Ziqy

Ziqy provides a SaaS platform focused on the circular economy, enabling businesses to manage rentals, product refurbishment, and second-hand sales. The company was founded in 2016 by David Azoulay, who serves as the CEO. Initially focused on subscription management, Ziqy has since expanded its offerings to support a variety of circular business models.

The company's core product is a turnkey solution for businesses to establish and manage rental services, both online and in physical stores. Key features of the platform include inventory management, online and in-store payment processing, electronic contract signing, security deposit handling, and subscription management. Ziqy also offers solutions for managing product refurbishment (Refit) and facilitating the buyback and resale of used goods. The platform is designed to be scalable, serving both small businesses and large enterprises with multiple locations. Its business model includes setup fees and a monthly subscription, plus a percentage per transaction.

In January 2017, Ziqy secured a seed funding round of $1.07 million from investors including Bpifrance and News Invest. On February 6, 2025, the company was acquired by PFSTECH, a multinational firm specializing in software solutions for the credit lifecycle. Following the acquisition, Ziqy continues to operate independently while integrating with PFSTECH's broader infrastructure to expand its technological capabilities and market reach. The firm serves major clients such as Decathlon, Norauto, and Leroy Merlin across multiple European countries.
