It covers all food <a href=\"https:\/\/gcloud.devoteam.com\/industries\/retail\/\">retail<\/a> formats with 3,778 points of sale under its brands (hypermarkets, superstores, supermarkets and ultra-convenience stores), supplemented by e-commerce and drive-through in certain countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-contxt\">The Contxt <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A &#8220;Google Group&#8221; is a Google Workspace feature that facilitates the exchange of information between employees from the same country, store or department. Auchan currently has 12,000 groups on its Google Workspace platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manual administrative management of these groups represents a significant burden for the Google Workspace administration team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-problem\">The Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, more than 500 prfiles are created or suspended on a daily basis. Therefore, keeping all Google Groups up to date becomes a real challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of these groups could be turned into dynamic groups, based on the content of the user profile, which would significantly reduce the workload of administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-solution\">The Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have developed a web application to assist administrative teams in managing Google Groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This solution, developed on the Google Cloud Platform, integrates seamlessly with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gcloud.devoteam.com\/products\/google-workspace\/\">Google Workspace<\/a>.
