Cerrad Chooses Comarch's Solution for Reporting Data from Distributors
Cerrad and Comarch have signed an agreement for the implementation and maintenance of the Comarch Online Distribution platform together with the Comarch Online Sales Support reporting module. The solution will enable regular reporting of information about distributors' inventories, and provide sell-out data of the manufacturer's products for retail customers.
Bearing in mind how crucial it is for us as a manufacturer to have access to daily updated market data, we chose the Comarch Online Distribution platform in order to obtain comprehensive information from the traditional sales channel. Comarch's experience will allow us to benefit rapidly from the implemented solution – Filip Cegłowski Chief Strategy Officer at Cerrad.
Our solution allows us to receive comprehensive information from the manufacturer's distribution network. All data obtained from the market are mapped, business-verified, harmonized, and updated automatically, every day. The processed data can be accessed by Cerrad employees via the Comarch Online Sales Support reporting platform, which is available 24/7 - comments Grzegorz Mikuś, Consulting Director at Comarch.

Comarch Online Distribution is a modern reporting and communication platform, which provides manufacturers with daily electronic data on sell-out from distributors to final points of sale in an automated manner, along with the current status of inventories at each of the distributor's branches. Reporting takes place through interfaces installed in the distributors' ERP systems, and all data are mapped appropriately, unified and verified by Comarch before being transferred to the manufacturer. The manufacturer can use the built-in reporting tool (Comarch Online Sales Support) or export the data to an in-house tool, in order to use this information to analyze and assess market potential, and optimize sales and distribution strategies, production and logistics.
