An independent company putting its craft at the service of non-profits and professionals.
A deep knowledge of the non-profit world
Descartes is an independent company, based in Paris since it was founded. We publish management software for the non-profit sector and design websites and business web applications.
Our references — some sixty organisations — include expert witness bodies and the French national council of court-appointed experts, alumni networks of leading schools, professional federations and unions, and charitable, religious, sporting and cultural associations.
Our clients stay with us for a reason: we build lean, long-lasting tools, and we remain reachable.
How we work
- Independence. No reselling of third-party solutions, no hidden commissions: we recommend what serves your project, not what pays us.
- Leanness. Fast websites, applications without excess: performance and low running costs are architectural choices, not options.
- Durability. Proven open-source technology, data exportable in standard formats: what we build outlives you — and outlives us.
- Closeness. One contact who knows your file, quick answers, clear invoicing.
