Following the validation of its economic and technical model during its incubation phase at ENGIE between 2016 and 2017, Please conducted a first phase of deployment in early 2018 with the signature of 10 cities. In December 2018, Please has more than 300 merchants and 26,000 customers on its platform. This represents approximately 35,000 orders made and delivered for more than 200,000 km traveled by our local partners.
Thanks to the support of ENGIE New Ventures, Please has demonstrated an important step in its evolution: scalability *! Indeed, in 12 months the platform has multiplied by 10 its order activity and customer traffic, a growth of 1000% in one year. 10 times more orders, it's 10 times more adrenaline and 10 times more ambition for the coming year!
These results show that this collaborative platform, resulting from the ENGIE incubation, is fully functional with a double offer:
- a unique partnership deployment model that responds to a new local and digital economy;
- a community offering that enables city-center actors to boost the digitalization of their local shops in small towns and to offer new services to citizens everywhere in France!
* scalability: Refers to the ability of a company to scale up its business model without changing its cost structure
