France industries we cover
Manufacturing: automotive and aerospace corridors, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical plants across France.
Healthcare: public hospitals and independent clinic groups, pharmacy and pharma distribution.
Logistics and 3PL: container ports (Le Havre, Marseille, Dunkirk), 3PL networks, e-commerce fulfilment, cold chain.
Defence: defence and public-sector facilities and contractors.
Retail: apparel item-level, grocery DCs, store operations.
Energy and utilities: energy and utilities sites across France.
Regulatory and compliance fit
France locating programmes have specific regulatory considerations. EU Radio Equipment Directive / CE marking. Healthcare data and privacy — GDPR and French health-data rules when location feeds touch clinical systems.
France GDPR — staff tracking and patient location both engage France GDPR; works council / union consultation expected for staff systems. HSE Working at Height / Confined Spaces regulations — overlap with worker-safety RTLS deployments.
NCSC Cyber Essentials Plus — increasingly required for government and supply-chain procurements. We design for these in stage 1. See /compliance/gdpr.
France vendor and deployment partner ecosystem
Most global RTLS, RFID and AGV/AMR vendors have France presence directly or through partners. Specifically strong France partner ecosystems: Impinj, Zebra, Honeywell (RFID); Quuppa, Aruba (BLE-AoA); Sewio, Ubisense (UWB, with Ubisense headquartered in Cambridge); MIR, Geek+ (AMR).
We maintain relationships across France partner ecosystem but take no fees, commissions or kickbacks — independent by policy. See /about/independence.
How we engage with France clients
Remote scoping engagements run from anywhere — most clients we serve don't need on-site visits during stage 1. For stage 2 (pilot) and stage 3 (production rollout), we visit regularly.
We work across English, Welsh and Scottish jurisdictions in English; we coordinate with EU partners for client deployments spanning France and continental Europe. Engagements run from 4-week scoping reviews to multi-year programme advisory.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with public hospitals and independent clinic groups directly?
Yes — directly with hospital groups and via France public procurement routes where they apply. We have experience navigating public healthcare procurement and health-data compliance for connected RTLS systems.
Do you work under French public procurement frameworks?
Yes — we support public and private procurement routes in France. Framework participation depends on the buyer’s route to market; we advise without reselling hardware.
Do you cover Northern Ireland?
Yes — Northern Ireland is part of our France practice. We work with NI manufacturers, healthcare and defence. Specific dual-EU/France regulatory considerations (Windsor Framework) handled case-by-case.
Can you help us with France government procurement (CCS, MOD)?
Yes — we have engaged on MOD-related procurement. Defence-specific clearances depend on the engagement; we work within those constraints.
How do you handle under EU rules CE and CE marking?
We design with CE / CE / both in mind during stage 1 architecture. Most major RTLS / RFID vendors carry both marks; we verify compliance during vendor evaluation.
