About
Motul is a French industrial company that designs, develops, and distributes lubricants for engines (two-wheelers, automobiles, and other vehicles) aimed at the consumer market (BtoC). The international group also develops cutting-edge products and expertise for industry through its MotulTech activity (BtoB).
Soon after the creation of Sigilium, the Motul teams adopted the synchronized email signature service to ensure uniformity in the brand image conveyed to all group stakeholders.
With a significant challenge: as Motul is present in many countries, it needed a very simple tool with automated management and native integration with its messaging tools.

Accompany the change of messaging system
Motul has centralized the management of its email signatures with Sigilium since 2015. This is for all of its subsidiaries located around the world. The initial deployment of the email signatures was done on Google Workspace in an automated manner. All users were using Gmail for their email.
Switching from Gmail to Outlook
Following a decision by the IT teams, all users have transitioned to the Microsoft environment, and thus to Outlook on PC (and on Mac for some users).

“The ease of use of Sigilium and its quick integration allowed for immediate adoption within Groupe Référence. Our marketing and IT teams save valuable time and we deliver consistent and professional messages in all our communications.”

A seamless transition
Developed for numerous messaging and CRM solutions, Sigilium has allowed IT teams to switch between environments seamlessly for user email signatures.
Specifically,
The centralized management platform remained the same for the Marketing teams.
The heavy changes initiated by IT were able to be carried out progressively, without impacting either the design of the signatures or the centralized dissemination of campaigns.
During the transition period, email signatures were updated on Gmail and Outlook.
Advantages of the Sigilium approach
Sigilium offers native integration on Outlook, with or without a Microsoft 365 license. The installation is done at the email client level only. This allows for easy management of signatures even in a heterogeneous messaging environment, as is the case during the transition from one system to another.

Challenges
In order to better manage email signatures, the Référence Group identified four main challenges:
Standardize the brand image across all communications: following the merger, the Référence Group needed to ensure a consistent and professional brand image in all its email signatures.
Optimize signature management: before Sigilium, email signatures exhibited frequent inconsistencies. The group needed a solution to centralize signature management and ensure a uniform format compliant with brand guidelines.
Facilitate the use and updating of promotional banners: the marketing department wanted to highlight campaigns and events of the group directly in the email signatures, in a simple and accessible way.
Track performance: measure the impact of communication campaigns through email signatures.

Challenges
Optimize the onboarding of new employees : Planity regularly integrates between 10 and 15 new employees each month. The company sought to reduce the time spent on these integrations while ensuring the consistency of email signatures from day one.
Standardize the brand image : before using Sigilium, email signatures varied from one department to another: non-standardized formats, unoptimized images. Planity needed a solution to centralize and normalize this essential part of its communication.
Simplify technical management : incompatibilities with certain devices, such as iPads and iPhones, complicated the management of signatures. Sigilium needed to address these technical challenges while facilitating the synchronization of signatures.
