Comarch SA and Mars Poland Sp. z o.o. concluded an agreement for the implementation and service of the Comarch ECOD Distribution business platform within the SaaS model (Software as a Service).

- We are delighted that Mars Poland has decided to choose our Comarch ECOD solution. For Comarch it is another project involving the reporting of market data in the Software as a Service model. We have been conducting projects reporting data from the traditional sales channel since 2004, both in Poland and abroad. It is worth noting that Mars Poland uses many other sales support systems, which need to be integrated into the framework of the Comarch ECOD project - states Bartłomiej Szuper, Consulting Director, ECOD, Comarch.

Comarch ECOD Distributionis a solution that allows covering the entire and highly fragmented retail market. Comarch ECOD Distribution offers comprehensive communication and reporting information from the distribution channel. The integrated service is used both in the conduct of current sales and logistics support processes.

- Comarch ECOD Distribution within the SaaS model is the perfect solution for companies benefiting from the indirect distribution model. Comarch ECOD Distribution characteristics affecting the growing popularity of this design include maturity of the IT tools, a user-friendly platform for communication and the Comarch ECOD Business Portal. Mars’s choice was determined by Comarch's knowledge and experience in implementing projects of this type for the mass-market in the Retail / FMCG sectors - explains Zbigniew Sobierajski, Key Account Manager, Comarch.
