Case Study: BIC Group achieves secure, efficient international EDI and paperless invoicing with Comarch EDI

Bic - Customer Case Study

BIC Group, a global leader in stationery, lighters and razors present in 160 countries, needed to rethink its EDI platform to gain greater efficiency, security and flexibility and to outsource EDI management across its European partners. Following a 2011 RFP, BIC selected Comarch and its Comarch EDI solution to deliver an international, standards-compliant platform able to connect ~200 partners across 20 countries.

Comarch implemented the Comarch EDI platform in a Big Bang migration supported by a detailed migration plan and communication strategy, covering partner onboarding, mapping, ERP integration, secure transmission, e‑invoicing and tracking. The deployment processed ~15,000 documents monthly, supported 8 message types and multiple standards (EDIFACT, TRADACOM, XML), integrated with BIC’s ERP and ticketing tools, provided a 13‑language service desk and enabled paperless invoicing in France, Germany and Belgium — delivering cost reductions, greater flexibility and improved operational efficiency for BIC.
