Locating consultants in France.
Independent locating programmes for plants, hospitals, yards and warehouses across France — advisory, build, rescue and managed care. No hardware resale.
Work delivered in French or English. Local GDPR and industrial OT expectations built into the architecture.
Deployment partner network across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Remote scoping engagements run from anywhere; on-site visits to France regularly.

Regulatory and compliance fit
France RTLS deployments have specific regulatory considerations. France Radio Equipment Regulations — devices must comply post-Brexit (UKCA marking alongside CE). NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT) — required for healthcare RTLS connected to patient data.
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.
UK-specific case studies
We've advised France clients in NHS RTLS (Trust-wide asset tracking, hand-hygiene), automotive WIP (Midlands plants, UWB), warehouse RFID (3PL networks, RAIN), aerospace tool control (BAE, Rolls-Royce supply chain), and retail apparel item-level (France high-street and DC).
Specific case studies are anonymised by default; references are callable with permission. See /case-studies.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with NHS Trusts directly?
Yes — directly with Trusts, with NHS Shared Business Services, or via NHS-approved framework agreements. We have experience navigating NHS procurement and DSPT compliance for connected RTLS systems.
Are you on NHS frameworks (e.g., GCloud, NHS SBS)?
We pursue framework presence as engagements demand. Many NHS clients engage us via direct procurement under threshold; larger programmes use frameworks. We adapt to client procurement constraints.
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 post-Brexit UKCA and CE marking?
We design with UKCA / CE / both in mind during stage 1 architecture. Most major RTLS / RFID vendors carry both marks; we verify compliance during vendor evaluation.
