Napta, founded in Paris, France in 2016 by Arnaud Caldichoury, Etienne Caldichoury, and Arnaud Cammas, operates as a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for resource and skills management. The company, formerly known as PickYourSkills, was established after the founders observed suboptimal project planning during their professional experiences in consulting and other industries. They identified a dual problem: companies struggled to manage team workloads and project capacity, impacting economic performance, while employees were often assigned to projects that didn't align with their skills or interests, leading to decreased motivation.
The firm targets professional services businesses such as consulting, IT services, and audit firms. Its business model is based on subscriptions to its platform, which is designed to integrate with a client's existing IT infrastructure. Napta serves over 150 companies in more than 70 countries, including prominent clients like EY, KPMG, Capgemini, and Schneider Electric. The company's core offering is an AI-powered platform for strategic workforce planning and talent management. This system, called Smart Staffing™, aims to optimize project assignments by matching employee skills, availability, and professional aspirations with project requirements.
Key features of the platform include tools to visualize employee availability, simulate different staffing scenarios, and anticipate overwork or skill gaps. It also incorporates financial management by allowing users to manage project budgets and track margins. A significant aspect of the service is its focus on employee engagement; it allows employees to express interest in projects, and this input is factored into the AI-driven matching score. To date, Napta has raised a total of $9.94 million over two funding rounds. Its latest funding was a Series A round on March 22, 2022, for $8.83 million, led by MAIF Avenir with participation from historical investor Kerala Ventures.
