Gyproc and Weber: site factories for Saint-Gobain brands
For Gyproc and Weber, two building-materials brands of the Saint-Gobain group, multilingual, multi-territory Drupal site factories connected to the group PIM: each country launches its site from a shared foundation, with an up-to-date product catalogue.
Context
One brand, many countries, one foundation.
Gyproc and Weber operate in many countries. Each one needs its own site, in its own language, sometimes in a non-Latin script, with a product catalogue that must stay true to the group's reference: the Riversand PIM.
Our answer: one Drupal site factory per brand. A shared foundation, a base theme adapted to each brand, a wizard to create a country site and a direct connection to the PIM. We led the technical design, the front-end and back-end development, then the maintenance of the platforms.
The site factories
What every country site gets.
An installation wizard
A new country site is created from a wizard: language, territory and brand settings, without starting from scratch.
A catalogue connected to the PIM
Product sheets come from the group's Riversand PIM through an API: a single source of truth for every country.
A product configurator
On Gyproc, a configurator helps choose products and their combinations.
A documentation area
Product documentation is gathered in a dedicated area, in sync with the catalogue.
Multilingual and multi-territory
Each site manages its own languages and territory, non-Latin scripts included.
Fine-grained permissions
Rights management that gives each editorial team control over what concerns it.
The sites
Two brands, one foundation.

The architecture
A Drupal foundation, adapted for each brand.
Base theme
A shared theme customised for each brand: any improvement to the foundation benefits every site.
Search
Apache Solr and Elasticsearch index the content and the product catalogue.
REST API
The PIM and the group's services talk to the sites through a REST API.
Acquia Cloud infrastructure
A devops pipeline on Acquia Cloud to deploy and run all the sites.
Beyond the site factories
Other missions for the group.
Saint-Gobain Trophy
The competition platform: a multi-step entry form, with attachments and progress saved until the deadline, and the presentation layer that showcases the competition, the projects and the winners.
A product configurator
For Gyproc, a system selector: specifiers set their fire and sound insulation, height and duty rating criteria, then download the matching systems.
Gyproc China Store maintenance
Maintenance of Gyproc's e-commerce platform for the Chinese market.
