How Léon Grosse turned idle site equipment into a shared resource
Léon Grosse runs many construction sites at once, each with its own equipment. With Le BonFiléon, an internal marketplace the Kreezalid team built on the Kreezalid platform, a site that no longer needs a piece of equipment publishes it, and a site that needs one finds it in the group before buying new.

The challenge
In a decentralised construction group, equipment exists and sometimes circulates, but rarely in a visible, steerable way. Purchasing decisions are taken site by site, availability is scattered, and exchanges happen informally, with no common frame and little trace. The result: equipment sitting idle on one site while another orders the same thing, and no way to measure what reuse actually saves. The group did not lack resources; it lacked a way to see and mobilise what it already owned.
The solution
The Kreezalid team first mapped the flows with the group: equipment categories, roles, exchange rules and governance, to avoid the trap of a catalogue disconnected from life on site. It then built Le BonFiléon on the Kreezalid platform, with a theme of its own and the codes of a consumer marketplace. Employees sign in with the group’s single sign-on. Every listing is attached to a construction site, and the group’s sites are synchronised every night from its own systems through the Kreezalid API, so the list is always the real one. Site teams publish available equipment, search what others have, and arrange the handover through the platform’s messaging.
What it enables
Before spending, a site can check whether the need is already covered somewhere in the group: every piece of equipment reused is a purchase avoided, a better return on what was already bought, and less idle stock. Exchanges follow one frame instead of local habits, so the group can see the flows and measure them. Reuse stops being a good intention and becomes an operational reflex.
How an exchange works
- Step 1
Identify
A site spots equipment it no longer uses, or uses little.
- Step 2
Publish
The equipment goes on the platform, attached to its construction site. A moderator approves it, or it publishes on its own after 48 hours.
- Step 3
Search
Another site expresses a need and finds the resource within the group.
- Step 4
Connect
The two teams coordinate through the platform’s messaging, in a clear and traceable frame.
- Step 5
Reuse
The need is covered without a new purchase.
