Sidetrade

Réside Etudes, a major French operator of urban serviced residences, has selected Aimie, an autonomous artificial intelligence agent developed by Sidetrade, to enhance its finance function. Aimie is designed to interact directly with customers, qualify invoices, and autonomously optimize collection strategies, addressing the limitations of manual or partially outsourced approaches in a high-volume, decentralized operational environment. The agentic AI transforms the Order-to-Cash cycle by delivering autonomous, contextualized calls, continuously learning from payment behaviors and real-time interactions, and integrating natively with the Sidetrade platform to automatically update strategies and dispute management without human intervention. Sidetrade, a global provider of AI-powered Order-to-Cash solutions listed on Euronext Growth, trained Aimie on a proprietary data lake of over 8,000 billion dollars in B2B transactions. The deployment aims to generate measurable cash flow gains, significantly reduce manual tasks, and allow finance teams to focus on higher-value activities.

Sidetrade reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 12% at constant scope, excluding the acquisition of SHS Viveon, to 1,886 tonnes of CO2 equivalent, while revenue rose 14% at constant exchange rates to 61.4 million euros. The company's carbon intensity per managed invoice fell 16.7% in 2025, following a 14.6% decline in 2024, and EBITDA reached 13.4 million euros, representing a 22% margin. The improvement was driven by a shift to a unified private cloud and FinOps practices that cut cloud infrastructure costs by more than 20%, with data center energy efficiency improving to a power usage effectiveness of 1.29. Sidetrade also strengthened its responsible AI governance, aligning with the EU AI Act, and maintained ISO/IEC 27001 certification along with SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II attestations, with no data breaches reported during the year.
