Our history

BY.O HAS CONSTANTLY BROADENED ITS SCOPE OF OPERATION SINCE ITS INCEPTION

  • In 2001, BY.O started out in business providing a training offer geared to purchasing organizations.

  • In 2003, it decided to extend its services offer to address all the issues faced by purchasing organizations (from defining strategy to setting up and deploying operational projects).

  • In 2006, BY.O began to target the public sector. Then in 2007, BY.O went international and opened offices in Europe, the US and China, establishing direct country footholds or through our partners.

  • In 2008, BY.O expanded further by taking part in the creation of CYMBI.O, which focuses on positioning strategies and business development.

  • In 2011, the company built a unique offer in business ecosystem development and BtoB relationship management.

  • In 2015, the studies and international consultancy firm, APEXAGRI was created. It was created out of the alliance between the Maïsadour agri-food cooperative and BY.O Group and specializes in creating farming supply chains.
