About Us

Our Story

Activating Data Since 2010

Founded as SolutionStat, Numea now builds on more than 15 years of expertise in turning data into business value. What began with statistical consulting and training has grown into a complete offering in data science and artificial intelligence—serving as a growth engine for our clients. 

Why the name Numea? It comes from a fusion of Numbers, the essence of our work, and Nouméa, a paradise destination that became part of our journey in 2012. A reminder that, for us, data science is anything but boring!  

Our mission

Your data simplified, your data in action.

At Numea, we believe data and AI should remain accessible and practical, no matter your level of analytical maturity. We give you the tools to take back control of your data and unlock its full potential. 

Why Numea?

Tailored, not generic

Statistics, BI, data science, and AI — we master the full spectrum. The result? We recommend the best solution, not the trendiest one.

No generic solutions — everything is tailor-made.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all formulas. Our solutions are tailored to your real needs—more flexible, and often more cost-effective than “turnkey” options.

No internal tech team required

We adapt to your tools, your teams, and your priorities. We make AI accessible—even without internal resources in your company. 

No jargon, just results

We speak your language and deliver what matters: time saved, smoother processes, and smarter decisions. 

ROI and transparency

Every project is designed to generate value. If we don’t see ROI, we’ll tell you—even if it’s not in our favor. 

Human support, not a faceless platform

We guide you step by step, train your teams, and stay by your side. You are never left alone.

Multi-industry expertise

Finance, insurance, agriculture, marketing, government, with unrivaled know-how in retail customer data. 

Trust-based relationships

For over 15 years, clients have stayed with us because we listen, stay transparent, and co-create useful solutions.
