Celebrating a 3nd birthday in the midst of a global health crisis - what a strange idea... And what a challenge for a young company to be going through all this...
Well, what can we learn from this crazy year and these 3 years?
As one of our customers says: " SprintProject is still there, standing, in great shape and with growth of more than 30% over the past year. It’s a tour de force! "
That alone is a real source of satisfaction.
3 years is often what we call the first level of maturity of a company.
At the house of SprintProject, these 3 years will have allowed us to develop:
- the one and only shared monitoring and Open Innovation unit dedicated to the Supply Chain sector. Today, 12 major companies in the sector have joined us: DB Schenker, GS1-France, FM Logistics, B2PWeb, Savoye, Generix Group, GSE, SigFox, Log's, Fraikin, DPDgroup and Logicor …
- a dozen collaborative programs on major topics for the future of the sector (warehouse robotics, identification, AI, hydrogen, etc.)
- A practice consulting dedicated to innovation and support in external growth projects
To support this dynamic, the team has grown over time and today has 8 employees and a network of external partners who support our clients on a daily basis.
Last to arrive, Mathieu BOYER, our International Open Innovation Analyst. Its expertise thus significantly broadens the international aspect of monitoring startups and analyzing trends on innovation in the Supply Chain of tomorrow.
NOW, what of 2021?
The year is off to a flying start, with 3 major partnerships:
The Village Francophone is organizing, from the 12th to the 14th of January 2021, the CES – PHYGITAL FORUM . The event brings together more than 15,000 decision-makers and 700 jurors from 11 countries to decipher the key trends and new models for 2021. SprintProject, representative of the “Smart Transport and Mobility” Collective chaired the jury during the startup competition.
Agora Live Supply Chain, organized by Agora Managers Event in partnership with SprintProject, will bring together professionals in the sector for the second year on the 21st and the 2nd of January 2021. On this occasion, a startup competition will allow the listeners' favorite new innovative startup to be elected!
HUBDAY Retail and E-commerce by the HUB Institute (February the 2nd, 2021) : for the 2nd consecutive year SprintProject will be the “Smart Supply Chain” partner of the “HUBDAY Retail & Ecommerce” event. The event will bring together hundreds of Retail and Ecommerce decision-makers around the issues and challenges of Smart Supply.
Launch of SprintsUnits in 2021:
THE SprintUnits are vertical monitoring units, intended for all players in these specific sectors. In the coming weeks, the first three SprintUnits will see the light of day: “Transport and mobility of goods”, “IT and Tech” and “Infrastructure and Vehicles”.
Towards the international:
The acceleration of our international monitoring and the company's first developments outside France.
After the 3nd edition of our Barometer “Delivery services: realities on the expectations of the French *”, we want to extend it to a European scale for the 2021 edition.
In short ? A busy schedule and new challenges: everything that makes up the DNA of SprintProject!
It is therefore with great happiness, strength and conviction that we open 2021 with the desire to discover what this new year will have in store for us...
Happy New Year to everyone and see you soon.
Sprintly yours,
Fabien ESNOULT, President of SprintProject
