Customer stories

Three typical profiles,
three benefits to expect.

Scope is in pre-launch, so rather than fabricating testimonials we are publishing three usage scenarios modeled on the real pre-sales costs observed in French IT services firms in 2025. The figures are estimates, not contractual commitments.

  Marc côté direction métier va vouloir
  son mot à dire surtout sur le POC IA.

[14:24:11] Marc Lefèvre (Octovia)
  Le POC IA c'est sur les 80k compteurs
  IDF c'est ça ?

[14:24:42] Aurélie
  Oui voilà, prédire les fuites avant

Methodology behind the figures

The percentages and hours saved are computed from an average internal cost observed in French IT services firms (senior day rate €700–€900, average traditional scoping duration of 2 to 3 weeks weighted by 10–30% of billable time). Once we have pilot customers willing to share their real numbers, this page will be updated with their names and metrics.

Case 01Mid-size consultancy scenario

Mid-size consultancy of 50 people — 4 to 6 RFPs per month

Sector
IT services (web, data, mobile)
Size
50 employees

The challenge

A mid-size consultancy receives 4 to 6 RFPs per month. Each scoping mobilizes two senior consultants for 2 to 3 weeks, on top of their delivery workload. The usual outcome: one response in two ships late, and those that ship on time are written over the weekend.

The solution

Business plan with 15 seats covering pre-sales, commercial and delivery. Day-rate matrix configured by profile and tech stack (React, Java, data, design), internal templates imported, one-hour onboarding workshop to align the 10 to 15 active users.

Results

Scoping time recovered (modeled)
≈ 240 hrs/yr

Case 02Consulting boutique scenario

12-person consulting boutique — double capacity without hiring

Sector
Product strategy and delivery consulting
Size
12 employees

The challenge

A small consulting boutique regularly turns down opportunities for lack of senior bandwidth. Each partner spends 6 to 8 hours per week writing scoping notes, all of it non-billable time.

The solution

Team plan with 5 seats (the partners and the head of sales). Simple workflow: discovery call, transcript via a transcription tool, Scope generation, partner review, send within 48 hours.

Results

Briefs scoped per month (modeled)

Case 03B2B scale-up scenario

B2B scale-up — align Sales and Solutions Engineering

Sector
B2B software with integration services
Size
100 to 200 employees

The challenge

Sales and Solutions Engineering work in silos. Estimates diverge between the commercial promise and the integration reality, which leads to end-of-cycle renegotiations and erodes margins.

The solution

Enterprise plan with SSO and SCIM, rolled out to all Account Executives and Solutions Engineers. Shared estimating reference per module, webhook integration with the CRM to attach each proposal to its opportunity.

Results

Closing renegotiations (target)
≈ −30%
Day rates and work packages shared Sales / SE
Single reference
