Agency in Paris
Process automation for Paris-based SMEs and freelancers
Elma Lab is an automation agency based in Paris. We help Paris freelancers, small businesses and SMEs take repetitive work out of their day: lead generation, inbound requests, quotes and invoices, reporting, onboarding. We start from the way you already work, map it, then build the tool that extends it. It adapts to your habits, not the other way around.
Book an intro callWhere and how we work
Elma Lab is based in Paris and led by Marie Chauvois, an automation consultant. Whether you are in the capital or elsewhere, you know in advance how the engagement runs.
On-site audit workshops in Paris
The audit starts by understanding how your business really runs. In Paris, we can hold the workshops at your premises, close to your tools and your habits.
Remote, across Europe
If you are not in Paris, the engagement runs remotely, anywhere in Europe. Workshops, mockup and follow-up are organised without any travel.
One method, wherever you are
In Paris or elsewhere, the path is the same: a discovery call, a fixed-price audit, then the platform if the project makes sense for you.
A three-step method
Every engagement follows the same path, from the free 30-minute discovery call to the delivered platform. The fixed-price audit lets you validate the project on a mockup before any development, then decide what comes next with full knowledge.

Case study
A Paris example: Manon Sassy
Manon Sassy is an independent casting director in Paris. She used to prepare her client presentations in 4 to 5 hours; she now does it in 15 minutes, thanks to a custom platform built around the way she works.
She recovers 3 to 4 h each week, and her mental load shifted like this: 7/10 → 3/10. These figures are declared by Manon Sassy. They show what well-targeted automation changes for someone who works alone.
