Consulting stops at the report.
Ten months after the committee,
the pilot is still a pilot,
the monthly close still takes three weeks,
and recommendation no. 3 is still waiting for its tender.
We deliver the solution.
What the report recommended, we build and install on your servers, reconciled to the dirham with your accounts. Then we hand the code over to your teams, trained.
The screens that follow are illustrations, with fictitious figures that stay consistent from one screen to the next. The chain itself is real: we delivered it in 2026 for an insurance company.
The matrix becomes a steering screen.
The report’s first two use cases, built. Every morning the screen recalculates and reconciles with your accounts. It approves nothing: you do.
At the client’s, every morning at 07:02
Change the month, filter an entity, open a tile. Then approve: the decision is yours.

The roadmap becomes an installation log.

Already delivered in 2026
One team, from the boardroom to the code: frame on your official figures, build and install on your premises, hand over.
On their servers
An insurance company
Performance management relied on an Excel workbook fed by hand from underwriting and the accounts.
An application installed on their servers recalculates the dashboard at every data drop, to the dirham. Code, documentation and training handed over.
In the executive committee
An international automotive supplier
An executive committee that wanted to know where to start with generative AI, in the service of operational excellence.
Hands-on training for the committee in Tangier, on its own processes, tools in hand. The relationship continues directly.
No client names, no prices: that is the rule, for them as for you.
Three questions to ask your CIO. With or without us.
-
“Are our management figures reconciled with the accounts, and who approves them?”
A good answer: to the dirham, every month, by a named person, on a recorded date.
-
“Where would the solution run, and what data would leave our premises?”
A good answer: on our servers, and none.
-
“If the provider stops tomorrow, who runs the code?”
A good answer: our teams, with the code and the documentation in hand.
A first 30-minute conversation.
Bring a question from your committee. We tell you what we would deliver, how long it would take, and what would be yours.
You will speak with Nabil EL MAHYAOUI, founding director. A graduate of École polytechnique who worked in investment banking in Paris, he has founded two companies.
