Total Specific Solutions ("TSS") has acquired Operis, a specialist in digital solutions for local authorities. With this acquisition, Groupe TSS adds urban planning, a new specialization, to its portfolio for the local government vertical in France. Operis is the 22nd company to join our group in the French-speaking region.
Operis offers urban planning authorization management tools designed for instructors and directors, supporting daily management of urban planning and land files while providing regulatory compliance guidance. This includes a digital planning permit portal that enables fully paperless processing of planning permissions. The portal is a modular solution that serves all stakeholders (citizens, professionals, permitting authorities, and consulting services).

Othman Ghannam, General Manager at TSS: "Groupe TSS continues to grow each year, and with Operis joining us, we further strengthen our local government portfolio. Urban planning is a key service where software solutions and integrated processes help stakeholders work efficiently. I am pleased to welcome one of France’s leading urban planning solution providers to our group. Together with Cosoluce, Tribofilm and SRCI we offer a robust product portfolio for local government. Operis brings 30 years of experience serving local authorities. At TSS, we prioritize customer satisfaction and retention, values shared by Operis.
Portfolio Leader Laurent Salvatore and I will introduce Managing Director Elodie Le Bris and the Operis team to our TSS and CSI colleagues. This will be an excellent opportunity to exchange best practices in client management and familiarize our new colleagues with our proven approaches to running successful software companies. We look forward to supporting their business growth and expanding our solution portfolio for the local government sector.”

Elodie Le Bris, Managing Director: "Operis is a leading urban planning software provider with over 30 years of experience. We have long-standing clients and a deep understanding of our market and its needs. Our solutions serve as collaborative tools, bringing together all urban planning stakeholders in a shared vision of continuous improvement. We aim to continue our growth, and the support of a large software company enables our next steps. TSS is a perpetual owner, providing us with the right structure for the future. TSS values knowledge sharing, which is central to their culture. We will benefit from Groupe TSS’s best practices, gaining new insights and inspiration for our future. At the same time, we will continue to operate as Operis, maintaining the commercial identity we have built over 30 years, and which is recognized by our employees, clients, and the market.
My team and I look forward to working with Othman Ghannam, Laurent Salvatore, and the TSS team as we begin a new chapter for Operis within Groupe TSS."
