Bienfait, a new player in the no-code ecosystem in Nantes

When Simon Olivier and Paul Charbogne met, the two digital project management experts shared the same frustration: the development phase was taking up an excessive amount of time in the overall project. The No-Code movement, which was then gaining momentum, emerged as the solution to their need for agility.

A method optimized by developers

This method, which originated in the United States, offers—as its name suggests—an alternative to the coding previously used in digital development, in the form of components. “It’s a very visual programming solution,” explains Simon Olivier. “You assemble modules such as text fields, buttons, databases, and so on—much like building with Legos.” ” But make no mistake: for the co-founder of Bienfait, the best candidates for creating a digital tool using No-Code are still… “developers—both men and women—who understand the logic and inner workings of these tools.”

Tools designed to streamline processes

For the past two years, Bienfait has been using the no-code approach to meet the digital tool needs of companies and organizations with ten or more employees. “We develop business tools that make life easier for companies, such as CRMs, ERPs, and project management tools,” explains Simon.

Nantes: A Recognized Tech Ecosystem and a Thriving No-Code Scene

After getting started in Paris, Bienfait is continuing to expand in Marseille—where Paul and two employees are based—and in Nantes, where Simon is based. “We designed the company so that everyone can work from wherever they want. ” Originally from Nantes, Simon wanted to return to the “City of Dukes” because its lifestyle is more conducive to family life, but also because “Nantes has a historic place in the tech landscape and boasts a real No-Code community. ” Based at the Palace, he says he “quickly integrated into the digital ecosystem, thanks to the dynamic atmosphere of the place, but also to the connections with various networks and events facilitated by Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement. “It’s really helpful when you arrive in a new city—it helps you make an impact more quickly.” And as you can tell, at Bienfait, we like things to move fast. Well then!
In the short term, Bienfait is looking to hire two people “preferably in Nantes” and plans to have a staff of ten by the end of 2025.
