Tanguy Materials

How does a multi-site organization *align its communication* for its employees?

Through the testimonials of Anaïs Riouallon, Florence Caer, Anthony Biannic, and Frédéric, discover how Steeple has transformed internal communications at the Tanguy Matériaux Group.

*Tanguy Matériaux* Group

Today, the Tanguy Matériaux Group is a major player in the distribution and manufacturing of construction materials in western France, with more than 950 employees, 65 branches, and 18 subsidiaries.

As a company in the construction industry, employees are spread across the branches, headquarters, and job sites. Before Steeple was implemented, communication remained relatively limited and low-key, with particular difficulty in conveying information in real time to all sites. These obstacles to internal communication made it more challenging to foster connections among employees.

Communicate ~effectively and efficiently~

Sharing information was a real challenge within the company. The sites scattered across the West were unable to communicate with one another, which also made it difficult to share information.

For management, it became imperative to address this lack of internal communication, which was having a significant impact on employees, affecting their sense of belonging, their well-being, and the effectiveness of the team as a whole.

To address this situation, solutions had to be found to facilitate the flow of information within the company, encourage collaboration between different sites, and strengthen team cohesion within a team that does not always have access to a computer.

"It's impossible for us to visit all 65 branches, but thanks to Steeple, everyone has a photo and can share messages. On several occasions, when I visited a branch, people recognized me because I had posted on Steeple. This is something that, I believe, wouldn’t have been possible a few years ago with just an intranet." ~Anaïs Riouallon, Marketing Manager~

"Steeple promotes fairness among employees. No matter the role or branch, everyone has access to the same information at the same time" ~Florence Caer, Assistant HR Director~

Sharing *information*

Today, it’s not just the employees in the office—who have the opportunity to turn on a computer every morning—who are aware of the information shared by management. That has changed thanks to Steeple. Now, information is centralized and accessible to everyone. This prevents any wasted time due to inconsistent information and ensures that all employees receive the same information almost instantly.


Communication within the company is now very simple and seamless, with a wide variety of information available. For example, job openings shared by headquarters were previously distributed only to a small portion of employees, not to everyone. That is no longer the case.

Sharing Information *Among Employees*

This tool helps foster a strong sense of belonging within a community, allowing everyone to share aspects of their daily lives. It plays a vital role in bringing together the various Tanguy Matériaux locations. Even though employees are spread out between field sites and offices, they can communicate and share information seamlessly.

This is an opportunity to highlight the company’s various projects and initiatives, and even to encourage individual efforts through likes and comments. This form of communication becomes participatory, fostering better mutual understanding by creating an internal community within the company.
