TCM developed a traceability platform for Groupe Lacroix that makes it possible to audit and analyse the chemical footprint of its entire packaging catalogue.
Groupe Lacroix, a multi-material packaging manufacturer
Why did Groupe Lacroix call on TCM?
In a context of stringent regulatory and environmental requirements, Groupe Lacroix, a multi-material packaging manufacturer, entrusted us with developing its traceability platform. This custom business tool makes it possible to audit and analyse the chemical footprint of its entire catalogue, guaranteeing complete quality control and transparency.
Three challenges in modernising a critical tool
Moving from Excel to a web platform
Transforming an existing Excel-based tool into a web business platform.
Integrating with the existing information system
Connecting the tool to the ERP and to the rest of the group's information system.
Managing multilingual end to end
Adapting both the user interface and the data to a multilingual context.
A platform to trace and control every item
From multi-criteria search to data control
We supported Groupe Lacroix in the design of an interface including:
– a high-performance search engine based on several criteria, notably substances and items;
– multilingual management of content and interface;
– a back office dedicated to the administration, harmonisation and control of data, to limit errors and guarantee consistency.
Multi-criteria search engine
Search by substance and by item.
Multilingual management
Translated content and interface for international use.
Control back office
Administration, harmonisation and control of data, to limit errors and guarantee consistency.

Your questions about traceability in the packaging industry
What you need to know before digitalising a chemical footprint audit, with the example of the platform developed for Groupe Lacroix.
You need to rethink how the data is structured before bringing it to life in a web interface, rather than reproducing the logic of an Excel file as is. This is the approach followed for Groupe Lacroix.
Content and interface must be translated in parallel, with centralised language management. This is what we set up for Groupe Lacroix.
TCM developed a traceability platform for Groupe Lacroix in PHP, Laravel and React, with a multi-criteria search engine.
