ZUGSEIL - Plug&Play for Supply-Chains!

ZUGSEIL has invested over the last 25 years to make full digitalization of business processes simple and affordable. Our products integrate nicely with existing ERP-Environments and help our customers to dramatically cut down IT cost. ZUGSEIL is based on the b-op platform, creating even more value through plug-and-play integration between customers and solving all the data privacy issues by design. Through this, we bringing the capability of free supply chain integration.

We initially originated from the corporate wear industry. Corporate wear comes with complex products and highly specific business processes, which bring a lot of sophistication on all levels of the supply chain. These complex processes slowed our initial growth as we had to solve a lot of details. What felt like a bad place to start now is one of our biggest advantages over competition: A full mass-customization process core, allowing us to deploy our standard software, where competitors have to summon huge project teams or just surrender.

Also - for catering these highly complex business processes along the supply chain we required strong collaboration. Therefore deep digital integration between suppliers and customers was a must. Again, this very high complexity level, which came right from the start made our ZUGSEIL BEST product having a product core, which does offer an unprecedented level of options in process of procurement, but also the processes before and after the procurement processes have started or finished. Again an area, where our competition can not go, or just go with huge projects.

Way beyond procurement!

Procurement staff has a lot of tasks which can be devided in two fractions. one, which is creating sustainable value for the enterprise, and another one which is repetitive work. ZUGSEIL wants to support its customers with:

  • deep supply chain digitalization The ZUGSEIL Supply Chain Solutions AG company offers products, which can plug-and-play with other B-Op Digitals supply chain software - as being based on the b-op technology. And the best "plug-and-play" does not mean giving up date sovereignty. All your data stay with you, not only logically but even physically if you want this!
  • reduction of repetitive work to zero ZUGSEIL`s tool do not just think of the Procure-To-Pay or Source-To-Pay processes. The complexity starts when these common processes have not yet started or have already ended:
    • Before a good product can be ordered the right supplier must be identified (only price and picture are not a good base for procurement decisions) and product eventually must be configured to the exact needs of the organization!
    • After a good has been recieved, a quality control, lifecycle tracking makes sense
    • Equipment management for the employee working with these goods is a major issue
    • There are procurement goods (like mobile phones, digital subscriprions, ...) which cannot be procured only but require management until cancellation.
  • humans in doing what they can do best
    • Find the right partners for building a stable supply chain
    • Design supply and value chains
    • Handle exceptions, where machines and AI fails
For some of these tasks there already exist tools, but ZUGSEIL BEST is the first to integrate them into one product.

ZUGSEIL Products

ZUGSEIL BEST

  • ZUGSEIL BEST - for the customer side, which has to equip their employees with corporate fashion or ppe
  • ZUGSEIL BEST Supplier - for the supplier side, which has to integrate with the customer side and deliver products and services to them.

ZUGSEIL ProcurementPro

Although having started as specialty solutions for corporate fashion and personal protective equipment (ppe) which are sold under the ZUGSEIL brand, we have learned that it is easier for our solutions which are built for solving complex procurement issues of our customers to solve simple procurement issues, rather than the other way around when using standard P2P or S2P solutions.

Therefore we have created a set of tools similar to ZUGSEIL BEST products, but stripped from all the specifics of textile procurement and there therefore even easier to adopt for our customers which do not have the focus of solving their textile demands.

ZUGSEIL CONFIDE

One of the early research focus was mass customization which is part of our DNS. As a result we have developed the ZUGSEIL Confide Design Studio, which allows the standardized creation of configurator solution spaces and propagation of these solution spaces in b-op catalogs. This unique feature-set is sold as an addon product to all other ZUGSEIL products.

ZUGSEIL ANALYTICS COMMUNITY

Our ZUGSEIL Analytics Community is a community which each ZUGSEIL customer may join on a subscription model. It offers to its subscribers a platform to request individual reports and dashboard elements, e.g. to specific product groups, at a very reduced price. Once they are implemented, ZUGSEIL documents them nicely and describes the contents so the community can find them. The so published elements can then be used by the subscribers of the ZUGSEIL Analytics community to form highly individualized dashboards and reports.

ZUGSEIL Custom Solutions

We have been encountering more and more special requests by customers along our journey. Together with our implementation partners we have developed more abstract tools plus a set of functionality which can act as a full peer-to-peer ERP solution. It can be used for supply chain management for all types of products - and of course c parts. Therefore, the tools are ideal for all organizations which wants to drive their digital business process integration with all partners in their entire trade sphere ecosystem:

Sport level products (advanced functionality, requires training sessions with your teams)

  • ATST Procurement Suite - a full procurement-suite which comes with many advanced functionality for supply chain management
  • ATST Supplier Suite - a full suite for handling most of the supplier tasks required for integration with the customers

Performance level products (top notch functionality, project management and training required, custom functionality)

b-op

The b-op website

Over the last 25 years ZUGSEIL has been looking into various product groups and tried to understand the specifics of these, because we have learned early that the full digital dividend will only happen to our customers, when all processes are entirely covered and the interacting parties communicate digitally. Most vendors believe that proper handling of the Procure-To-Pay or Source-To-Pay Processes do the trick, but the real value for our customers requires the entire fulfillment and lifecycle processes of all products to be implemented. With old fashioned systems this takes tons of interfaces, which is very expensive. Most standard-interface-systems like EDI are not even close to being capable of achieving this. So we are very proud to say that we deliver exactly this value with our products being based on the B-Op technology, enabling our customers to fully integrate their processes with all partners in your companies unique ecosystem without huge IT investments to be made.

ZUGSEIL builds products which serve customers active in the Trade Sphere and Employment Sphere. Please click on the provided links to read up further details on how ZUGSEIL supports the business cases in these spheres.

How to read this wiki

This wiki has the intention to deliver an integrated knowledge base to all stakeholders in the b-op tradesphere on the customer as well as our side. Ranging from the users on the client side, sales consultants and implementing project managers from a project partner company to the developers on our own team. We believe that this holistic approach can help for better comunication between all these parties. You can read up in this article on the basic structure of this wiki.
