MerciYanis

MerciYanis operates in the smart building and facility management sector, offering a B2B SaaS platform that digitizes and centralizes workplace operations. The company was founded in France in 2019 by computer engineers Guillaume Blanc (CEO), Elise Givelet (CTO), and Jordan Gayraud (CPO). The founders' initial venture into entrepreneurship involved a connected bracelet project during their studies, which provided valuable lessons before they pivoted. The idea for MerciYanis emerged after a pivotal meeting at the IoT Valley with Yanis Bensetti, a facility manager, which highlighted the lack of digital tools in his field. The company is named in his honor.

The firm's core business revolves around a subscription-based model, with pricing dependent on the number of sensors deployed. It targets mid-to-large-sized companies, facility management providers, and cleaning service companies, with clients including major corporations like Danone, TF1, and a significant portion of the top cleaning groups in France. The platform integrates with IoT devices—such as sensors and connected buttons—to manage building maintenance and services proactively. This integration allows for real-time incident reporting, connected maintenance, and data-driven insights for optimizing building management.

MerciYanis offers four main modules: incident management through a ticketing system, digitized cleaning that enables cleaning based on actual usage, connected maintenance for building security and equipment monitoring, and energy sobriety by tracking metrics like temperature and CO2. The platform is designed to be hardware-agnostic and provides open APIs for integration with existing client tools like Microsoft Teams and other CMMS platforms. By capturing and analyzing data, the system aims to enable predictive maintenance and smarter resource planning. Since its inception, the company has secured significant funding, including a €1 million round in 2021 and a €2.7 million Series A round in October 2023, to fuel its growth and ambition to become a leader in the smart workplace market.
