I would recommend ANSAM without hesitation. Beyond the quality of the guidance and advice, it's the consultants' responsiveness that makes the difference.

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.

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.
