At Althéa, we believe that client support goes far beyond simple consulting. It is a human and technological journey that begins with listening, is built through dialogue, and results in tangible transformation. The testimonial from Sébastien Philibert, Managing Director of Mobil-Home Rideau, perfectly illustrates this philosophy.
A transformation context: evolving tools in step with growth
Mobil-Home Rideau, a subsidiary of the Gustave Rideau Group—the French leader in conservatories, pergolas and pool enclosures—has been experiencing sustained growth. The company, which specialises in manufacturing mobile homes for campsites, quickly reached the limits of its production management tool, which had become obsolete in light of today’s challenges.
“We were using software that hadn’t evolved for several years. With the growth we’re experiencing, it was urgent to move to a structuring ERP,” explains Sébastien Philibert.
Why Althéa? Trust built on experience
Already known and recognised by the Gustave Rideau Group for previous assignments, Althéa naturally established itself as a trusted partner.
“We consulted several firms, but Althéa stood out for the quality of its support and its keen understanding of our expectations. Their approach, both technical and human, made the difference,” says the Managing Director.
An assignment delivered with rigour and close support
The assignment entrusted to Althéa consisted of designing a comprehensive ERP requirements specification, then supporting Mobil-Home Rideau in selecting the right integrator. This assignment was built on several strong pillars:
- On-site immersion with department heads to gather operational needs.
- Team continuity from start to finish of the project, ensuring consistency and trust.
- A strategic advisory role at every stage of the tender process and the selection of the ERP integrator.
“What I appreciated was the consultants’ constant involvement. They went on site, listened to my teams, rephrased their expectations… Althéa really immersed itself in our company culture,” emphasises Sébastien Philibert.
Support that does not stop at signature
At Althéa, our commitment does not end once the contract is signed. We remain alongside our clients over the long term, ensuring the project is executed properly and that satisfaction continues.
“Even after the selection phase, Althéa would call me to make sure everything was going well with the chosen provider. That closeness is invaluable today,” adds Mr Philibert.
A shared ambition: supporting growth through structuring
With this ERP project now underway—a 18-month programme—Mobil-Home Rideau intends to consolidate its position as a leader in the French mobile-home market and continue its growth momentum.
“What can we wish for Mobil-Home Rideau? To remain the leader in France and to have an ERP that matches its ambitions,” concludes Sébastien Philibert.
At Althéa, we are proud to have been able to contribute to this strategic transformation. Thank you to Sébastien Philibert and all the Mobil-Home Rideau teams for their trust and exemplary collaboration.
