS does
MY-NDS (My Network Detection Solutions) is a French B2B equipment distributor specializing in buried network detection and georeferencing solutions for professional operators. Headquartered in La Garde (Var) as a SARL with €60,000 registered capital, the company was founded in late 2014 by Julien CABAGNO and Philippe CAPON, both with over a decade of prior experience in energy distribution networks. The company does not perform detection services itself; it exclusively supplies equipment, training, rental, and financing to construction companies, engineering consultancies, local authorities, network operators, and specialized detection service providers. Its operations are anchored to the French DT-DICT regulatory framework mandating professional network detection prior to excavation.
The product portfolio spans complementary detection modalities: ground-penetrating radars from USRADAR (exclusive European and Francophone African distribution) including the QUANTUM tri-frequency, GP ROVER, and Q Series; electromagnetic locators from Radiodetection (RD8200, RD8200 SG with integrated GNSS, RD7200, RD8100MRX, C.A.T4/Genny4); acoustic water-leak detection (AQUALEAK); pipeline inspection cameras (P540 push, P550 tractor); GNSS solutions; ViDoc RTK photogrammetry; detectable needles and probes (TARAVELLO Pro, KATIMEX); and a connected odometer (CARTA). The portfolio is rounded out by QUALIOPI-certified professional training (OPCO-financed), short-term equipment rental with credit-toward-purchase, and LLD financing facilitated through GRENKE. Marketing channels are predominantly direct enterprise sales with personalized on-site demonstrations, supported by a bilingual (French/English) website, industry federation memberships (FEMITRAS, FNEDRE), and partnerships with internationally recognized manufacturers.
Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware resale (primary), professional training services, short-term equipment rental, and financing facilitation via GRENKE. Major disclosed enterprise customers include GRDF, VINCI/Eurovia, Colas, Eiffage, Engie, Dalkia, Socotec, Axians, Razel-Bec, Spie Batignolles, Citeos, Geosat, and Canal de Carpentras. With 1-10 employees and an unchanged ownership structure since founding, the business is founder-led and operationally compact.
