Jevgenij Polonis says that the quarantine reality has prompted the scale of the business to Western European markets.

Carrier costs are rising, and warehousing capacities are being exceeded. We hear continuously that manufacturing and trading companies experience a never-ending Christmas rush. When capacity expansion is no longer possible, then operations have to be streamlined and more has to be done with the same resources.
Digital solutions are irreplaceable and our solution helps customers eliminate more than two-thirds of operational manual labor, save time, streamline supply chain operations and do up to twice as much work with the available resources. We see that the demand for our product in the is growing because of more attention to sustainability and digitalization of manufacturing companies. That’s why timing for aggressive expansion being first-movers is more than perfect”
