For infrastructure resilience
The KERAN Group, a key French player in regional development serving people in harmony with the environment, is today announcing its strategic investment in LOGIROAD, a company specialising in innovative road asset management. This initiative marks a significant step forward in KERAN and LOGIROAD’s joint mission to strengthen the resilience of existing infrastructures while reducing their environmental impact.
LOGIROAD releases the SaaS platform Logiroad Center on behalf of local authorities. This allows you to quickly visualise the results of a network audit and identify exactly what maintenance work needs to be carried out. Capable of simulating the ageing of road infrastructure over a number of years, the logiroad-center tool, in conjunction with the company’s road experts, then delivers recommendations for personalised, costed multi-year works programmes, encouraging the transition from curative to preventive maintenance.
And reducing their environmental impact
Denis Pourlier-Cucherat, Managing Director of the KERAN Group, gives his views on this acquisition:
« Collecting data in cities and regions and utilising them properly is one of the keys to a successful ecological transition. Logiroad is well ahead of the game when it comes to collecting and using data and making the most of it using Artificial Intelligence. Through this investment, we aim above all to consolidate our position in digital tools for regional authorities. It will also enable us to strengthen our presence in the renovation and optimisation of existing infrastructures ».
Yann GOYAT, Chairman of LOGIROAD, shares this conviction:
« We are delighted with KERAN’s commitment to us. This collaboration will enable us to accelerate the development of intelligent solutions for the maintenance of road networks, improving their operational efficiency while optimising allocated budgets. »
