Expertise built in the field
Since its creation, Solid has supported all types of companies in managing their data and flows. The company has now specialized and supports more than 250 hospitals in Switzerland, major watchmakers, banks, and big pharma groups. All of these players share the same need: to better visualize, measure, and track their flows, products, and components with precision. "Our role is to provide data that companies find difficult to capture as automatically as possible. In the luxury industry, for example, our solutions enable the automated tracking of items through every stage of the value chain: from the receipt of components to the sale in stores, in a smooth and automatic process that does not disrupt the daily work of those in the industry," explains Frédéric Alimi.
Thanks to its software solutions integrating RFID, NFC, and BLE technologies, Solid streamlines the value chain, reduces errors, and sustainably improves productivity. "We help companies optimize the visibility of what they track. They save time, reduce risks, and can thus redirect their teams to higher value-added tasks," adds François Schmitt, Sales Director.
An integrator and facilitator partner
At the heart of Solid's philosophy lies one principle: traceability must be integrated naturally into existing business processes without becoming too cumbersome to implement. "We never disrupt a business. Our job is to integrate ourselves into the customer's process, transparently, without disrupting their habits," explains the director. This approach is made possible by teams specializing in specific fields: watchmaking, pharmaceuticals, banking, all with strong roots in practical experience.
The impact is tangible and measurable: "In some watchmaking workshops, craftsmen used to spend up to 30 minutes a day searching for components. With our systems, they now spend less than three minutes a day. In the pharmaceutical industry, the same principle applies to compiling samples," explains Frédéric Alimi.
Each solution is developed according to a simple principle: streamlining operations without ever complicating existing processes. "Integration is our business. We capture data automatically, we bring fluidity, we transform intuition into concrete, actionable information," summarizes François Schmitt.
Meeting business challenges
The current economic environment places ever-increasing demands on leading companies. In an increasingly competitive international market, optimization is no longer an option but a condition for survival. "The main requirement is efficiency. Companies must increase productivity to remain competitive. Our audits, automated reports, and intelligent data capture offer a real advantage," emphasizes the director.
Whether it's to streamline the supply chain, optimize inventory, track product performance, or automate certain tasks, the Solid suite of tools is a strategic accelerator.
Flexibility that makes the difference
Solid operates in a highly competitive market, between international giants and small specialized companies. The group's strength? Being cutting-edge, agile, and deeply customized. "Our competitors are often either too big to be flexible or too small to have our expertise. We control the entire value chain, with a team of 20 experts and a 100% level of customization," explains Frédéric Alimi.
This approach allows us to build long-term relationships with our customers, based on trust and partnership, some of which have lasted for several decades. Our solutions adapt and connect to the evolving needs of our customers.
A real-life example: revolutionizing watch management
In watchmaking, a sector where every part is precious, Solid is bringing about a radical transformation. Thanks to smart cabinets and RFID, it is now possible to track every component, from assembly to the store. "Scanning 1,000 watches in five minutes is now a reality," explains the director.
This performance doesn't stop at stock: when goods arrive in store, reception is automated; during sales, Solid can link a watch to its salesperson, track the performance of the "selling ceremonial," or even identify "gems": unexpected favorite products. "Tracking an item gives you access to a gold mine of information. We rationalize intuition thanks to this collected data, and that can change everything!" insists François Schmitt.
Data as the engine of the future
Today, Solid operates in an almost unlimited field of application. Transportation, watchmaking, industry, healthcare, government: wherever information circulates, the company can provide precision and traceability. A future driven by continuous innovation and a deep conviction: this traceability will be the cornerstone of tomorrow's performance.
"We bring over 27 years of solid expertise, but above all, a vision. Data is no longer an accessory: it is a strategic tool. And we help companies collect it and turn it into a strength," concludes Frédéric Alimi.
