Primo keeps track of your fleet of devices and can then help you manage it without a dedicated IT manager.<\/p>\n Headline and Global Founders Capital are leading the funding round, with several business angels also participating, such as Arthur Waller, Romain Niccoli, Ilana Elbaz, Josef Bovet, Matthieu Birach and Romain Libeau.<\/p>\n Small companies usually don\u2019t have a dedicated IT team. They tend to hire their first IT manager when they reach 200 or 300 employees. Before that, it\u2019s a mess. Some people in the team are \u201cpretty good with computers\u201d and can fix minor issues. For heavy-duty tasks, companies often rely on outsourced IT.<\/p>\n When there\u2019s a new hire, someone from the HR or admin teams will make sure that the new employee has everything they need to get started. It often involves ordering a new computer, adding a reference number to a spreadsheet, emailing the outsourced IT person so that they can grant access to internal tools, etc.<\/p>\n \u201cThe complexity of IT has completely changed \u2014\u00a0it has become operational. When someone joins the team, there are 35 tasks to do,\u201d Primo co-founder and CEO Martin Pannier told me. It\u2019s a time-consuming process and chances are the task list is not even up to date.<\/p>\n Primo wants to be the companion SaaS for small companies. It currently has four different modules that should speed up and rationalize IT tasks.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone has become an accidental IT manager. It has a lot of advantages. One, it\u2019s free. Two, it\u2019s super agile and responsive,\u201d Pannier said.<\/p>\n First, Primo can simplify how your company manages laptops and other devices. Instead of ordering from different websites and manually keeping track of devices in a spreadsheet, Primo users can order new laptops from Primo\u2019s dashboard.<\/p>\n As Primo is connected to several HR information systems, it\u2019s easy to see which laptop belongs to which employee. This module is free and acts as the top of the funnel when it comes to customer acquisition for the SaaS platform. Primo customers pay the retail price for new laptops while the startup takes a cut thanks to wholesale pricing.<\/p>\n Second, Primo helps you manage devices remotely. For this module, the company works with Hexnode<\/a>, a mobile device management (MDM) company. But instead of showcasing a ton of options to the end customers, Primo is focusing on the needs of small companies.<\/p>\n The default configuration is already quite opinionated and should cover the vast majority of use cases. The laptop display is locked after five minutes, local storage is encrypted by default, automatic updates are enabled, etc. Customers can also use Primo\u2019s MDM module to deploy apps on the employees\u2019 laptops.<\/p>\n
\nPrimo is the IT tool for companies that are too small for an IT manager<\/br>
