No inflated storytelling: every venture below exists, runs and can be measured. The dates, the figures, the milestones.
2010
This is where it started. In 2010, in Orléans, we launched a franchise network dedicated to used vehicles. The concept grew and branched into several complementary banners: BH Car for vehicle sales, BH Atelier for servicing and repair, BH Pare-Brise for auto glass.
Fifteen years on, the network covers the whole of France: recruiting and supporting franchisees, structuring processes, multi-brand development. It is the school of the field — and the proof that the model works.

Hexagone Automotive is a French company offering digital products and software for used-car sales professionals, through several brands: Vroomiz, Optimcar and Vobiz.
It is the logical extension of the field: after years running branches, we knew exactly which tools used-car sellers were missing. Hexagone builds them.
Today more than 900 dealers rely on these products on a recurring basis, with over 14,000 vehicles available for sale and more than 40,000 vehicles sold per year across the ecosystem.
ProGarage is far more than workshop management software: it is a complete environment built around independent repair shops. More than 300 mechanics across France rely on it every day to run their business, structure their workshop and grow their customer base.
Quotes, scheduling, margin, website, online booking: every tool was designed in the field, alongside mechanics, with one strong conviction — independents are stronger when they equip themselves like the large networks, without giving up any of their freedom.
ProGarage now brings together a community of professionals who share the same standards: work better, invoice better, and win back time for what they really love, the mechanics.

I learned the automotive trades with nobody to guide me. Forge exists so that you do not have to.
Forge will be a mentoring programme for aspiring automotive professionals, and for those already in business who want to perform better and get stronger results. The idea: pass on what made our networks grow — structuring a business, growing used-vehicle trade, managing several brands and building a solid organisation.
No abstract theory: everything taught has been tested in the field, across more than 100 branches and more than 10,000 vehicles sold every year.
