In 2022, Groupe Casino selected RowShare as its tool for tracking and reporting on internal recruitment and mobility for the Human Resources Department. After more than a year of using this solution, here’s their feedback.
Could you share a brief description of your company?
Groupe Casino has been a major player in the French retail industry since 1898. We are one of the world’s leaders in proximity food distribution, with over 10,000 stores worldwide.
What problems were you trying to solve with RowShare?
In 2019, we implemented a reporting tool to track the actions and results of our mobility and recruitment teams. This project had a significant Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) component. However, our previous solution—based on Microsoft Access and Excel—had performance issues, bugs, and ergonomic challenges. These factors made it difficult to use and affected the reliability of our data.
We considered developing an in-house solution, but the cost was prohibitive. That’s when we discovered RowShare, one of the top-rated solutions for data entry and reporting.
What was the challenge?
The challenge was critical because we needed to provide detailed reports to our management, as well as to each branch and subsidiary, on actions taken in each period. This was a major concern at the Casino level.
Why did you choose RowShare?
What struck us from the beginning was the simplicity of the solution. When you first log into RowShare, the ease of use is immediately noticeable. We were also looking for an agile solution with the flexibility to freely create and design dashboards.
Additionally, RowShare’s support offering made a difference. We needed assistance from the start of the project, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the RowShare team's involvement and follow-up. They continually improved the solution based on our needs throughout the collaboration.

How did the implementation of RowShare go? Did you need assistance?
We started by explaining how we used our current tool and defining the precise scope of the new solution together. Contrary to our expectations, we didn’t need to create anything ourselves—the RowShare team took care of everything, which was a real asset. In addition to the RowShare solution, they also advised and implemented a reporting solution using Microsoft Power BI.
Who are the RowShare users at Casino?
Approximately 25 HR specialists from the internal recruitment and mobility teams actively use RowShare on a daily basis.
What do you like about RowShare?
The performance and ease of use are immediately evident—unlike our previous solution. The time spent entering information for reporting has drastically decreased, going from several hours to just a few minutes. Rights management is also an advantage, as it's accessible to functional managers without IT expertise.
How did RowShare help save time and/or money at Casino?
The cost of the solution, including implementation, was significantly reduced compared to our previous solution, even within the first year that included RowShare customization cost. Additionally, RowShare is now used twice more, ensuring more reliable data and complete KPI usage. The time saved is substantial, with data entry taking only a few seconds instead of several minutes per record.
Would you recommend RowShare?
Yes, absolutely. I’ve already recommended RowShare at an HR KPI conference at Station F in Paris.
Collaborative, simple and reliable.
Rowshare helps you gather and analyze data in an easy and confidential way.
