Bang & Bonsomer Group is a group of companies engaged in the implementation of smart technologies and materials, including the field of accounting automation. Smart material technologies are a combination of distribution, own products, smart process technology solutions, services, and own application laboratories/technical centers. Bang & Bonsomer operates in 9 different countries.
The previous automation system was almost completely redesigned and this ultimately led to difficulties in the update. The company held a competition to select the best new product. Upon completion of testing various solutions, Bang & Bonsomer made a choice in favor of the modern 1C:ERP software, developed on the 1C:Enterprise platform since the execution of business processes in almost all scenarios didn’t require any improvements. This integration project was named “Sputnik”.
Cinimex company was chosen as a project performer. Bang & Bonsomer has been successfully collaborating with them for more than 11 years.
