A leader in its market, Telelogos is a publisher of software for sharing information via screens. Telelogos’ applications are deployed by numerous companies around the world who use them to optimise their communications with customers and employees, as well as to streamline their operations. The Angers-based company was acquired in 2016 by a duo of business leaders, Christophe Justeau and Christophe Billaud, and has seen regular profitable growth of around 10% per year. With turnover of over €6 million in 2021, the company aims to accelerate its international growth. With this first round of fundraising, Crédit Mutuel Equity joins a shareholder base that already includes the company’s directors and employees—who Telelogos has invited to become shareholders and involved in its governance—as well as a pool of experienced directors committed to the company’s growth.

The digital visual communication enabled by Telelogos is one of the most effective and economical ways to get people’s attention and instantaneously share information with them. This makes it a key component of operational efficiency, particularly in environments such as production units, warehouses, and offices, where it is crucial for companies to get the right information to the right people at the right time in order to improve their engagement and optimise daily operations.

Digital visual communication also helps orient and inform customers and visitors passing through public spaces, including airport terminals and train stations, shopping centres, shops, banks, and hospitals. It also helps improve the management of work spaces (reservations of rooms and “flex” office spaces), energy conservation, and the engagement of teams with CSR objectives.

Integrated with a company’s computer systems, Telelogos’ software allows all departments (quality, engineering, IT, HR, sales and marketing, communications, sustainability) to get engaged and make use of data produced or collected. The software also facilitates the transformation of that data into value-added information: extraction of internal and external data, correlation, aggregation, and formatting, enrichment via integration of information streams, planning and control of distribution, etc. The applications also help companies manage connected equipment, particularly the devices on which information is shared: screens, kiosks, tablets, smartphones, printers, etc.

Telelogos’ success is founded on many years of application development and interactions with partners and customers. This experience and these technical skills have helped the company establish solid relationships with international leaders in the electronics and software publishing markets, as well as with a global network of consulting firms and systems integrators.

Telelogos has sales offices in the United States and Mexico, as well as 2,000 customers and 500,000 active licences, with ambitions to continue growing worldwide.

“International growth is a pillar of Telelogos’ development. Our software is currently deployed in over 50 countries, in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, including the Middle East and China. Crédit Mutuel Equity becoming a shareholder and joining Telelogos’ strategic committee will help us double down on our growth efforts by establishing a subsidiary in the United States and acquiring a local player. We also don’t rule out the possibility of considering opportunities that might come up from established players in another country offering great prospects,” explains Christophe Justeau, Chairman of Telelogos.

“The spirit instilled by Christophe Justeau and Christophe Billaud since they acquired Telelogos has helped them put together a solid, loyal team with internationally renowned expertise. The company has developed assets and technical solutions that set it apart and meet the needs and expectations of big names in the electronics and software industries. The project for growth in the Americas is an ambitious, motivating challenge in which Crédit Mutuel Equity will be able to help by mobilising all its resources, including a portfolio of 330 equity investments and the international network of the Crédit Mutuel Alliance Fédérale group of companies,” says Anthony Hillion, Director of Equity Investments at Crédit Mutuel Equity.
