Sample case: Genelios optimises its product presentation

In an increasingly competitive market, it's essential to stand out from the crowd. Genelios, a company specialising in the manufacture of photovoltaic shade systems, understands this. Looking for a solution to present your products more effectively and professionally?, the company chose Bag PRO and its made-to-measure sample cases.

 

We spoke to Sébastien Corot, the company's Sales Director. Find out how this collaboration has enabled them to transform their product presentation strategy and achieve convincing results.

What is Genelios?

Genelios is a designer and manufacturer of photovoltaic carports for professionals and private customers.

A photovoltaic carport is a metal structure installed in a car park to protect one or more vehicles from the elements. It also generates electricity using photovoltaic panels installed on the roof. The electricity produced can be used either for self-consumption or to recharge an electric vehicle.

How to present a large product on the move: The Genelios challenge

Before calling on Bag PRO, Genelios had a number of problems presenting its products effectively:

  • The impossibility of transporting its products to present them to customers:
    A photovoltaic shade is a bulky product (around 5m x 5m).
    It was therefore difficult to present them at customer meetings or events.
 
  • Presentation in a catalogue or digital format can be a barrier to sales:
    It doesn't give you a true picture of the product, its advantages or the technical or aesthetic options available.

What was it like at Genelios before Bag PRO?

“We used to operate without samples because we hadn't yet put in place the appropriate tools. Today, we're in a business - retail - where we need to see, visualise, touch and feel the product.”

Sebastien Corot, Genelios Sales Director
