Our alma & primo services

Let's work together

Each network is unique. Our approach is collaborative, agile, and user-centered. We can start with a pilot project or move forward step by step. The main thing is to create tools that reflect you and work from day one.

Custom solutions for modern libraries

We help libraries make the most of Alma and Primo. Instead of replacing your tools, we design solutions that naturally integrate into your environment. The goal: to save you time, reduce errors, and improve the experience for both your teams and your users.

Optimize your use of Alma

Thanks to our expertise, we develop services that adapt to your internal processes, with a particular focus on reliability and simplicity. Among the services we offer:

  • Unified login via Alma, no new credentials required

  • Automation of recurring tasks (management of calendars, locations, loans, inventories)

  • Interfaces dedicated to librarians to simplify complex operations

  • Validation and monitoring tools to limit errors and enhance transparency

  • Custom modules according to your specific needs

These solutions are designed for library networks that need consistency, coordination, and visibility over their activities.

A better experience for your users

We also develop modern interfaces, compatible with web and mobile, to make the library more accessible, intuitive, and engaging:

  • Simple and visual search engine

  • 3D interactive map to navigate physical spaces

  • Centralized access to digital resources (ebooks, databases, videos, podcasts)

  • Room reservation from the interface

  • Agenda of cultural and academic events

  • Anonymized statistics to better understand usage

These tools are fully compatible with Alma, Primo, Koha, or RERO ILS, and can be seamlessly integrated into your existing system.

A recognized expertise

We have designed and deployed platforms for networks like Renouvaud, and regularly collaborate with international organizations such as WHO, IMD, or MasterCard. We know how to adapt our tools to complex environments, and we commit to concrete, stable, and scalable results.

For libraries using Alma who want to save (a lot) of time.

Alma is powerful. But it can quickly become time-consuming.
Processes are sometimes lengthy, technical, or simply too repetitive.

No need to replace your tools: we integrate into your environment, adapt to your practices, and build around your real needs.
