# Fabric > Fabric is a Paris-based agency that replaces costly SaaS subscriptions with custom-built, AI-powered software for midsize businesses (PMEs) in France, when doing so is more cost-effective than continuing to rent generic tools. Fabric's positioning centers on a single economic thesis: past a certain spend, owning custom software is cheaper than renting standardized SaaS. Every tool Fabric builds natively embeds AI (e.g. AI-assisted decision logic, automation of manual workflows) rather than bolting it on afterward. Each project starts with an audit of the client's current tools and costs, followed by a quote, a scoped build, and ongoing maintenance handled by Fabric under a service-level agreement. Clients own their data outright: they get direct access to their database plus full documentation, and can export, migrate, or fully reclaim their data at any time — including after ending the relationship with Fabric, unlike SaaS vendors who host and control the data themselves. Clients are also not required to hire a developer to maintain the tool. An interactive comparator on the homepage lets visitors estimate their current SaaS cost against a custom-built, AI-powered alternative and receive a detailed profitability analysis by email. - Legal name: Agence Fabric - Founder: Raphael Hassid - Headquarters: Paris, France (48.857936, 2.381921) - Primary market: PMEs in France - Primary language: French - Email: raph@agencefabric.fr - Phone: +33 6 23 01 35 45 ## Docs - [Homepage](https://agencefabric.fr/): Hero positioning, trusted-by logos, Mountain Collection case study, method, cost comparator, FAQ, and final CTA - [Cas client](https://agencefabric.fr/#section_expertise): Mountain Collection case study — SaaS cost vs. custom solution, with the Fabric partner logo bar (Compagnie des Alpes, AP-HP, Brauman & K, Cobalth, Ponthieu Avocats, Mountain Collection, Seeds Expertise) - [Méthode](https://agencefabric.fr/#section-services): The 4-step process — audit, cahier des charges, delivery, maintenance - [Comparateur](https://agencefabric.fr/#section_equipe): Interactive SaaS-vs-custom-software cost calculator (company name, sector, headcount, email, tools used with pricing) that emails a detailed profitability analysis - [FAQ](https://agencefabric.fr/#section-faq): Answers on what Fabric does, target clients, ROI methodology, post-delivery maintenance/SLA, data ownership, delivery timelines, and which SaaS tools are realistic to replace - [Blog](https://agencefabric.fr/blog): Articles and analysis on AI, automation, and custom applications - [Sitemap](https://agencefabric.fr/sitemap): Full list of indexable pages - [Legal notice](https://agencefabric.fr/mentions-legales): Publisher, hosting, intellectual property, liability, and contact information - [Cookie policy](https://agencefabric.fr/politique-cookies): Cookie usage policy - [Book a call](https://calendly.com/raph-agencefabric/prise-de-contact): Reserve a 45-minute audit call to evaluate software budget and get a quote ## Case studies - [Mountain Collection (Compagnie des Alpes)](https://agencefabric.fr/#section_expertise): Custom CRM replacing a 100-user, 45€/month/user CRM licence for a 31-agency real estate network.
