CIECH Partners with Comarch for Comarch EDI and E-Invoicing Platform Integration

CIECH, an international chemical industry group and a leading manufacturer of soda ash, baking soda in the European Union, and the largest producer of evaporated salt in Poland, has selected the Comarch EDI platform to initiate cooperation with Comarch. Comarch EDI software, based on cloud technology, will facilitate the electronic exchange of commercial documents between CIECH entities and their business partners in Poland and Germany.

CIECH chose the Comarch solution due to the brand's expertise and the additional system functionalities, which align perfectly with the requirements of large entities. Comarch EDI enables the conversion of invoices from and to various formats and also supports business validations. The use of artificial intelligence introduces an element of automation into accounting operations, which in turn minimizes human errors and speeds up work.

At CIECH Group, safety is our top priority, and Comarch’s solution has provided us with the requisite level of security. The platform's independence from systems generating and receiving EDI documents, as well as its existing connections with most potential business partners, are additional advantages that enhance the efficiency of our teams – says Tomasz Moroń, IT Director at the CIECH Group.

The process of starting EDI communication with business partners is according to our experience, not only a technical challenge, but also an organizational one, because it involves the coordination of many independent entities. We are glad that we will be able to support the Ciech group with our experience in this area – says Łukasz Barchański, Comarch EDI Consulting Director.
