Since its creation in 2016, Spottt has established itself as a key player in the field of event management. This innovative company offers high-performance software solutions for industry professionals. Thanks to an approach focused on technical quality and customer satisfaction, Spottt has been able to develop products tailored to the specific needs of the events industry.
Recognized expertise in the event industry
Spottt has developed cutting-edge expertise in the field of event organization. Its two flagship products, MyBrocante and Planexpo, testify to its ability to meet the varied needs of the sector. MyBrocante focuses on the management of flea markets and garage sales, while Planexpo is dedicated to the organization of trade shows.
The company has adapted to the challenges posed by the health crisis of 2020. Faced with the impossibility of organizing physical events, Spottt demonstrated its agility by developing an innovative virtual offering. This responsiveness resulted in the creation of interactive 3D mappings, enabling organizers to maintain activity despite the restrictions.
The quality of Spottt’s solutions is based on several key factors:
- Constant technological monitoring
- Careful attention to user feedback
- A continuous product improvement process
- A multidisciplinary team of experts

Planexpo, meanwhile, offers a complete suite of tools for organizing trade shows. From planning to exhibitor management and ticketing, this solution covers the entire event process. The integration of 3D mapping functionalities enables organizers to offer immersive virtual experiences, particularly appreciated in the post-pandemic context.

The post-COVID recovery has been marked by renewed interest in the solutions offered by Spottt, notably MyBrocante.

The four co-founders – Cathy Gros-Gaudenier (CEO), Diane Manière, Philippe Martinez (CTO) and Anthony Gros-Gaudenier (COO) – have surrounded themselves with a wide range of talents to build an innovative and dynamic company.
Today, the Spottt team is made up of complementary profiles, including :
