Descriptiontext

Blue Beacon is a French micro-company (BLUE BEACON SARL, SIRET 839 225 000) headquartered at the CréACannes incubator, 11 Avenue Maurice Chevalier, 06150 Cannes La Bocca, and led by Gérant Grégory Biondo. The company develops mobile marketing solutions organized around three domains: Interactive Commerce, Interactive Tourism, and Interactive Administration (Smart City), with the Shoppeer mobile application as its flagship product, launched in 2020 to serve local merchants and consumers on the French Riviera.

The Shoppeer platform combines local merchant listings, geolocation, and loyalty mechanics within a single mobile interface, deployed in partnership with municipalities and regional institutions including the Ville de Cannes, Ville de Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Communauté d'Agglomération Cannes Pays de Lérins, CRT Côte d'Azur France, and CCI Nice Côte d'Azur. Inclusion in the UGAP public procurement framework extends the addressable buyer base to French public-sector organizations, and recognition through the 2019 RDT Project Prize from ProCotedazur supports regional credibility.

The business model rests on municipal and institutional contracts paired with local merchant participation on the Shoppeer app, with no disclosed pricing structure, transaction fees, or SaaS tiers. The company participates in the FrenchTech Côte d'Azur ecosystem and took part in the regional COVID-19 solidarity initiative in 2020, signaling alignment with local innovation networks rather than a venture-funded growth posture.
