Whether it is consulting, developing or the architecture around it, we have in-house expertise. Our HQ is in Ghent, but we have no less than 9 other offices globally. Next to our Miles offering we are actively expanding our product portfolio with SaaS based solutions.

Our ERP-software is called 'Miles' and is meant for automotive finance, leasing, fleet, and mobility management. It's an end-to-end solution encompassing front-, mid
- and back-office functions that can be extensively configurated to the customers' needs. Our customers are leasing and finance companies, and mobility management companies in the finance and automotive sector.

As a Business Development Manager at Sofico, you produce new business sales revenue from a subscription-based license model and professional services.

You accomplish this through account planning, territory planning, researching prospective customers, using business development strategies, and completing field-based sales activities within a defined set of prospects and clients in France.
