Comarch is implementing a class EDI solution for the Sanofi-Aventis

Comarch and Sanofi-Aventis signed a multi-year agreement on the implementation and maintenance of the Comarch ECOD Platform - EDI solutions  exchange electronic documents with pharmaceutical distributors.

- We have signed an agreement that will improve our logistics processes. Although the pharmaceutical industry was one of the first which began to use EDI solutions it was not carried out an automated way - data was transmitted via floppy disk or by telephone. The current implementation, thanks to Comarch ECOD Operator will allow communication between the Sanofi-Aventis ERP system and distributors to be realized directly, without involving people - says Barbara Partyka, Logistic Manager at Sanofi-Aventis.

-  We will begin electronic document exchange with transferring orders, invoices and the product catalog. During the next stage we plan to eliminate paper invoices and switch to e-invoice, which due to Comarch ECOD Archive will be stored in a safe and lawful manner - says Krzysztof Dodge, Business Information Solutions Manager.

The Comarch ECOD Platform is a comprehensive B2B solution that converts thousands of electronic documents between 13 thousand companies in Poland and abroad every day. The Comarch ECOD Platform which is based on the EDI technology (Electronic Data Interchange - Electronic exchange of documents) enables many companies from various industries to optimize business processes and logistics and achieve cost reduction, among others from, the withdrawal of paper documents.

Sanofi is now the largest pharmaceutical company in Europe and one of the world's leading. It employs more than 100,000 employees in over 100 countries worldwide. Sanofi's headquarters are located in Paris. The company has remained at the forefront of the Polish market for years.  Additional information is available at www.sanofi-aventis.pl
