Data Agency in Bordeaux
Organize and Make the Most of Your Data in Nouvelle-Aquitaine
A heterogeneous legacy system, a data project that never took off, and decisions based on numbers that no one really agrees on
These are the situations faced by most of the companies we work with in Gironde and Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Opened in 2023, our Bordeaux office has a simple goal: to make your data reliable, accessible, and useful for decision-making.
Data engineering, data analysis, data science, and artificial intelligence—we step in wherever you are in the process: assessing your current setup, structuring your data sources, building a foundational framework, or scaling up a validated use case. Our 150 employees, based in Bordeaux, Paris, and Toulouse, pool their expertise within communities of experts—our Practices.
Why use a data agency based in Bordeaux?
Bordeaux’s economic landscape is dominated by mid-sized companies and solid family-owned businesses, which are often market leaders. This is very different from the structure of large corporate groups: here, the challenge isn’t to coordinate dozens of systems, but to take a heterogeneous existing infrastructure and turn it into a usable foundation without having to rebuild everything from scratch. Here are the situations we most frequently handle in Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
The local ecosystem supports us in this: Bordeaux is driven by an active digital community and well-structured regional industries, and there is genuine collaboration among stakeholders. Since our consultants work on-site, we’re able to visit your offices on a weekly basis, rather than managing projects remotely from Paris. This proximity is all the more important given that a mid-sized company’s digital strategy is decided by a small committee and evolves rapidly.
You are the market leader, but you don't have a structured data function
You've already launched a data project, and it didn't take off
Your traceability and forecasting are directly reflected in your margin
Your customer data is scattered, and your performance metrics are unreliable
Your research data must be reliable and reproducible
Your sales volume and seasonal trends remain underutilized
Solid companies with deep industry knowledge, but rarely a structured in-house data team. Management relies on Excel files that have piled up over the years, maintained by one or two people who are the only ones who understand how they work. The data exists; it’s just not usable by the team as a whole.
The 5 Degrés solution: move beyond widespread reliance on Excel by implementing solutions tailored to the actual size of your company—not that of a large corporation—and by building on what’s already working for you.
What we see most often in Bordeaux: organizations that have already attempted a data project—sometimes two—and have run into an unstable foundation or a lack of business adoption. The tool was delivered, but no one is using it. The challenge wasn’t technical; it was about defining the scope and getting the teams on board.
The 5 Degrés solution: our first instinct isn’t to propose technical solutions; it’s to conduct an audit of your data sources and the quality of your existing systems. We define the scope before building, we engage business teams right from the initial workshop, and we’re willing to start small if that’s what it takes for the system to stand the test of time.
In the wine, spirits, and food industries, traceability, product quality assurance, and yield forecasting have a direct impact on profit margins. One inaccurate production figure, and the entire supply chain management process is thrown off track.
The 5 Degrés solution: a reliable end-to-end production data chain, quality indicators tracked over time, and forecasting models grounded in your actual seasonal constraints.
In e-commerce and retail—Bordeaux is home to one of France’s largest players in the sector—customer data and performance measurement are the engine that drives the business. When acquisition sources, CRM, and sales channels don’t communicate with each other, budget decisions are made blindly.
The 5 Degrés solution: reconciling customer data across the website, CRM, and sales channels; auditing the tagging plan; and developing shared performance metrics.
In healthcare, biotech, and clinical research, the key requirement is reliability and reproducibility. A result that cannot be reproduced exactly—using the same documented processing workflow—has no value.
The 5 Degrés solution: documented, versioned, and reproducible pipelines, along with information QA management designed to stand up to an audit.
In the energy sector, value lies in leveraging large volumes of consumption data. And in the tourism sector, due to strong seasonality, value lies in forecasting and optimizing occupancy. In both cases, data is widely available but rarely translated into operational decisions.
The 5 Degrés solution: architectures capable of handling large volumes of data without driving up costs, and forecasting models whose outputs are delivered directly to the decision-making teams.
Our data expertise in Bordeaux
Data Science & AI
Data Engineering
Data Analysis
Demand forecasting, optimization, scoring, and the application of generative artificial intelligence to targeted business use cases. We prioritize projects that deliver quick and measurable results, rooted in an identified user need, and we’ll let you know when artificial intelligence isn’t the right solution for your problem.
Building reliable and scalable foundations: data source integration, modeling, data profiling, and workflow automation. Our projects in Nouvelle-Aquitaine often focus on moving away from widespread use of Excel and implementing solutions tailored to the actual size of the business—not that of a large corporation.
Defining the metrics that really matter, measuring performance, overhauling reporting, and empowering business teams. This is very often our starting point for projects in Bordeaux: before we can even talk about predictive models, management and operations need to be on the same page when it comes to the numbers. We turn your data into decisions rather than dashboards.

Frequently Asked Questions
We don't have an in-house data team—is it too early to reach out to you?
On the contrary, now is the right time. Most of our projects in Nouvelle-Aquitaine get underway without an established data team: we conduct a needs assessment, build the foundation, and train your business teams so they can become more self-sufficient. The goal is not to make you dependent on a service provider.
Our previous data project was never adopted by the teams. How do you prevent that from happening?
By treating adoption as a design constraint, not as a phase at the end of the project. Business stakeholders are involved from the very first scoping workshop; metrics are defined in collaboration with those who will use them; and we prefer to deliver a limited scope that is actually used rather than a comprehensive system that remains unused.
Can you audit our marketing metrics system?
Yes. This is a common request and a good starting point: auditing the tagging plan, taking inventory of data sources, verifying the quality of customer data, and ensuring consistency across tools. The deliverable is a map of the current state and a prioritized action plan.
Do you provide services outside the Bordeaux Métropole area?
Yes, throughout the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Our consultants regularly travel to Bayonne, Pau, La Rochelle, Poitiers, and Limoges. The frequency of on-site visits is determined during the project scoping phase, depending on the nature of the project.
Do you need a large budget to launch a data project?
No, and that’s precisely why it’s beneficial to start with a Maturity Assessment or a workshop. These short-form sessions give you a clear picture of your priorities and the level of investment actually required before committing to a project budget. We then offer solutions tailored to your organization—not ones designed for large enterprises.
Can we work with you on an initial use case for artificial intelligence without a mature data foundation?
This is possible within a limited scope, provided you accept its limitations. We’ll be frank with you if the quality assurance of your current data doesn’t allow us to produce a reliable result: it’s better to have a modest use case that works than an impressive demonstration that can’t be put into production.
Are your consultants in Bordeaux the same as those in Paris?
No, our Bordeaux office has its own team. However, all our consultants belong to the same practice groups: for a highly specialized topic, we can bring in an expert from another office on an ad hoc basis.
