P2plus E-Business

Integrating customer/supplier relationships via the internet is becoming increasingly more important. We now know however that there is no yellow brick road to e-business but that each company has to define and implement its own individual e-business strategy. P2plus has a solution for all current e-business procedures including internet shops for product sale or spare part and service transactions, integration into procurement marketplaces and direct communication between companies using current standard procedures. P2plus' internet orientation make it the ideal tool to implement an e-business strategy.

P2plus Internet Shop
The P2plus Internet Shop is the classic shop solution for a standard product catalog range. Customers can find out about the product range, check prices and availability and submit their orders directly. These then appear in the P2plus MMS module without any further intervention, ready for delivery and invoicing.

Variant manufacturers can integrate the P2plus Product Configurator into the Internet Shop so that customers can configure their products as and how they wish. Customers can also check producibility and determine the sales price even with complex dependencies.

The Internet Shop can also be used as part of a service portal to identify and order spare parts. For maximum comfort, the P2plus Internet Shop also makes it possible to work with BOMs and exploded drawings, a unique selling point.

The P2plus Internet Shop is used as the classic shop solution for a standardized product catalog range.

XML/EDI Processes
Thanks to its XML structure, P2plus also supports a variety of EDI processes (OpenTrans, Microsoft BizTalk Server, Seeburger BIS). P2plus allows you to configure many processes simply and in line with requirements regardless of the individual EDI used; for example, placing orders with EDI business partners, automatically transferring purchase orders or collaborating on internet marketplaces. This is particularly applicable for the automotive industry with its long-established practices.

Supply Chain Management
When we talk about supply chain management (SCM) we mean maximizing supply relationships through the electronic exchange of order data and interweaving production processes between companies. This isn't just a simple matter of exchanging order data. It also involves exchanging medium-term requirement figures, synchronizing stocks online and optimizing resource deployment throughout several companies.

This is where the advantages of P2plus' Web Service architecture come into play. Customers and suppliers can directly access all the planning functions they need via the internet and use them from their local IT systems.
