Our story
Numea, the second chapter of SolutionStat
Why Numea? Numea comes from the amalgamation of Numbers, the essence of our work, and of Numéa, a small paradise on Earth and capital of New Caledonia where we were called to go in 2012 for our expertise. This place reflects that data science is far from being monotonous and boring for us.
Originally called SolutionStat, the company was founded in 2010 and specialized in statistical consulting and training. Ten years later, the heart of the company is still the same, but the emergence of new needs in the market has led to the arrival of new expertise.
Formerly focused on data science, our rationale now becomes data enhancement, ranging from : Modeling, visualization, insights, strategic advices, training… Our offer is diversifying to better support you in your business decisions.
Our mission
Your data simplified, your data in action.
We help our customers improve their performance and customer experience using data. We make using data simple, concrete, efficient and impactful.
Our collaborative approaches
Plan
Assess where analytics can take you
We help you to plan your analytical path according to your goals and current capabilities. A good plan requires a combination of quick wins and promising projects that will make a difference in the medium and long term.
Prepare
Make sure you have a solid foundation
Modelling is the tip of the iceberg. Data validation, data organization and data governance are fundamental to any data science project. Depending on the project, external data must also be integrated.
Understand
Make an informed diagnosis
Before taking action and making a decision, make sure you have an accurate picture of the situation. To achieve this, we can evaluate your current performance, build a portrait of your customers and their behaviours.
Act
Integrate AI into your operations
Automatic Machine learning models algorithms are only of value if they are used. Our rigorous approach ensures that you have the optimal model to meet your needs and that it is revised as needed.
Measure
Gut feeling is not enough
There are thousands and thousands of traps when it comes to measuring. We’ll help you identify the right indicators and the right approach to reach valid conclusions. We will also help you implement a “test and learn” culture.
