Aliznet joins Adone Conseil, Magellan Partners Group
Adone Conseil (Magellan Partners Group) strengthens its position
in the retail sector with the acquisition of Aliznet.
Paris, 27 November 2025 – The retail sector is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by the rise of digital commerce, new omnichannel consumer expectations and increasing regulatory constraints. Faced with these challenges, retailers need partners capable of combining business expertise, IT support and strategic vision.
It is in this context that Adone Conseil, a subsidiary of the Magellan Partners Group specialising in consulting for the luxury and retail sectors, announces the acquisition of Aliznet, a consulting firm specialising in the retail sector.
This merger enables Adone Conseil to strengthen its position in this rapidly changing sector and to assert its ambition as the European leader in management and IT consulting in the luxury and retail sectors.
The new group will operate under the Adone Conseil brand, while maintaining the proximity and values upheld by Aliznet.
Responding to a growing need for professional specialisation in the market
The retail sector is undergoing profound change, marked by the rise of omnichannel retailing, the digitisation of points of sale, supply chain optimisation and the growing importance of data and compliance issues. In this context, distributors are no longer looking for ‘generalist’ consulting firms, but rather partners capable of verticalising their offerings and gaining an in-depth understanding of their clients’ business challenges.
The merger between Adone Conseil and Aliznet is part of this dynamic: it responds to this growing demand for specialisation by combining dual expertise in business and IT, ensuring comprehensive and relevant support.
Aliznet, a leading French player in retail consulting
Founded in 2013, Aliznet has more than 60 expert consultants, combining business skills and IT know-how, and generates turnover of €8 million.
The company has established itself as a trusted partner for major groups in the specialist retail, cosmetics and wholesale sectors.
Its expertise covers the entire value chain: supply chain, finance, purchasing, digital commerce, stores, IT and data. Aliznet also draws on several centres of excellence (IS/ERP consulting, connected commerce, data, supply chain) and a perfect command of leading digital solutions such as Akeneo, Centric, Salesforce, Sitecore, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SAP. With a recognised management team, Aliznet provides 360° expertise to its clients and partners.
A European leader in management and IT consulting in the luxury and retail sectors
Founded in 2007, Adone Conseil, a subsidiary of Magellan Partners, has enjoyed 18 years of continuous growth and has established itself as a leading player in France and internationally, with offices in Paris, Geneva, Milan and London. Historically positioned in the luxury, fashion, cosmetics, watchmaking, tourism and specialised distribution sectors, Adone Conseil brings an international dimension and recognised experience to this merger. Aliznet, for its part, enriches the new entity with its retail specialisation, its proximity to major distributors and its technical and operational expertise.
The synergies at the heart of the industrial project behind this merger guarantee:
- Extensive sector coverage
- A unique 360° offering providing comprehensive support from strategic consulting to operational implementation
