Mon Petit Compagnon: "A full set of services supporting employees every day"

That's how Alexandre Hadjedj, Project Manager for the HR department of the group, describes the app that Witco rolled out across six Groupama sites. With Mon Petit Compagnon, employees have a one-stop shop for all services, accessible in seconds from a smartphone or a computer.

The challenge: bringing services together and extending them

At Groupama, the range of services offered to employees grew little by little over time. So as new buildings opened, the group focused on a key priority: avoiding a patchwork of disconnected tools and bringing every service together into one simple, consistent environment across all sites.

Choosing Witco was a direct answer to that goal.

"We had a whole range of apps and a whole range of services, and we wanted to bring it all together into a single app so that employees would have every service we could offer right at their fingertips, on their phone or their computer."
Alexandre Hadjedj, Project Manager, Group HR Department, Groupama

An app designed to be a daily companion

To bring this vision to life, Groupama chose a name that says it all: Mon Petit Compagnon ("My Little Companion").

More than just an app, it was designed to feel like a personal assistant, the one you naturally turn to when you need to book a room, find an available phone booth, keep up with campus news, or access on-site services.

The Witco solution: a single gateway to every service

With Witco, Groupama brought all the essentials of office life together into one app:

• the news feed, to keep employees informed in real time,
• the food services, with the various options available on site,
• the concierge service, bookable right from the app,
• the events calendar, for a lively campus life,
• and booking for meeting rooms and phone booths.

This kind of centralization makes a real difference in the employee experience: less friction, fewer tools to hunt down, and a smoother day overall.

Book a space in seconds

Across Groupama's sites, booking spaces is one of the most popular uses of Mon Petit Compagnon.

The app lets employees book directly from an interactive floor plan, which is especially handy in buildings with floor after floor of similar layouts. Employees can see a space, its location, and its availability at a glance.

Other ways to search for the right room round out the experience: booking from the schedule view (a favorite among executive assistants) or browsing a list with photos of the rooms.

Day to day, this feature answers a very real need: quickly finding an available space without wandering floor to floor.

"Just by looking at the app, I can see which floor and which area has a free booth where I can go to focus."

Sensors that show availability in real time

The experience is made even better with Ubigreen sensors, which display the availability of phone booths and meeting rooms right in the app. A color code on the floor plan makes it easy to spot open spaces at a glance, and a light above each privacy booth also shows whether it's in use.

Sensors are used in the dining areas too, showing real-time occupancy at the restaurant so employees can pick the right moment to head to lunch.

Inform, connect, engage: the central role of the news feed

Beyond its practical services, Mon Petit Compagnon plays a leading role in internal communication across the campuses.

The news feed is used every day to share key information: site updates, food offer, upcoming events, even flash alerts when something comes up. The events module complements it by announcing activities and highlights for employees ahead of time.

On the admin side, the module isn't just easy to get the hang of, it also offers a level of customization that teams really appreciate: casual or official posts, scheduled publishing, image uploads, and more.*

"As a manager, the news feed is incredibly easy to use. You can schedule posts, add photos, and make announcements—official or not."
Axelle Aguinet, Campus Coordinator, Group HR Department, Groupama

Food & concierge: everyday services, fully integrated

Mon Petit Compagnon also brings together the dining options available across the sites. At Astorg, for example, the offering includes a company restaurant, a café, and Foodles connected fridges. They are all accessible from the app through a single wallet.

The concierge service rounds out the experience. A favorite among employees, it lets them handle dry cleaning and ironing right from their desk, with pickup and delivery either on site or at home.

A structured collaboration built to last

The project is led by Groupama's HR teams, with support from internal experts, IT in particular, on integration topics like email, Outlook, and meeting rooms.

A monthly check-in with the Witco teams keeps day-to-day operational matters and upcoming projects on track, in a relationship defined by responsiveness and a close working partnership.

A simpler day for 4,000 employees and an ambition for more

Two years after launch, Mon Petit Compagnon's ease of use has won over the majority of Groupama's 4,000 employees. Booking a room, finding an open booth, checking the restaurant menu, accessing the concierge services, or keeping up with campus news, it all happens in one tool, in seconds, from any device.

"The employee experience has gotten better since we rolled out Mon Petit Compagnon, because every service is in one place. And honestly, I think that's rare in a company."
Axelle Aguinet

And Groupama's ambition doesn't stop there: the goal is to keep expanding the offering, meet new needs, and go even further in simplifying everyday life so that every employee finds even more value in Mon Petit Compagnon, every single day.
