Semsoft Lestr Solution

We are driven by technology. Semsoft is a French technology company founded in 2009, originally a spin-off from Orange Labs and the result of 10 years of INRIA research in data fusion and artificial intelligence. We spent several years applying our technology to support large international groups in economic intelligence (e.g,Pernod Ricard, Total) and financial intelligence (e.g,Tracfin, BNP Paribas) initiatives. … and we are driven by passion. In 2018, we met with HSBC France, which at the time was implementing a remediation plan following an OFAC sanction and was required to review the compliance processes of its trade finance activity. Together, we co-developed LESTR, a trade risk intelligence software solution. The project sparked our fascination for maritime transport and the detection of illicit activities concealed within international trade flows, leading us to make this our primary focus.
