ZUGSEIL P2P Hub is a tool for connecting with 3rd party it systems along the procure-to-pay or return-to-refund process chains.

Intra digital connection

In this scenario the digital uses the P2P Hub to communicate with 3rd party systems within its IT landscape.

Example: Connection with an ERP, Warehousing Management of Finance systems

Cross digital connection

In this scenario the digital is receiving or sending information from a 3rd party system within another party.

Example: Connection with a remote api or marketplace acting on behalf of a 3rd party.

The P2P Hub Coreservice is covering these 4 basic integration paths and mixtures of them:

  • Supplier's b-op digital to customer's 3rd party product (Integration path SDC3) - see details here ...
  • Supplier's b-op digital to supplier's 3rd party product (Integration path SDS3) - see details here ...
  • Customer's b-op digital to supplier's 3rd party product (Integration path CDS3) - see details here ...
  • Customer's b-op digital to customer's 3rd party product (Integration path CDC3) - see details here ...

These integrations are coming along with common plugins, which allow connectivity to stand-systems with very small effort of plugin-configuration. If any of the 3rd party solutions are not on our standard list, you can create customized plugins through our project partners.
