Our vision
From CRM to Energy Matching Platform.
Praestria isn't yet another generic CRM. It's the CRM infrastructure that intermediates a market — Supply, PPAs, flexibility, ESCs, guarantees of origin — where transactions reach millions of euros and where data only has value at the moment of the match.
The shift
The energy market is structuring. Generic CRMs aren't keeping up.
Energy actors — suppliers, renewable producers, brokers, ESC obligated parties, public affairs and legal departments — need a platform built for their business. Not a generic tool you have to teach what a PPA, a PRM or a NEBEF is.
Meanwhile, the market structured by segments: corporate PPA sourcing, flexibility, standardized ESCs, guarantees of origin, public tenders. Seven distinct flows, seven moments where a transaction closes. The CRM that unifies them doesn't just record — it intermediates.
« The value isn't in the data — it's in the match. »
Praestria's role
Turn latent data into billable network effect.
Supply and demand already coexist in energy actors' CRM bases. Matching is just a layer to activate. Praestria activates it: scored in real time, transparent by default, secured by non-circumvent clauses.
ARR multiple vs. pure SaaS

The fundamentals
Three pillars that reinforce each other.
None stands alone. Their combination produces the platform — and makes imitation by a generalist player very expensive.
Sector verticality
CRM by the sector, for the sector
41 sector-specific features, 15 native objects, 120+ preconfigured fields. The vocabulary of the field — PRM, GRD, NEBEF, PPA, ISO — without configuration to rebuild. Operational in 8 weeks, not 18 months.
Concrete sovereignty
Open-source AGPLv3, hosted in France
Open auditable code from the first commit. Hosted on OVH cluster129, French jurisdiction. ISO 9001 and GDPR compliance by design. Sovereignty isn't a slogan: it's an infrastructure.
Network effect
From CRM to matching
Stored data becomes a billable asset at the moment of the match. Seven priority flows intermediated: PPA, flex, ESC, GO, BOAMP, audit, studies. Every match = a transaction taken on a market worth billions.
What it changes
Concretely, what separates a generic CRM from Praestria.
8 weeks to production
Not 6 to 18 months of integration. A ready-to-use business data schema, not a configuration project to restart with every client.
Native business vocabulary
Tenders, PRM, GRD, NEBEF, PPA, ISO: objects speak the language of the field, without translation or adaptation at every rollout.
A unified multi-segment platform
PPA, flexibility, ESC, guarantees of origin, BOAMP: seven flows, one single tool. No business silos forcing you to stack three SaaS that don't talk to each other.
Data already structured, ready to match
The matching layer doesn't need data migration. Everything is already there, scored in real time, compliant by design.
Adoption stages
Three ways to enter the platform.
Same product, three entry doors depending on your scope, your maturity, and your appetite for network effects.
01
CRM only
Entry level
The vertical CRM without the matching layer. To structure your business pipeline and benefit from sector vocabulary without committing to the network.
02
CRM + Matching
Network layer activation
The CRM with access to qualified matching flows. Listing fee at registration, match fee at reveal, success fee at signature. The platform pays for its intermediation.
03
CRM + Matching + Data
Full suite
Access to anonymized sector benchmarks. For actors who want to contribute to market data and benefit from it — traders, banks, advisory.
Our principles
What's non-negotiable.
Four committed principles — for us, for our clients, and for the ecosystem.
- Data sovereignty
- France-based OVH cluster129 hosting. No foreign jurisdiction. No export outside the EU. Clients remain owners of their data at all times and can export on simple request.
- Open code (AGPLv3)
- All platform code is public on GitHub. Auditable, challengeable, forkable. Proprietary lock-in doesn't exist with us — loyalty is earned through the product, not by lock-in.
- Transparent pricing
- No quote-on-request, no mysterious discounts. Prices are public, success fees capped, non-circumvent clauses contractually bounded and time-limited.
- Compliance by design
- ISO 9001 and GDPR built into modelling, not as an overlay. 31 ISO clauses embedded in CRM objects, not in a parallel spreadsheet that nobody maintains.
