Stellar and Allshare, working together to structure the Product in a phase of SaaS transformation.
In this mission, Alexandre, a product strategy expert at Stellar, supported Pierre-Louis Giros, Product Director at Allshare, in the creation of the Product team, the definition of a clear roadmap and the implementation of the standardized software core, in order to support the company's SaaS transformation.
Pitch
Allshare has been a software publisher for over 30 years. The company delivers powerful, customizable HR and controlling solutions to key accounts, through a low-code platform. Historically organized as an integrator, Allshare is now embarking on an ambitious transformation to become a true SaaS provider, based on a structured and scalable product organization.
Your growth doesn't rely solely on Marketing and Sales.
A product that doesn't deliver on its promises is doomed to failure, even with the best marketing and sales people:
#1 A total lack of organization Product
Historically focused on integration, Allshare had no dedicated product team: no CPO, no PM, no clear vision of priorities. Development was carried out on an ad hoc basis, with no overall roadmap.
Structuring a product team
Creation of a Product Unit, appointment of a Product Director and recruitment of two Product Managers to frame the vision, organize roadmaps and support the SaaS transformation.
#2 Different versions for different customers
Each major account had its own specific instance of the platform, making it impossible to deploy updates simultaneously and multiplying maintenance costs.
Setting up a common, modular foundation
Development of a standardized software core, designed to accommodate specific customer requirements in the form of modules, guaranteeing product stability while enabling simultaneous deployment across the entire installed base.
#3 Low velocity and growing technical debt
The lack of standards and clear prioritization meant constant rework and long delivery times.
Implementation of an agile roadmap and processes
Definition of a precise, rhythmic roadmap, accompanied by product scoping methods, to improve visibility, prioritization and speed of execution.
How Stellar helped Garantme
Tangible results
towards a high-performance product organization
Stellar's support has enabled Allshare to lay the solid foundations of a mature product organization, supporting its transition to a SaaS model and sustainable growth.
- Structured product team: A dedicated team, led by a Product Director, now enables strategy and priorities to be orchestrated centrally. Better collaboration and sharing of best practices, with real decompartmentalization of teams.
- Standardization of core software : A common base facilitates one-click deployment and mutualizes development between customers.
- Clarity of roadmaps: each PM has an autonomous roadmap, enabling better prioritization and smoother execution.
- Strategic alignment Product decisions are now connected to business issues, supporting double-digit growth. Deployment time reduced from 6 months to 15 days.

Testimonial
"What I particularly appreciated was Stellar's ability to adapt their recommendations to our level of product maturity. We were starting from scratch and feared that their recommendations would be disconnected from our realities, or that the investment plan would be too heavy. On the contrary, their plan was fully adapted, yet ambitious. That's all it took to get the CODIR and all the teams on board."
