The project will integrate business processes from start to finish. It will also contribute to optimize the commercial management and promotions. It also seeks to encourgae the future digital transformation of the different innovation areas through a better knowledge of the client and the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities.

It is expected that the first phase for the implementation of the project will be concluded in July 2018, with the commissioning of the system in the headquarters and in some subsidiaries, to continue with the rest of our subsidiaries.
