DomPro

What DomPro does

DomPro, legally DOMPRO S.A.S., is a French B2B purchasing central (centrale d'achat) and member network founded in 1996 and headquartered in Roissy-en-France. It serves independent professionals in industrial supply, hardware, building, and welding sectors (the QOFI segment — Quincaillerie, Outillage, Fournitures Industrielles), connecting approximately 210 retail points of sale across France with more than 350 supplier brands and over 500,000 product references. Since January 2021, DomPro has operated as part of the Formusson Distribution group, a family-owned independent trading conglomerate, while retaining its own brand identity and member-network operating model.

The company's core technology stack comprises an e-commerce platform (dompro.fr) with personalized storefronts for each member, the MyDomPro member portal, in-store digital terminals (bornes digitales) for omnichannel experience, and omnichannel marketing/SEO tools. A 5,000 m² centralized logistics platform in Ernée, operational since June 2022, holds approximately 15,000 in-stock SKUs (from a 500,000-reference catalog) and handles direct delivery to member customers, enabling last-mile optimization. Hosting and platform management are delivered through ADEO and Google Cloud Platform.

Commercially, DomPro monetizes through membership-based subscriptions that grant members access to negotiated collective purchasing terms, the centralized catalog, marketing/PACC commercial action plans, training via the 2nd Academy partnership, the Club NEXT successor-development program, and EcoVadis-led RSE support. GTM combines field sales via regional animators, high-touch member events (annual Congress — Malta 2025; Forum des Pros — March 2026, 30th anniversary; regional meetings), and trade-press presence in BPI, Zepros Négoce, and Zepros Safety. Member segments include industrial supply, hardware retail, building/BTP supply, welding, and a "young business heirs" persona for succession planning.
