LUMIPLAN

DIGITAL SIGNAGE SOLUTIONS DESIGN

Founded in 1972, Lumiplan designs real-time dynamic information and communication solutions for travellers, citizens and tourists through three entities: Smart Mobility, Smart City and Smart Tourism.

Led by Henry Gaillard, the group serves more than 4,000 clients (transport operators, regions, cities and local authorities) and employs around 250 people across France (Nantes – headquarters, Grenoble and 5 branch offices), Italy, Spain, India and the United States.


KEY STRENGTHS

Lumiplan provides an integrated hardware – software – data offering and holds a leading position in growing markets, supported by strong development prospects (sustainable and connected mobility, modernisation of cities, etc.).

The group benefits from a high level of recurring revenue (maintenance and software), driven by the development of in-house software – Lumiplay – systematically sold with the hardware.

The group has a large and diversified client portfolio with an international presence, while relying on strong innovation capabilities and a fabless assembly model.


RESPONSIBLE APPROACH

As a player in sustainable mobility, the group develops solutions aimed at reducing its environmental impact and that of its clients. Its innovation approach is based in particular on the energy optimisation of its equipment, the integration of photovoltaic technologies, the deployment of predictive maintenance and the use of low-consumption display solutions.


PROJECT

Innovafonds invested in the group in 2023 alongside management, in order to reorganise the group’s share capital while optimising management’s relution, and to support a new phase of the group’s development.

Innovafonds supports the group’s growth strategy along three main pillars:

  • ORGANIC GROWTH: strengthening positions in its existing markets, accelerating software and data activities, accelerating exports
  • ORGANISATION: legal simplification of the group structure, optimisation of the organisation for regional management, preparation for and reflection on management succession
  • EXTERNAL GROWTH: continuation of the “build-up” strategy.
