To help you in this tâche, we offer the following services:

• draw up a quotation to negotiate the purchase at the best value for money
• order confirmation (the invoice is sent directly to you)
• maintenance of the equipment purchased by us (replacement of bulbs, simple repairs)

Our volume of purchases allows us to negotiate discounts of around 10-15% off current prices (excluding VAT).

Moreover, complex installations that require acoustic and visual ergonomics work are designed by us, and entrusted to service providers capable of installing and carrying out all the necessary work (joinery, pulling cables through ceilings, fitting supports, etc.). For all this work we act as project manager (you are the customer and the supplier acts as project manager).
