Colas accelerates the roll out of Rockease, its marketplace for purchasing construction materials

Designed for professionals in the construction and development industries, from tradespeople to large groups, Rockease is a digital platform (marketplace) specialising in the purchase of aggregates. From requesting an estimate to invoicing, Rockease provides access to the entire market in just a few clicks, simplifies exchanges and offers its customers a transparent and seamless purchasing experience while maintaining a human connection. In a market that is still relatively undigitised, local and fragmented, Rockease aims to become the leader in the online purchasing of aggregates, with 7 million tonnes sold per year by 2030. 

Thanks to a network of 1,300 listed production sites, nearly one million tonnes of materials have already been ordered in one year via the Rockease marketplace. Building on these initial results, which confirm the solidity of the model and demonstrate the dynamics of digitalisation in the construction and development sector, Rockease has set itself the goal of increasing this figure sevenfold within five years.  

To achieve this, the platform intends to accelerate its development by expanding its user base to include new profiles such as large multisite companies, tradespeople as well as landscapers, while continuing to develop partnerships with materials producers throughout France.  

“Rockease combines the simplicity of a marketplace for purchasing construction materials with the expertise of a century-old group, benefiting from both industrial and operational roots. This unique positioning allows it to test its digital solution on a large scale in the field and thus be able to bring on board as many partners as possible,” said Virginie Meyrignac, President of Rockease.
