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.
