French startup Aletiq has secured €6 million (approximately $6.5 million) in funding led by Point Nine to advance its SaaS platform designed for product lifecycle management (PLM) in industrial sectors such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and luxury goods.

While established PLM providers like Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes, and Siemens dominate the market with complex, on-premise solutions tailored for large enterprises such as Airbus or PSA, Aletiq targets mid-sized manufacturers and SMEs with a more intuitive, cloud-based alternative. CEO Geoffrey Ricard explained that these traditional systems are “very heavy and time-consuming to deploy,” often requiring extensive resources.

Aletiq’s platform serves as a centralized hub for product data, including CAD files, specifications, and quality standards, integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise tools like CAD and ERP software. Its SaaS model allows for quick deployment—typically within months—helping companies achieve ROI rapidly.

Beyond internal workflow improvements, the platform supports supply chain traceability and collaborative co-design through dedicated supplier portals, enabling manufacturers to share information securely with partners.

Since its 2019 launch, Aletiq has grown to over 5,000 users across 10 countries, counting major industrial players like Safran, Hutchinson, and Lisi Group among its clients. Alongside Point Nine, investors Entropy Industrial and several notable business angels have backed the company’s expansion.
