Fayat: a site factory for a group, its divisions and its subsidiaries
For the Fayat group, a Drupal site factory serving the group, its divisions and its subsidiaries: an installation profile per type of entity, content shared across sites and federated search.
Context
A group, divisions, subsidiaries: one online presence.
France's leading independent construction group and a world leader in road equipment, Fayat brings together many companies. Each division and each subsidiary needs its own site, while the group wants a consistent image and news that travels from one site to another.
Our answer: a Drupal site factory, with installation profiles per type of entity and a foundation of shared content. We led the technical design, the front-end and back-end development, then the maintenance of the platform.
The site factory
What it brings to the group.
Installation profiles
One profile per type of entity, division or subsidiary: every new site starts with the right structure.
A customisable theme
A shared base theme that each entity adapts to its identity.
Modular blocks
Articles are built from content blocks, for rich layouts without technical help.
Shared content
Editorial content is synchronised across sites through centralised Elasticsearch storage.
Cross-site moderation
Shared content goes through a moderation workflow from one site to another.
Federated search
A single search covers every site in the factory.
The architecture
A shared foundation, independent sites.
Drupal
A Drupal foundation shared by every site, adapted through installation profiles.

The shared storage that synchronises editorial content across sites.
