Ferpection, a French company active in User Research since
2014, will join UNGUESS's orbit starting from the first half of
2024, marking the birth of a new European leader in the market of
User Experience research and Software Quality
MILAN, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- UNGUESS (unguess.io), the first platform in
Italy to use crowdtesting
methodology to conduct tests and obtain relevant and effective
feedback from a real user community, has announced the creation of
a leading European group in the fields of Quality and UX
research through the acquisition of Ferpection, the expert
UX Research consultancy active in the French market with a
high-profile client portfolio, with brands such as Air France,
Clarins, L'Oréal, LVMH, Matmut, SANEF.
This initiative aims to strengthen UNGUESS's presence in
France, expanding its commercial
network and enhancing Ferpection's product offerings by leveraging
the Quality and Security services provided by UNGUESS. Ferpection's
clients will also benefit from UNGUESS's platform and
technological architecture, utilizing its dynamic and global
crowd for tester recruiting. In addition, Ferpection will bring to
the partnership its robust expertise in impact-driven
solutions for businesses focusing on CSR, including
eco-conception, inclusivity, and accessibility.
"We are very excited to have Ferpection as our strategic partner
in the French market" commented Luca
Manara, CEO of UNGUESS. "They've been leading the UX
Research market in France and
relentlessly creating value for their customers both in
France and at an international
level. We were looking for a team of like-minded experts that will
help carry the torch from UNGUESS and benefit from our ambitions to
go even further. This operation undoubtedly represents a
significant step in our international expansion plan — a step that
would not have been possible without the continued trust of our
investors in the Series B funding round of over 10 million
completed last January".
"When we met Luca and the team at UNGUESS - commented
Thibault Geenen, Founder and CEO
at Ferpection - we were surprised by what we could achieve
together on a European level. UNGUESS had pushed their platform
both in the QA and UX space. Meanwhile, we had, in the past year,
moved away from our platform to focus on services. It was like two
teams being re-united again. This is an element that more and more
customers are asking for. Before, you could provide the tech or the
services. The truth is that now customers need them both. Beyond
that, we are already seeing synergies around ur shared vision for
experience and quality solutions in Europe."
UNGUESS Figures
The completion of the acquisition of Ferpection follows a period
of robust development for UNGUESS, which saw record revenue and
orders in the first quarter of 2024, confirming the results
achieved in 2023 — a year that ended with organic growth of over
30%. The goal for 2024 is to exceed 10 million in turnover and
achieve operational breakeven. As Luca
Manara mentioned, UNGUESS had closed a funding round of over
€10M at the beginning of 2023, led by FITEC, with
participation from existing investors in the corporate structure,
notably P101 SGR with its two vehicles Programma 102 and
Italia 500, managed on behalf of Azimut, Italian Angels for Growth
(IAG), Club degli Investitori, and Club Italia Investimenti 2.
