Netiket is a simple and cost-effective software suite for small and medium-size organisations, with a focus on sustainability, open standards, and control over data.
Based 100% on free / open source software, it is hosted in the European Union and offered as a commercial service by Argeo GmbH in order to optimise the deployment and usage of the software Argeo has been developing for more than 15 years.
The service is already in production for a restricted number of customers, and progressively scaling up. Our focus during this phase is on monitoring and reporting systems (ESG, carbon compensation and biodiversity, policy analysis or social sciences databases). If you think that your organisation could benefit from such a system, please contact Mathieu Baudier directly on LinkedIn. We can customise the software suite and provide you with a sustainable enterprise system at a fraction of the overall cost of proprietary solutions or consumer-grade open source technologies.
This system's focus is agroforestry (the improvement of agricultural productivity via the planting of fertilising trees within monocultures) for small-scale farmers. One of its strengths is also real-time, privacy-aware, reporting to multiple donors. It has been in production since 2021 and has scaled since 2024 across six Western African countries.
The data gathered (precise field perimeter exportable in geographical data formats, breakdown per tree species, lifecycle of the trees) is designed to be used for carbon compensation certification, and has been validated as such.
It is a cost-efficient customisation of Netiket software deployed for APAF, the main French agroforestry NGO, in constant dialogue with their local teams in Africa.

As part of OpenHeritage, a major research project in urbanism financed by the European Union across multiple countries, Netiket provides since 2022 the database of "heritage re-use observatory cases", which is publicly accessible online. These studies of successful urban revitalisation projects can be quickly filtered via a rich set of categories and keywords and displayed as a multimedia time line.
Apart of course from the design and the metadata, this system is a direct deployment of Netiket software without further customisation, and can therefore be used for other kind of research databases at a very low cost. The content is entirely structured in the DocBook standard, a mature and comprehensive publication format, and can thus easily be re-used with other tools and systems.
