Companies that give meaning to data capital

Their experiences

"We have been working with Veltys for over three years on transformative issues that are fundamental to staying ahead in our sector, which is undergoing significant disruption. Thanks to their unrivalled expertise in data intelligence, they have enabled us to incubate new activities, while simultaneously managing and improving our traditional activities. Their integrity and interpersonal skills, beyond their technical qualities, make them true partners."

Marie-Christine LOMBARD

Chair of the Geodis Executive Board

"In a world where all industries and services are undergoing profound change, there are strategic issues for which a partner must provide vision, expertise, reliability, responsiveness, execution and trust. These are the talents we found at Veltys to support us in our global Data Strategy. There are many opportunities in this field, and deciding on the right direction will undoubtedly impact the model and therefore the future of JCDecaux. Philippe Février and his teams are invaluable to us in steering this transformation."

Jean-Charles DECAUX

Chairman of the Executive Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer, JCDecaux

“Machine learning is great, it's powerful, but there's more to life than machine learning. By calling on Veltys, our goal was to take a step back. Econometric methods offer different approaches and allow us to explore the concepts of causality and educability. Less commonly used in the industry, we wanted to incorporate this additional insight when it could be useful in addressing our multiple challenges: reducing CO₂ emissions from the company's traditional activities, supporting the development of renewable electricity, and contributing to improved safety. As data scientists, we naturally develop a reflex to maximise our performance metrics. But this econometric approach has taught me to anticipate and think about other essential issues. It's exciting to have such a wealth of tools at our disposal that we can use and combine, rather than always thinking solely in terms of machine learning and generative AI. En tant que data scientist, on développe naturellement le réflexe de maximiser nos métriques de performance. Mais cette approche économétrique m'a appris à anticiper et à réfléchir à d'autres questions essentielles. C’est passionnant de disposer de toute cette richesse d'outils qu'on peut utiliser et combiner, plutôt que de toujours penser uniquement « machine learning » et « IA générative ».

Michel Lutz

Chief Data Officer at TotalEnergies

"My sales teams were blown away by the results. Our challenge was to answer some key strategic questions: Are our promotions working, and how? How can we optimise our sales efforts by client, region, product and period? How can we anticipate and take the right actions, particularly for end-of-campaign inventory management? Historically, sales teams worked on the basis of intuition, drawing on their past experience and knowledge of the market. When you're dealing with thousands of data points, it's no longer intuitive at all. After a remarkably structured process involving our teams, Veltys built a predictive tool that perfectly matches our business needs. The model allows us to be extremely precise and set the right level of ambition. Honestly, it's an incredibly powerful tool. It has become a real additional decision-making aid for managing commercial activities. The quality of the results immediately convinced us internally, and we estimated a potential exceeding half a million euros."

Pascal Pinson

Managing Director of Costa d'Oro, Avril Group

Thanks to the effectiveness of the Veltys approach, we have achieved our best sales campaigns ever. Veltys helps us determine the right level of markdown to sell our stock and maintain the company's profitability. These are fundamental issues. We needed to get our project off the ground quickly and be effective as soon as possible. The best thing about our collaboration? They deliver on their promises! I have complete confidence in their teams and their skills.

Sylvain Cheret

then End-to-End Supply Chain Director – Petit Bateau

Nous nous sommes dotés d’une solution intelligente et automatisée pour mesurer l’impact d’une promotion et proposer le bon taux de démarque en choisissant les meilleurs scénarios. Historiquement, les retailers se reposent sur Excel et ce n’est ni très précis ni très réactif. Cela prend un temps fou. Veltys a développé pour nous des algorithmes de machine learning et Alphalyr a développé une interface de remontée d’informations user-friendly depuis les magasins. Cela nous a permis de définir des niveaux de démarques pertinents pour les soldes. Le principal avantage de la solution, c’est l’optimisation sous contrainte. Nous pouvons faire varier les contraintes : générer de la marge, ou privilégier l’écoulement de stocks. Nous pouvons définir autant de scénarios que nous le souhaitons, les faire valider par la direction financière et aligner l’ensemble des équipes sur ces objectifs opérationnels, avec les prix affichés dans les magasins pour les atteindre pendant les soldes. We have developed a smart, automated solution to measure the impact of a promotion and suggest the right markdown rate by choosing the best scenarios. Historically, retailers have relied on Excel, which is neither very accurate nor very responsive. It takes an enormous amount of time. Veltys developed machine learning algorithms for us, and Alphalyr developed a user-friendly interface for reporting information from stores. This enabled us to define relevant markdown levels for sales. The main advantage of the solution is optimisation under constraints. We can vary the constraints: generate margin, or prioritise stock clearance. We can define as many scenarios as we want, have them validated by the finance department and align all teams with these operational objectives, with prices displayed in stores to achieve them during the sales. This fruitful and innovative collaboration was recognised with the ‘Best Supplier/Retailer Collaboration’ award at the 9th Nuit du Commerce Connecté (Connected Commerce Night).
