About Challandes & Fils

Challande & Fils SA is a family business active for over 70 years in building materials for structural and finishing work, plus kitchens, tools and fit-out.

The starting point: making better use of data to decide

Amid a strong evolution of its activities and tools, Challande & Fils' management wanted to make better use of its data to steer its sales strategy and digital projects. Recommended by an external consultant, ANSAM was brought in to structure and analyze the company's data, then support several transformation projects.

The challenge: turning scattered data into strategy

  • Move from historical management to steering based on precise segmentation of client and product data.

  • Modernize the operational infrastructure with an integrated digital ecosystem.

  • Gain a relevant analysis of the company's potential through an in-depth study of its processes.

  • Support the significant human impact of changing daily tools.

The solution: ERP, Power BI and a data-driven approach

Together with the ANSAM group, Challande & Fils carried out a complete overhaul of its digital architecture:

  • Implementation of a new high-performance ERP, paired with an EDM and an extranet.

  • Data-driven steering via Power BI (real-time performance cockpits).

  • A data-driven sales strategy: coherent discount structures based on each client's history and potential.

  • Local hands-on support for IT hardware and helpdesk.

 

The impact: teams freed from complexity, ready for what's next

  • A local partnership that eases understanding of needs and enables fast intervention.

  • Teams freed from technical complexity to focus on their core business.

  • Updated processes that prepare the company for future challenges, like e-commerce.

  • Proactive analysis that turns technology challenges into concrete strategic opportunities.
