After 10 years of sustained growth, the software publisher Webmecanik is taken over by its management.
Sophie Panot becomes Chairwoman and keeps her role as CRO (Chief Revenue Officer), Norman Pracht remains Managing Director and David Coutelle, Technical Director.
The ambition of the three managers to consolidate Webmecanik’s position as the go-to player in marketing automation and CRM in Europe by buying out the company’s shares from its founder and president, Stéphane Couleaud, is to consolidate Webmecanik’s position as the go-to player in marketing automation and CRM in Europe.
Future investments will focus on the continuous improvement of the platforms’ ergonomics and ease of use, enabling their users to save precious time every day, in particular thanks to AI. This integration of artificial intelligence will always be carried out in accordance with quality, security, and the protection of personal data. Webmecanik therefore positions itself as a sovereign alternative to US SaaS solutions such as Hubspot, Salesforce and Marketo.
Building on its longstanding commitments regarding data sovereignty, Webmecanik is also strengthening its eco-design and responsible digital strategy. Currently in the process of certification as “Responsible Digital,” the company aims to fully integrate environmental and ethical issues into the development of its software. This initiative is aligned with the desire to provide concrete answers to the growing expectations of mid-sized companies (ETIs) and large groups: performance, compliance, durability, and digital sobriety.
“We are extremely enthusiastic about the idea of writing this new chapter for Webmecanik,” says Sophie Panot, Chairwoman. “Our deep understanding of our clients’ needs and our commitment to their success are stronger than ever. We will continue to innovate to provide them with solutions that are even more efficient and intuitive, while staying true to our values of proximity, security, and data sovereignty. ”
This takeover marks a new era of growth and innovation for Webmecanik, with a passionate and determined leadership team committed to helping its customers achieve marketing and commercial excellence.
