Atyx: “Thanks to Boond, we save 6 hours per week per manager”

Hello Chloé, can you tell us about Atyx?

ATYX is an engineering consulting firm based in Nantes, with 20 years of experience.
We work on major projects worldwide across industrial engineering, civil engineering, and large infrastructure projects.

Our mission is to deploy the expertise of our 200 consultants to ensure the successful delivery of our clients’ projects. We are ready to intervene quickly in the field across the following roles:

• Project management
• Construction supervision
• Engineering
• Support functions

We have been experiencing organic growth of over 20% per year since 2017, reaching €20M in revenue.

Our next goal?
To double our revenue and headcount by 2026. To achieve this, we needed to structure our organization—which led us to BoondManager 😉

How did Atyx choose BoondManager?

When we started looking for a tool, our initial need was to send skills profiles (DTs) easily and quickly, ensuring they were anonymized and standardized.
Spending 45 minutes creating a single skills profile is neither productive nor value-adding.

Our previous CRM was not connected to the candidate database. We had:

• One tool for prospects and clients
• Another tool for candidates and resources

These two tools couldn’t communicate. As a result, our business managers and recruiters couldn’t collaborate efficiently. There was a lot of information loss and a significant amount of time wasted trying to cross-reference data.

When Anthony introduced us to BoondManager, we quickly realized the solution met all our needs—and even more.
It was perfectly suited to our business.

Feedback after the demo was incredible. We launched a trial period, and our Head of Recruitment immediately saw the potential. All teams were eager to change tools and welcomed the project with enthusiasm.

The decision was an easy one.

How did onboarding go at Atyx?

Everyone agrees: it was perfect. That’s the best word to describe it.

Sarah’s support was fast, precise, comprehensive, and flawless. We truly felt privileged by her availability—I’m still amazed that every time I call her, she’s available.

Being able to simplify and explain such a complex topic is not something everyone can do.

Support responsiveness has been exemplary. We previously worked with one of your competitors, and the difference in response times is night and day.

BoondManager is very quick to get started with. We quickly found our rhythm and understood how important it is to enter data properly to fully leverage reporting and KPIs.

Speaking of onboarding, I really appreciated the onboarding guide that was recently shared—I use it regularly!

What was the level of adoption among Atyx teams?

Absolutely incredible. 100% adoption and success. Everyone was delighted.

Teams found BoondManager:

• Visually appealing
• Very intuitive
• Fast
• Relevant
• Simple to use

On the business side, being able to import contacts and companies directly from LinkedIn saves us an incredible amount of time.
Tracking needs and viewing applications in real time are things we simply didn’t have before.

BoondManager is user-friendly and attractive. Design might seem secondary, but since we spend so much time in the tool, it really matters. It’s easy on the eyes and genuinely makes you want to use it.

New hires who joined after BoondManager was implemented—and never experienced our old way of working—all say the same thing:
“But how did you manage before?” 😉

What are your favorite features at Atyx?

BoondManager has helped us improve the quality of our sales arguments, making client relationships smoother and more precise.

Everything is configurable—we can show certain data and hide others. The tool truly adapts to every stage of our organizational transformation.

Our teams unanimously highlight the following favorite features:

• Requirements module: excellent ergonomics, intuitive layout, great visibility with powerful filters
• Kanban views: everyone swears by them
• Discussion threads: a real game changer—extremely practical
• Search & filters: simple, efficient, and especially powerful in the Candidates module
• Celebrations (birthdays & work anniversaries): we love them
• Positioning: saves us a lot of time
• Dashboards: perfect for steering the business

Have you seen productivity gains?

Absolutely.

Thanks to the implementation of discussion threads, we made a bold decision: we completely reorganized internally by combining Boond discussion threads with Microsoft Teams.

The result?
6 hours saved per week, per manager—almost an entire working day.

That’s an unmatched productivity gain, and above all, collaboration has improved at every level.

What really stands out is that using BoondManager feels like the tool was designed internally for us.
It perfectly matches our needs, uses the same terminology, and includes no unnecessary features.

It’s exactly us 🙂
