Peaks of footfall
During the 2026 Braderie, hotel occupancy reached 97.1% on the Saturday. On days like that, there's no time to pick up the phone: online booking, a phone line that answers and online payment stop you losing customers.

On site, at your premises
The first meeting takes place at your premises in Lille or by video call, you choose when booking. The immersion happens on site, alongside you.
Remotely, the rest of the time
We have no office in Lille: we come to you. Set-up and follow-up are done remotely, without taking up your time.
A single point of contact
You only explain your situation once. The person who listened to you at the first meeting is the one who follows your file afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Do you come to Lille?
Yes. The first meeting takes place at your premises or by video call, as you prefer, and the immersion happens on site, in Lille and across the metropolitan area.
Do you have an office in Lille?
No: we come to you. The rest of the work is done remotely, with the same person from start to finish.
Is there any support for going digital in Lille?
Yes: the Hauts-de-France Chamber of Commerce's Booster Numérique is free for new participants until 31 December 2026, and the Hauts-de-France Region helps very small businesses invest. Check their current terms with them.
Are you an AI expert for small businesses in Lille?
Yes. We put AI where it saves you time: answering customers, sorting emails, an assistant on your website, preparing quotes. You stay in control of everything it does.
Why a consultant rather than quote and invoicing software?
Software only does what you tell it to. We start from your day, choose the tools and connect them: the signed quote becomes the invoice, then the reminder if it goes unpaid, with no re-keying.
How long does the assessment take?
Twenty minutes, with no commitment, on site in Lille or by video call. We look at your day and tell you what can run by itself, and what isn't worth it.
Do I need to change my software?
No. We start from the tools you already use when they work, and everything we set up stays in your name.
