Since its launch in 2017, Génération Artisans from POINT.P has constantly evolved to closely meet the needs of tradespeople and offer them the right support to build their skills and facilitate their daily work.
With the same goals in mind, POINT.P has today formed a partnership with Kiloutou. The first stage in this collaboration takes the form of a unique offer to members of Génération Artisans: a 20% discount on their first rental.
The best services to assist tradespeople in their daily work
POINT.P is always listening to the 16,500 members of Génération Artisans and regularly identifies new needs and requirements to update its service offer.
A brand-new partnership with the rental company Kiloutou enhances the range of tools available to tradespeople in the community. To launch this collaboration, the two partners have created a welcome offer exclusive to members of Génération Artisans: members will be able to claim a 20% discount on their first equipment rental. This offer is valid in all Kiloutou branches on presentation of the Kiloutou Pass that Génération Artisans members will be able to obtain from 23 March onward on their personal page at pointp.fr.
Members of Génération Artisans will also be introduced to the Kiloutou Pro Contract service. This offers numerous benefits throughout the year based on seven commitments: theft and breakage insurance; 15-minute collection and a free two-hour grace period for tool returns; a dedicated customer space: myKiloutou ; a chat messaging service; equipment support within four hours; trade prices.
Génération Artisans will in turn offer access to the CACES (driver safety certificate) training, provided by Kiloutou since 2012, on its website. These training courses focus on practical skills and help trainees to achieve perfect understanding of the equipment and associated safety rules. This information is being shared with the aim of making tradespeople aware of the rich course content.
For both partners, this is a first step before launching further innovative projects in the near future.
“Kiloutou is delighted to be collaborating with POINT.P and contributing to the Génération Artisans programme, which represents an innovative approach to customer relations. It’s a great opportunity for Kiloutou to become part of a strong, committed community, and strengthening our profile among tradespeople is currently a priority for us!”
