Turning a challenge into an opportunity, MAYA is the new digital tool that reconciles efficiency, sustainability and high performance.
Maya was born with the ambition to develop a tool able to respond to today’s challenges and set new standards allowing site managers and land owners to adapt, secure their future, and increase their efficiency.
The ultimate digital one-stop shop which gathers all your data into one place, and deliver key and easy-to-understand insights. We believe in the power of data-driven decision making and our ambition is to revolutionise the industry by putting technology and data at the heart of the business.
Increased accuracy, higher efficiency and optimised management, three simple objectives that are at the heart of our concerns and which motivates MAYA’s development day after day.
Founder
An engineer, optimist and passionate about nature, Valentine is convinced that it is innovation that will allow us to find sustainable solutions to today’s climate challenges. In the context of her final thesis, in 2020, Valentine discovered the world of golf and its realities.
Looking at the issue of water and the search for solutions to increase the water autonomy of a golf course, she discovers the relevance of data in golf courses and more generally in the world of sports grounds and green spaces.
New legislation, reduced maintenance margins, climatic uncertainties, the world of green spaces fascinates her and in October 2021, after a year of working very closely with greenkeepers and many lively conversations with members of the maintenance teams, MAYA was born.
5 pilot sites and one year of development later, MAYA is now THE platform that puts innovation at the heart of the grounds and reconciles today’s challenges with tomorrow’s sustainable ambitions.
