"Medium-sized" is an umbrella term that covers a broad spectrum of companies ranging from the wholesaler with 10 employees and € 5 million annual turnover to medium-sized industrial groups with over 1,000 employees, several locations throughout Europe and sometimes over € 250 million annual turnover. The number of workstations can be another decisive size indicator. AP's satisfied customers include those with as few as five workstations as well as some with over 500 workstations.

Different industries also make very different demands of their individual solution. This is where the performance scope of P2plus proves its worth, and which numerous references can confirm. In addition to (technical) wholesalers and commercial enterprises, the core target group also includes industrial companies from diverse sectors. Mechanical engineering in all its diversity represents a particularly key industry:

Parts and components manufacturers
Special tool or plant engineering
Tool engineering and
Automotive suppliers in particular

Manufacturers of measuring and control technology or other electronic products feature as prominently as construction suppliers and system engineering companies. P2plus is also strongly geared towards service companies in the following areas in particular:

Plant maintenance
Leasing and
IT system vendors

These are only P2plus' main areas of application. P2plus is also frequently tailored to meet the needs of more exotic industries thanks to the ease with which it can be customized and extended.

A clear customer profile is not only the basis for successful product specification. AP AG's entire business model is explicitly geared towards the requirements of medium-sized companies. This means clear and transparent application structures, a simple easy-to-use user interface, standardized tools and technology that allows the software to be customized to company-specific requirements, not forgetting an excellent utility-price ratio. It also means choosing the Microsoft .NET platform as the technical foundation of the entire system. Programming systems, basic Microsoft components and the standard hardware systems used meet the expectations of medium-sized companies in the best way possible. Hundreds of thousands of qualified experts around the world can implement and manage such systems. This eliminates reliance on local specialists or niche providers for maintaining the IT infrastructure.

For AP AG, customer orientation doesn't just mean creating products in line with requirements. It also means professional implementation and long-term administration. AP AG's implementation concept relies first and foremost on a team of experienced project leaders. Together with the customer's project team, this group of broadly trained generalists ensures quick, purposeful and efficient system implementation in clear project teams.

For every area of expertise imaginable and every technical component, our comprehensive pool of project engineers has the right specialist. Specialists can be called in to assist at any time during implementation and thus contribute to the overall success of the project.

P2plus sets itself apart with its fully open and transparent system structure. This is where the big advantage of XML Web Services comes into play. In addition, every customer receives the entire system as source text. This makes it possible for employees of the user company to independently undertake any of the tasks involved in customizing and maintaining the standard system or developing company-specific interfaces. This clearly saves costs. Most companies already have the necessary qualifications and software tools (Visual Studio .NET, Microsoft Office, SQL).
