Company profile
The Blachère Group
The Blachère Group was founded in 1985. Initially specializing in fruit and vegetable distribution, it was in 2004 that the bakery business was officially launched and the Marie Blachère brand emerged.
The network of bakeries and greengrocers has an international presence, even though its main activity remains in France. The group is driven by one ambition: to offer fresh, high-quality products, thanks to authentic know-how and supported by very rapid growth in its network of points of sale (+50/year).
Key challenges for the Blachère Group
The path to optimization
Number of points of sale, with strong growth
With strong growth in the number of stores and sales, having visibility into the costs of each type of intervention, and challenging service providers to set up relevant framework agreements is now essential for the group.
Non-centralized data and duplicates
To optimize operations, it is essential for the company to limit re-entry by each person working in the SMD unit, with centralized information accessible to everyone.
.
Poor visibility of interventions
With a quality objective, having a comprehensive view of all corrective interventions and automatically scheduling preventive interventions seems indispensable today, with an ever-increasing number of interventions.

“
“My team and I were looking for a tool that could meet all our needs—namely, being able to handle a large number of requests and track them through one single tool—and in that respect, Bob! Desk meets our expectations well. Having the same view of information across our department, our stores, and all our service providers saves time in handling cases.”
“The Blachère Group implemented the Bob! Desk CMMS solution, with the support of a consulting firm, in order to address the Group’s growth challenges. Bob! Desk was able to adapt to the complexity of the client’s maintenance and troubleshooting activities (a network of more than 500 bakeries and a wide range of equipment), thereby facilitating the work of operational teams.
Project management and change management carried out by the consulting firm, combined with the commitment of the Blachère teams and the responsiveness of the Bob! Desk teams, enabled the brand to rapidly deploy a tool that met its expectations.”
“The proliferation of Excel files had become commonplace, with the management of X store master data sets. Given the volume of interventions and the time spent consolidating and checking data, implementing a CMMS solution was an obvious choice. Bob! Desk was selected for the simplicity of its solution for users, its startup mindset, and its ability to support us over the long term.”
“Implementing Bob! Desk made it possible to obtain near real-time reporting of maintenance costs, directly allocated analytically to the right stores. Based on these elements, we were able to identify maintenance cost trends depending on store types (age, etc.). The next step will be to automatically match work orders with invoices to speed up the monthly closing process.”
