SignauxFaibles - Predictive analysis of business difficulties

The detection of weak signals, which indicate a deterioration in the company's situation, makes it possible to identify more early the companies on which support actions can be offered to the company manager. The innovations relate to: (1) The development of a detection algorithm that uses relevant data and variables and effectively detects companies in difficulty (URSSAF, DIRECCTE, Banque de France data, etc.); (2) The development of a data loading computer system capable of regularly and automatically refreshing data from operational databases. The objective is to dynamically detect 2 to 5 new SMEs per month on the scale of Bourgogne Franche-Comté. Expected impacts in terms of digital transformation: an even more effective decentralized State action to support weakened companies. Ultimately, it is a real “secure social network” centered on the company which will become the daily tool of public actors mobilized around companies in difficulty. Initiated in 2014 on a very local scale, the national deployment of Weak Signals was approved on April 3, 2019 thanks to the signing of an agreement by the historical partners of the project. This partnership allows the establishment of a long-term team that makes scaling possible.
