What agmi does

AGMI (Agence Maintenance et Micro-Informatique) is a privately held French SARL headquartered at 29 Boulevard Anatole France in Poitiers, operating continuously since 1997. The company functions as a local value-added reseller of computer hardware, peripherals, and packaged software, alongside custom PC assembly and IT maintenance, repair, installation, and optimization services. Its catalog spans approximately 1,500 product references across categories including processors, motherboards, graphics cards, memory, storage, networking equipment, UPS units, printers, card readers, and licensed software (Windows, Microsoft Office, antivirus, AutoCAD), with prices ranging from roughly €2 for cables up to €1,629 for high-end UPS units.

The business model is purely transactional: pay-as-you-go unit pricing with payment by check, an optional 20% deposit for specific orders, and shipping restricted to metropolitan France. AGMI does not disclose any recurring revenue component, subscription, or service contract structure; revenue is generated one-time per hardware or license sale and per custom-assembly order (delivered in approximately three weeks). The company also operates a small service business around installation, troubleshooting, and repair, marketed as an eco-responsible alternative to replacement.

Go-to-market is anchored by a single physical storefront in Poitiers supported by an e-commerce catalog website (agmi.fr) hosted by SOS DATA, with no disclosed marketing beyond local presence and social media. The customer base consists of individual consumers and small local artisans in the Grand Poitiers area as the primary segment, plus local businesses as a secondary segment. There is no disclosed external funding, no headcount data beyond two named individuals (Dominique Grollier as publication负责人 and Jean-François Barbier as website developer), and no proprietary technology — positioning AGMI as a long-tenured micro-retailer rather than a scalable technology company.
