Agediss

What Agediss does

Agediss is a French specialized logistics provider focused on the transport, installation, and reverse logistics of furniture and bulky goods, tracing its origins to 1961 as family-owned Transports Girard. Following successive ownership changes — Arcole Industries (2010), the Otto Group's HFH subsidiary (2016), and most recently Jacky Perrenot (2024) — the company today operates as 'Agediss by JP' under the legal entity GIRARD AGEDISS, a French SAS. It serves both B2B professionals (importers, distributors, and furniture manufacturers) and B2C end-customers, with named enterprise customers including Ikea, Alinea, Ligne Roset Cinna, and Auchan.

The operating footprint comprises 35 agencies across France and Belgium organized around a 36,000 m² logistics hub in Mer, four warehouse sites totaling 76,000 m² of storage, 300 vehicles purpose-built for oversized items, and 76 Pick & Go collection points. The product suite is structured in four lines: Pro (B2B transport, inventory management, complex installation, and assembly for businesses and local authorities), Particulier (B2C home delivery with Basic kerbside and Premium room-of-choice tiers and 2-hour appointment windows), Log (industrial batch transport and storage), and Pick & Go (consumer pickup). Supporting technology includes route optimization software, real-time shipment tracking via smartphone app, and AI-powered analysis of consumer satisfaction surveys; the Mer hub holds HQE/BREEAM environmental certification and the fleet includes Renault Master ZE electric variants.

The business model is logistics-services based, not platform or marketplace: revenue is generated via customized transactional fees on B2C delivery (pay-as-you-go, quote-based on weight, volume, and tier), recurring/managed B2B logistics contracts, industrial storage fees, and collection-point service fees. Distribution is direct (own fleet and agencies) for France and Belgium, supplemented by the MACH 3000 partner network for broader European reach. Go-to-market combines direct B2B sales with B2C delivery services sold through partnerships with major e-commerce and retail chains, supported by recycling partnerships with Eco-Systèmes and Eco-Mobilier.
