It is in Soliers, in the heart of Calvados, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris, that one of the most remarkable chapters in the history of French e-commerce is being written. Financière IDM (SIREN 907 560 403), the holding company of a group now boasting a turnover of over €120 million , is thriving despite the economic downturn. In fact, it is riding the wave with a formidable strategy: “Smart Discount”.
Owner of the entities ID Market (for B2C distribution) and Sourcidys (for B2B sourcing), the group has built a commercial war machine capable of competing with the giants of the sector, while maintaining a strong territorial presence and family entrepreneurial values.
A Growth Architecture Validated by Investors
The strength of Financière IDM is not built on sand. The company has established a legal and capital structure worthy of major industrial groups. At the top, the holding company defines the strategy, presiding over IDM HOLDING , which in turn manages the operational arms.
This structural clarity, coupled with the certification of accounts by the prestigious firm Ernst & Young Audit , enabled the forging of a major strategic partnership. In November 2021, the investment fund LBO France , a leading private equity firm, acquired a stake in the company.
Far from being a mere financial transaction, this alliance has validated the relevance of the model. The original founders, Olivier Roor and Emmanuel Antunes , have reinvested significantly, sending a strong signal: the story is only just beginning.
The “Smart Discount”: A Rapidly Expanding Product Offer
At the heart of Financière IDM’s success lies its flagship brand: ID Market . The brand has captured the spirit of the times by offering a simple yet powerful promise: design accessible to all.
Democratizing Trends
Gone are the days when Scandinavian or industrial style was reserved for those with substantial budgets. ID Market has broken the mold by offering trendy furniture (sofas, tables, TV stands) at extremely competitive prices. This approach allows consumers to furnish their homes without breaking the bank.
A Complete Range for the Home and Garden
The product range has expanded considerably to cover all household needs:
- The Garden Universe: From garden furniture to greenhouses, including parasols and tools, ID Market has become a key player in outdoor living.
- Pet Supplies and Leisure: The company has successfully invested in promising niches such as cat trees, chicken coops, and sports equipment.
- Strategic Diversification: The group continually explores new horizons such as technical DIY or home automation, thereby increasing the lifetime value for its customers
This wide product range is supported by a powerful omnichannel distribution strategy. In addition to its own website ( idmarket.com ), the brand has a strong presence on leading marketplaces (Amazon, Cdiscount, ManoMano), thus capturing massive traffic.
Sourcidys: The Industrial and “Data-Driven” Engine
If ID Market shines in the public eye, it’s thanks to the operational excellence of its twin sister, Sourcidys . This B2B entity is the cornerstone of the group’s profitability.
Sourcidys uses predictive analytics (data mining) to analyze web trends in real time. It doesn’t import products; it identifies emerging demand and designs the perfect product to meet it. By operating without intermediaries through its purchasing offices in Asia, Sourcidys guarantees the lowest “ex-factory” prices.
This expertise also allows Sourcidys to offer advanced Dropshipping services to its B2B partners, ensuring direct delivery to the end customer.
Normandy as a Logistics Rear Base
Unlike intangible “pure players,” Financière IDM has opted for tangible assets. Located near the ports of Le Havre and Rouen, the group’s logistics hub in Calvados is ideally situated.
The group is investing heavily in its infrastructure, notably with the delivery in February 2025 of a new 14,800 m² logistics platform in Caen. Designed in partnership with SHEMA, this building is targeting BREEAM environmental certification .
The management of these real estate assets demonstrates remarkable financial acumen. By employing sale and leaseback strategies, such as the sale of a warehouse for €13.1 million, the group frees up cash to finance its growth while ensuring the security of its operations.
A Committed and Responsible Company (CSR)
The economic performance of Financière IDM is accompanied by a clear societal vision:
- Logistics Ecology: Optimizing packaging to reduce empty space in parcels and decrease the number of trucks on the road
- Local Roots: As an official partner of Stade Malherbe Caen (SMC) , the company associates its image with the values of Normandy’s team sport.
- Employer Brand: Experiencing strong growth, the group is a net job creator in the region
Conclusion: Heading towards Europe
With consolidated revenue exceeding €120 million and a regular appearance on Les Échos’ “Growth Champions” list, Financière IDM has reached a new level. Leveraging its integrated model, the company is now looking towards Europe with the ambition of exporting its “Smart Discount” model to Spain, Italy, and Germany.
