CO-TOOLS

CO-TOOLS builds tailor-made applications and gives advice on industrial connected objects, the industrial Internet of Things. Its current site, written in French, focuses on helping small and medium businesses go digital.

A typical job replaces paper forms or Excel sheets with a simple app, often with photos, client signatures and automatic PDF reports. Projects usually start with a video call to understand the need.

What CO-TOOLS offers

• Custom apps — mobile forms for maintenance visits, vehicle reception and after-sales follow-up.
• Spreadsheet replacement — moving complex Excel files, with linked sheets and charts, into proper tools.
• CRM — sales tracking and automated reminders.
• Industrial IoT consultancy — solutions built on open source technology with attention to reliability and security.

Who it works with

Small and medium businesses, plus distribution, engineering, production, maintenance and construction companies. Named examples include a heating and ventilation firm and a vehicle fitting company.
