The LAB ETI PME opens its one-stop shop and celebrates the first promotion of its support program

In 2025, more than ever, time is a decisive factor for small to medium-sized enterprises. The LAB acts as an accelerator for the transformation of SMEs. To support them, LAB members rely in turn on a powerful self-diagnosis of Supply Chain maturity, numerous resources, a large and diversified network and a brand new training and coaching program: eSCalade.

The France Supply Chain One-Stop Shop identifies the resources that meet your challenges

Are you lost in the hundreds of resources provided by the association? The members of the LAB are now committed to guiding you in order to find the right tools according to your needs. By need, they also mean: according to your maturity and as your transformation progresses.

This one-stop shop project is therefore a kind of member-to-member mentoring, designed for those who are not equipped like the large groups and who need to be even more efficient.

Self-diagnosis quickly gives results very close to those of a thorough audit

With recommendations from your expert peers, you'll know which resources to consult for:

  • self-train on the new challenges of the Supply Chain;

  • keep you informed of the latest digital and technological advances;

  • avoid mistakes in all your transformation projects;

  • get started with decarbonizing your operations;

  • but also, find the right people to talk to within the network!

The 18 good practice sheets cover the key topics of SCs for ETIs and SMEs
