How Les Moulins Familiaux are leaving paper behind to improve safety, traceability and performance
About Les Moulins Familiaux
Les Moulins Familiaux brings together four French mills recognized in the milling industry: Les Moulins de Chars, Les Moulins de Chérisy, Les Moulins de Brasseuil, and Moulin Paul Dupuis. Built on deep-rooted traditional expertise, they combine historical know-how with a strong culture of innovation to support professionals with high-quality flours, produced in compliance with industrial and regulatory standards.
In a flour mill, precision is essential: every check, inspection round, and record directly contributes to the quality of the final product. At Moulins de Chars, this culture of rigor is deeply embedded in daily operations. However, before Datizy deployment, operational monitoring relied entirely on paper records – a reliable method that had become limited in the face of growing traceability and performance requirements.
The Trigger: Improving Reliability Without Adding Complexity
At Les Moulins de Chars, the objective was clear: secure operational records without making field work more complex.

The Move to Digital
To modernize the monitoring of its operations, Les Moulins de Chars chose to deploy Datizy’s inspection rounds management module.
The transition was smooth:
- Team training
- Seamless implementation
- Rapid adoption by users
Field operations remained the same. The recording method, however, changed dramatically.
What Changed in Practice
Instant Visibility
No more paper binders to search through.
Managers can now access in just a few clicks:
- Completed tasks
- Tasks still to be performed
- The full history of inspections
Reporting becomes immediate.
Audit-Ready Processes
Following the deployment, an audit confirmed the reliability of the new system: no remarks were made regarding record management.
A strong validation of the robustness and rigor of the processes in place.
Enhanced Field Evidence
The ability to attach photos to inspections adds a new dimension to operational records.
Beyond simple declarations, each action can now be visually documented, strengthening traceability and improving monitoring quality.
A Simple Yet Structuring Change
The way teams work in the field remains the same.
But data reliability reaches a new level, with over 3,500 photo proofs collected over 12 months.

What’s Next?
Les Moulins de Chars plans to continue its modernization journey by deploying document management.
A new step toward simplifying internal processes and further strengthening the organization’s digital structure.
