Our story
To create something truly innovating that also has a positive impact on the natural environment — these were the drivers that led us to develop the first solutions at Smart’N’Go. Our products improve working practices in a smart way and combine both Information Technology and the essential skills and know-how of sector professionals. Our mission was to innovate with Big Data solutions for our clients for whom this knowledge is not at the heart of their work.
Once we were clear about our foundations, our building phase began with the development of our first solution to optimize maritime routing. With Manta, our aim was to create a solution that was as much innovative as it was robust and well thought through. But beyond the products themselves, it was in fact an entire Smart’N’Go ecosystem that we were putting in place – one based on action, progress and internal evolution.
We remain open to new ideas and have established partnerships with parties who share our values. We encourage and support the success of others who, like us, want to do better and to create, and we hold close to our hearts the rigorous methodologies that are essential for the development of our solutions.
Each day sees us carrying on building the adventure that is Smart’N’Go with determination, ambition and passion.

Mehdi Halitim

With a background in algorithm science and Information Technology, my goal was to apply these to a business venture. Now identified and thanks to a technical, strategic and entrepreneurial outlook, plus an ability to create a correctly skilled team, I am totally focused on the success of the company and of those I work with.
Matthew Rives
CMO/CFO
An expert in Information Technologies, Innovation is at the very center of my competencies. Always aiming towards improving the status quo, I see many opportunities where digital meets maritime shipping. My goal is to offer solutions that shake up preconceived ideas in a bid to bring about improved efficiency.
Lucas Alayrac
Maritime engineer
After working as a long-distance seaman, I retrained in Information Development. Today, being part of the Smart’N’Go team allows me to combine both these areas of competencies, informing solutions with the broad range of challenges I needed to manage when at sea.
We are totally convinced that the natural environment is an investment for the future and that there is a clear crossover between economics and environmental protection.
Innovation
At Smart’N’Go, innovation is about being intrepid, proactive and to always anticipate in order to achieve efficiency gains and offer robust solutions. For this, we depend on scientific rigor and public partnerships to position ourselves at the very forefront of technological developments.
These are also the core values that inform our internal working practices. We reward achievement and initiative, because knowledge and ideas are made to be shared. We optimize our working practices to be ever more efficient and to produce work of an ever better quality. We believe in the potential of the individual.
