Catom Annual Report 2020 EN

Further work took place in 2020 to render the IT environment more professional and to improve efficiency. The largest project was an upgrade of the ERP system. Furthermore, a survey was carried out, together with an expert consultant into the security of Catom’s IT environment. Several areas for improvement were identified and the improvements have been implemented in the meantime. The percentage of PDF- invoicing further increased to 83%. With the further growth of the retail network and with Catom taking a number of petrol stations under own operation, the number of employees saw a further increase. On balance, the number of employees increased from 266 FTEs (2019) to 275 FTEs (2020). At year-end 2020, 391 people were employed by Catom. Also,

during the reporting year some fifty employees were added by means of a pay rolling construction with the acquisition of two petrol stations. They will be employed by the organisation itself in 2021.
