Industrial engineering and IT consulting for manufacturing and enterprise clients
Vicinity is a Lyon-based consulting firm bridging industrial engineering and IT services for mid-market manufacturers and enterprises. The tech stack reveals a dual-track operation: heavy CAD/PLM depth (SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, NX, EPLAN) paired with enterprise infrastructure (VMware, Active Directory, Oracle) and Java/Spring backend systems. Active hiring (26 roles in 30 days, mostly engineering) suggests expansion of both poles, though pain points around profit-center profitability and new account acquisition signal execution challenges in scaling.
Vicinity provides consulting across two pillars: industrial engineering (mechanical design, special machinery studies, BIM methodology) and IT services (infrastructure, finance systems, digital transformation). Founded in 2020, the firm operates as an independent, employee-focused consulting house in Lyon. The customer base spans large enterprises and SMEs navigating technology and strategic projects. The engineering-heavy project roster—3D modeling, detailed plans, BIM deployment, cost optimization—combined with IT infrastructure work reflects a positioning as a full-stack technology partner for manufacturing-adjacent sectors.
