About

Building the tool commercial inland shipping deserves

FluviaPro is an independent French software vendor, founded in Charente-Maritime. Our mission: give self-employed bargees and inland shipowners the modern digital tools that other transport sectors have had for years.

Our mission

A product designed for the craft, not for the market

Inland transport moves more than 50 million tonnes per year in France and remains the lowest-carbon mode of transport. Yet its digital tools are 15 years behind road and maritime.

Existing software is either a sloppy adaptation of road logistics, or technical tools disconnected from the reality of the quay and the lock chamber. Shipowners juggle spreadsheets, paper and SMS for operations that deserve better.

FluviaPro is built from the wheelhouse of a self-propelled vessel, not from a Paris open-plan office. Every screen has been designed with bargees and shipowners who live their voyages every day.

The founders

Two complementary profiles, one common vision

Frédéric David

Founder

Thirty years in software development and architecture of critical business systems, ERP, market risk management, banking and industrial applications. After years of delivering complex platforms in regulated environments, he founds FluviaPro convinced that French commercial inland navigation finally deserves a first-class business tool.

Pascal Rottiers

Co-founder

Vice-President of Entreprises Fluviales de France (E2F) and President of the College of Artisan Bargees, he brings FluviaPro an intimate knowledge of commercial inland navigation, of the daily life of shipowners and of the operational challenges of the trade.
