Country: France
Industry: E-commerce
Project Start Date: 2010–The initial rollout of Google Workspace (GSuite at the time) marked a pivotal turning point for the company’s internal communications and operations.
Project End Date: Ongoing–The evolution of Google Workspace functionalities continues to drive innovation and efficiency at Vente-unique.com, with future enhancements on the horizon.
Before 2010, Vente-unique.com relied on a fragmented mix of tools that hindered communication and efficiency:
As Vente-unique.com grew, it needed a unified and secure system that would provide easy access to email across devices, enable shared calendars and real-time collaboration, and serve as a more affordable alternative to traditional office software, which cost €50 per user per year at the time.
In 2010, Vente-unique.com transitioned to Google Workspace, driving a complete shift in how teams collaborated and communicated:
Enhanced Communication
Collaborative Tools
File Management & Connectivity
Continuous Innovation
As for the teams, Google Workspace offers several user-focused advantages for both end-users and IT administrators.
Vente-unique.com employees found the transition to Google Workspace trouble-free, thanks to its familiar interface. Since many team members already used personal Google accounts, adoption was quick and intuitive. With 24/7 access to emails, documents, and collaboration tools, teams could work from anywhere without interruption. Integrated contacts and calendars further improved scheduling and communication across departments.
For administrators, Google Workspace introduced powerful management tools that simplified operations. Centralized user and group management made onboarding and account control more efficient, while scalable domain management allowed new business units to be added with ease. Advanced security controls provided real-time threat monitoring and automated alerts, ensuring a higher level of protection. High-performance email filters cut down on spam and phishing attempts, and built-in resource booking made managing meeting rooms and shared spaces more efficient.
Security remained a top priority, with Google-based authentication serving as a cornerstone of Vente-unique.com’s approach. Employees could access all business tools with a single login, reducing friction while enhancing security. If a Google account was ever disabled, access to all connected systems was immediately revoked, minimizing risks and ensuring a secure digital environment.
With Google Workspace, Vente-unique.com didn’t just replace old systems—it built a more connected, secure, and efficient foundation for long-term growth, directly contributing to its impressive GMV and future expansion plans.
