Simplifying access to technology: Alegria.tech's commitment

Alegria.tech, the first 100% Nocode French agency, is committed to digital inclusion through Nocode. Its commitment to democratize this technology and in favor of greater diversity in the tech industry includes the decentralization of its activity.

The Paris-based startup wants to accelerate the digital transformation of organizations and promote accessibility to Tech for all businesses and sectors. Created in December 2020 by 3 co-founders, Francis Lelong, CEO, founder of Sarenza.com, Christelle Curcio - Chief Maker Officer - and Thomas Bonnenfant - COO, the Nocode Alegria.tech agency has multiplied its workforce by 10 in 6 months, opened a second office in Nantes in May and now announces its permanent presence in Lyon, at HUB 612, an ecosystem of tech & B2B startups.

Alegria.tech & Lyon: a special bond

The agency already has several long-standing clients in the region, mostly SMEs in a wide variety of sectors (services, construction, FinTech, etc.).

From its Lyon office, Alegria.tech benefits from the geographical proximity of its clients and is enriched by the dynamics of local sectors.

" Lyon is a wonderful reflection of the economic effervescence and innovation of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Moreover, I have an emotional attachment to this city, which was the city of my studies," says Francis Lelong, Co-founder and CEO of Alegria.tech. " The HUB612, a network of startups and digital players, offers an ideal environment to host our team, build relationships with local entrepreneurs and support our clients.

Testimonies: Lyon entrepreneurs won over by Nocode

" The poor organisation of data is a major pain for SMEs in the construction industry and the existing solutions are not very flexible. When I met Alegria.tech and discovered nocode, I realised that the The Tech revolution was finally coming to our businesses and opened up the field of possibilities for tailor-made applications within deadlines adapted to SMEs. " - Martin ROCHON, CEO Okeenea Bâtiment, a major player in accessibility solutions

" The traditional development was too expensive and too slow for an SME of our size. This is why we naturally chose Alegria.tech to assist us in creating a 100% customized Nocode solution. It cost us cheaper and was set up in a number of much shorter lead times." - Jérôme Ferrand, director of ADES, the regional leader in household appliance repairs

" Alegria.tech allowed us to simplify the whole tech part of the project by offering us a efficient and automated web solution. [...] It was really problematic because I was subject to the will of the developerIt was really problematic because we had to work on the database operationally or strategically to add new features to the service. " - Maxime Di Mascio, founder and CEO of Patrimonnaie, FinTech startup

The Nocode revolution carried by Alegria.tech

How can we develop the 500,000,000 applications expected in the next three years when only 0.3% of the population can code?

The solution is to bypass the code. Nocode, literally "no-code" technology, makes it possible to develop any type of application, management tool or website without having to write a line of code. Indeed, by 2024, 80% of IT products and services will be developed directly by business and non-technical profiles, according to a study by Gartner.
