The Group analyses end customers’ needs and preferences and at the same time precisely recognizes the strategies and expectations of business partners, and consequently it is able to jointly define paths to reach the end customer.

Śnieżka ToC has a professional market research team that supports the entire Group. The pundits taken on there are responsible for monitoring the needs of B2B and B2C customers and, in collaboration with other departments, support the development of product offers. The team prepares also the so-called insights, i.e. information packages on the needs of selected target groups. These materials are used to build strategic competitive advantage for products.

properly designed products,
