Product Owner

Founded in 2001, Nomadis is a company that specializes in workforce logistics as well as the logistics of health services in remote areas.

Through our involvement in several projects in Nunavik and Nunavut, we have encountered significant challenges in managing travel and accommodation for Indigenous communities. Our software solutions were born out of the need to provide a more reliable, innovative and cost-effective solution to address these challenges.

Today, Nomadis helps organizations around the world reduce the costs and risks associated with workforce management, travel and accommodation. We provide consulting and integration services to streamline our clients' business processes and ensure they are equipped to meet their goals and commitments.
