context

I.M.E. Experts-Conseils is shaping the future by creating sustainable buildings and supporting vital infrastructure across various sectors. The company is committed to reducing the environmental footprint of its projects and promoting decarbonization.

Before embarking on its digital transformation, I.M.E. Experts-Conseils conducted an in-depth assessment of its internal processes. This assessment highlighted significant challenges: time tracking for the 35 employees was tedious, requiring up to four duplications. The billing process faced similar issues. Information was passed between various individuals, files, and systems before reaching clients, leading to delays and errors. The analysis revealed the primary bottleneck in the accounting software, hosted on a local server and accessible by only one person. This situation resulted in operational inefficiencies, limited financial visibility, and unreliable data.

To support its growth, I.M.E. Experts-Conseils opted for an ambitious digital transformation: replacing multiple Excel spreadsheets and the locally hosted accounting software with Zoho One to optimize processes and enhance the quality of its services.
