SODILOG START-UP
Patrick MASSON founded the company SODILOG (Société de distribution et logistique) in Colmar (68). The company's mission was to serve as a service provider using decision-makers or influencers who choose the products. Additionally, suppliers entrusted the company with tasks such as repurchasing, delivery, and invoicing of goods (mainly shoes). The company's clients were various purchasing centers of large and medium-sized retail chains. At that time, the company had only two employees and did not own any warehouse, outsourcing storage to transport companies.
