B i e n v e n i d o a m o d d o . c o m - N u e s t r a H i s t o r i a

In 1996 ZapaNET, the pioneering vertical portal for Footwear, Accessory and Component Industry Professionals, was born. A Doctorate degree investigation conducted by the founder and managing director, Diego de Vicente, successfully demonstrated that cutting edge technologies could eliminate all the existing barriers in the physical market that impede or make GLOBAL commerce difficult for the companies in of the sector, independent of their size or geographic position. Thanks to the demand and support by many entrepreneurs and businessmen the investigation turned reality.

What ZapaNET offered gave solutions, from the very beginning, to the real needs of this industry, such as relocation of stock, the search for new client and suppliers or the collection and interpretation of information concerning trends in fashion.

 
International Recognition.- The success of the development and focal point of business in this portal brought International recognition to the ZapaNET team through a 'Special Commendation' in 'Trading Award' presented by the prestigious British Editorial Group The Economist in 1998. This was the first time that a Spanish company succeeded in reaching the final in the prestigious International Competition 'Information Strategy Award', in which more than 1,000 companies from the EU participated.

From ZapaNET to moddo.com.- After a prudent period of time in which the Spanish footwear, component and complements industry served as a testing model that demonstrated the viability of the project, ZapaNET began its international expansion in July 2000, coinciding with its participation in FRANCAL (the most important footwear fair in Brazil). ZapaNET presented its new name and image in response to the need to adapt to a constantly evolving market and in order to reflect its corporate image and experience that it had acquired in e-commerce to the date. From now on moddo.com replaces ZapaNET and becomes the new portal.

Investors support.- The solid management of moddo.com has confirmed this business reality and gained the confidence of groups of investors such as BBVA, 3i, and Venture Park (Bertelsmann Group), with whom moddo.com opened a new era of financial support in November 2000, with a combined investment of over 1 billion pesetas. Currently, the name and image of moddo.com consists of the individual identities of over 800 businesses in the footwear, components and complements industries in 33 countries all over the world. These companies have dedicated themselves to evolve and adapt to a new way of business and development of commercial contacts in an ever changing world.

International expansion.- Proof to global presence and world supply manifested itself, moddo continues its international activity with the incorporation of new distributors/agents/representatives in the most relevant countries of the sector thanks to the program moddo Network. This new international impulse has been translated in a constant growth of the virtual community of professionals who develop commercial relationships and contacts through moddo.com and moddo is represented in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Portugal...

Today moddo.com is the portal of world reference for professionals of the footwear, components and complements industry, undisputed leader in both Electronic Commerce and Value Added Services and Contents. Definitively, moddo.com permits contact between businesses and professionals with the best and most specialized help to offer in order to adapt to the new way of doing business that takes full advantage of the competitive edge that offers the internet.
