What conclusions do you draw from this first collaboration?
CL : Although very tight, the deadlines were met. On the other
hand, despite very complicated working conditions, even
difficult, everything went perfectly in perfect agreement.
Corinne Leroux : The company was created in 1982 under the
name Régie Linge by grouping together seven linen rental
units and industrial laundry facilities. Two years later, it's
twenty-five factories that are federated by the brand.
Renamed Kalhyge, the group has become national and
addresses varied and demanding targets ranging from the
hospitality industry to healthcare in rental textile hygiene
maintenance.
What needs led you to FiveForty°?
CL : At the time, we had just bought eight factories.
It was a huge challenge for us. Imagine: an acquisition
transaction equivalent to half the size of the group!
"Sizeable challenges"
What were your expectations before starting this
collaboration?
CL : In this stressful environment, we only had 120 days to
integrate new production units into the system of the group,
and specifically into Dynamics AX. Of course, we had to manage
the interfaces with our business tools and secure as well data
during transmissions.
How did you come to work with FiveForty°?
CL : The decision was made by our IT Systems Director in 2017
who knew them and queried them on demanding
specifications and time-sensitive deadlines.
Basically, what motivated your choices?
CL : The relevance of their project response and the
responsiveness that we could tell right from the first exchanges.
"No limit !"
Do the technical intervention and the relationship match
your expectations?
CL : It was way above what we expected.
Anyhow, with them, it seems like there are no limits.
What do you like about FiveForty°?
CL : Their dynamism suits me perfectly, their positive attitude too: there are no problems, only solutions. Their youthfulness,
and the optimism that goes with it. A very appreciable quality, relationship-wise. I also appreciate their patience and mastery
of issues.
What do you think are areas for improvement that you could
consider?
CL : I'll be a little harsh, but next time FiveForty° must bring
back from the States more M&Ms and less peanut butter!
If you had to recommend FiveForty° to a friend what would
you say?
CL : Go ahead with utmost confidence!
In three words, the FiveForty° difference relative to other firms?
CL : What comes to me is their mindset, competence and
responsiveness.
Three words to sum them up?
CL : Flexibility, proximity, professionalism.
On a scale of 1 to 5, what score for your relationship?
CL : 545 – 540!
