Introduction to Dataverse
Dataverse is a Tunisian startup founded by three BIM and technology experts: Wissem Jerbi (CTO), Sonia Issaad (COO), and Mejdi Bouafif (CEO). The company positions itself as an innovative player in the Construction Tech industry, with the ambition of making complex technologies accessible and useful in the field.
The Challenge in the Construction Industry
In the construction sector, digital tools are often reserved for experts, resulting in:
- Fragmented communication
- Late detection of errors
- High costs
Dataverse provides a concrete solution to these challenges with its SaaS platform, Replic-A, which allows users to:
- Visualize 3D models in real-time
- Interact directly with the models through intelligent comments
- Automatically detect anomalies using artificial intelligence
Democratizing BIM Usage
The goal is clear: to democratize the use of BIM and make it exploitable, even for non-technical profiles. By centralizing exchanges around data, the solution improves coordination between stakeholders, limits errors, and reduces costs related to delays and misunderstandings.
International Presence
Dataverse is already present in several high-potential digitalization markets, including:
- France
- Benin
- Algeria
- Morocco
- Côte d'Ivoire
The startup currently has five clients, mainly specialized firms, spread across these regions. In 2025, Dataverse reported a turnover of 300,000 dinars and a team of 10 collaborators, with a gender parity, illustrating an agile structure in a growth phase.
Short-Term and Medium-Term Objectives
In the short term, the company plans to:
- Reinforce the development of Replic-A
- Accelerate customer acquisition in its current markets, particularly in France, Benin, and Côte d'Ivoire
In the medium term, Dataverse aims for scalable growth by:
- Developing a network of strategic partners
- Enriching its solutions using artificial intelligence
- Expanding into new markets in Africa and the Middle East
Long-Term Ambition
In the long term, the startup aims to become a reference player in the Construction Tech industry on emerging markets, with a progressive presence in Europe and internationally.
