Ubiplace

Ubiplace, established in 2016, provides a data management platform focused on the infrastructure, construction, and environmental sectors. Initially launched as Smart Service Connect by founders Benjamin Mondou, Emmanuel Souraud, Jean-Denis Paris, and Rémi Mejias, the company first developed a tool to connect property managers and co-owners. A pivotal moment arrived in 2018 through a European project in Nice, which prompted the firm to adapt its technology for urban construction sites, shifting its focus to managing stakeholders and users within infrastructure projects. This evolution led to the creation of a web-based platform accessible on any digital device.

The company rebranded to Ubiplace in 2021, a name derived from 'ubiquity' and 'place' to reflect its mission of enabling widespread data collection. This rebranding coincided with a strategic investment from Egis, an engineering group and subsidiary of Caisse des Dépôts, which acquired a 25% stake to bolster Ubiplace's national presence and international expansion. This partnership followed a period of significant growth, including doubling its turnover in 2020 despite the health crisis. Ubiplace's journey has been marked by several key milestones, including incubation at the CEEI of Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur (2016), acceleration by La Poste's Startinpost program (2017), and joining the Village by CA accelerator (2018).

Ubiplace operates on a SaaS model, offering a platform that helps businesses and public authorities collect, structure, and utilize field data for asset and infrastructure management. The platform integrates with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Digital Models, facilitating real-time coordination and decision-making. Its client base includes project owners, contractors, operators, and maintenance teams in sectors like transportation, public works, and environmental risk management. The company offers two main products: 'Smart Chantier,' which focuses on communication and managing public impact during construction projects, and 'Smart Vigie,' a tool for centralizing and visualizing territorial data collected via mobile devices. By structuring field data, Ubiplace also lays the groundwork for its clients to implement AI initiatives.
