Founded in 1984, Hardis Group is a consulting and IT services company, a Salesforce integrator and a software publisher for logistics.

Our ambition is to accelerate the transformation of our clients' commerce, supply chain and information systems. We draw on our three core businesses to support them in their strategic, organisational and technological transformations.

We firmly believe that the key to helping our clients transform and grow is to create ever more value around cloud technologies (applications, platforms and infrastructure), data (AI, machine learning, connected objects, etc.) and automation (robots, drones, RPA, and more).
