This fundraising will allow the company to accelerate its development, strengthen its workforce and continue the development of its digital tools for the construction industry.
In addition, IBAT will be present at BATIMAT from November 4 to 8 if you want to meet the teams on site.
IBAT solutions, which simplify all the management of construction site expenses, have already attracted many construction companies such as the Demathieu Bard, GCC, Eurovia groups but also SMEs such as Crespy, Stibat or Boisseau.
Mélanie Lehoux, founder and CEO of IBAT says: “We are very pleased with the confidence provided by our financial partners. This levy will give us the opportunity to accelerate our growth in France and in Europe, and to adapt our solutions to the market for SMEs and VSEs for which digital technology is becoming a real asset for economic development. "
“While construction companies are struggling to maintain their margins, the solutions developed by IBAT, simple and easy to take in hand, have been able to modernize the way of buying on construction sites and thus save them some precious margin points. The digitalization of this sector is now well underway and we are convinced that the IBAT solution, thanks to its field approach, will quickly become the leader in digital management of construction expenses ”, announces Benjamin Lillo, investment director at Irdi Soridec.
IBAT: collaborative applications to simplify the work of construction teams
IBAT has been marketing digital solutions for construction companies since 2017 that allow them to optimize all expenses on construction sites. By supporting them in the digital transformation of their sites, IBAT allows companies in the sector to gain operational excellence.
Indeed, the construction sector is digitalizing in France, in particular with the generalization of BIM (Building Information Modeling) for the construction of buildings. However, digital technology is not yet always present in the daily life of construction sites.
The work teams work on excel and paper files. They also face significant losses in efficiency and productivity. In this context, IBAT tools allow real time savings as well as financial management of the 3 expenses of the company: labor, purchasing and subcontracting. Digital then becomes a real productivity accelerator.
To meet this challenge, IBAT has developed the following applications:
- IBAT PURCHASE: the multi-supplier online ordering application with its disconnected mobile version,
- IBAT TEMPS: the planning, pointing and management tool for work teams,
- IBAT CONSULT: the digital consultation application for carrying out site tenders.
These 3 applications were co-built with a hundred site managers and works managers. They are both adapted to the specificities of the sites and at the same time allow management in real time of the company's expenses by management. In fact, they are a “bridge” between the site and the general management software used by companies.
