"We couldn't do without it!"

For Jessica Laure, Managing Director of Groupe LAURE Transports et Logistique, there's no turning back. Our tools greatly simplify company management.

What does Groupe LAURE do?

Jessica LAURE: Groupe LAURE is a family business founded in 1904, which today employs 300 people, including 250 drivers. Our head office is in Nantes, and with seven agencies across the country, we cover France and part of Europe. Groupe LAURE offers tailor-made solutions, thanks to a wide range of transport services, from conventional freight to refrigerated transport, as well as the transport of dry bulk. We are highly versatile.

Why did you choose TRUCKONLINE?

JL: We've been working with them since very recently, at the end of 2022 to be exact. We needed to renew our on-board IT tools and modernize our systems. We took a look at the market to see what was being done, and drew up a shortlist of companies that matched our expectations. Geolocation was one of our main requests, as well as a tool to simplify payroll management.

Why did you choose them?

JL: We liked the different services right away. Everything is easy to install and use. The ergonomics are incredible. Then there's the fact that it's a French product and that the team is dynamic and easy to contact.

What has this changed for Groupe LAURE?

JL: It's changed our lives in terms of organization, human resources, payroll management, planning... It's a total change in the way we operate and the way we work. We save time, there are fewer complications and less paperwork.

What are these changes?

JL: Let's just take geolocation, which is the basis of the system. We can be extremely reactive and manage unforeseen events on our drivers' routes: a breakdown, an accident, a change of route, optimize journeys, add or modify a schedule by knowing exactly where our employees are. Let me give you a simple example: if a driver has a problem on the road, we know that the nearest colleague can go and help him if necessary. It also enables us to visualize our entire fleet in real time, and keep track of deliveries. We can manage the unexpected and react quickly. We communicate more easily.

What about TRUCKONLINE tools for drivers?

JL: First of all, La Bonne Com' messaging service is a direct link with the company. For us, it's important to stay in touch with our employees on the road. After all, there are nearly 250 of them, spread across several agencies in France and on the road. Likewise, if they stay on site. They're out of the truck, but they could be in the workshop, in the warehouse, changing a part. All this instantaneous data feedback enables us to understand their day and calculate their wages as accurately as possible.

Do you use the La Bonne Prépaie service?

JL: Yes, recently. We have several branches in France, and when we had to chase after everyone to find out about service times, it was complicated. These tools make payroll processing easier. It's a real comfort.

Any final words?

JL: Today, we couldn't do without it!
