: Yes, OK, if PVE stands for "point de vente électronique". Mais alors, la construction grammaticale ne convient pas: on ne définit pas un "point de vente"...

Discussion
Face à une crise sans précédent, nous assistons à de nouveaux comportements des entreprises : les PVE ont été renforcées, les contrôles des achats accrus et les voyages des collaborateurs sont désormais motivés par des objectifs de rétention de clients.
Jonathan - it could be along the lines of your suggestion. I plan to ask the client.
What are the words that come after "nouveautés", asker? Are they any help?
And talking of using abbreviations without explaining them, what's a TLA? :)
