ZUGSEIL is a software company specialized in software solutions for equipping people with the goods they require at their job!

At a first glance this looks like a quite simple job and can be solved with a simple intra-organization employee shop. But this impression is deceptive! As these goods are often critical to operations or due to legal requirements, e.g. in personal protective equipment, it is essential to deeply integrate with suppliers along the supply chains. Especially personal equipment bears special product groups which bear variants and even customizable products (e.g. corporate wear). When thinking on full digitalization of your internal procurement you will probably end up with freely configurable products in the area of personal protective equipment (ppe) or medical supplies for individual employees. Also there are business process chains which need to be digitalized to deliver maximum value to our customers, like enforcement of entitlements on a per employee basis per activity or lifecycle-tracking for reuse or refurbishment cycles of equipment to reduce the ecological footprint of companies.

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 fully covered digitally. Although the first step on the path to full digitalization is proper handling the P2P-Processes we have understood that the real value for our customers is to deliver a full digital integration of all business processes required in the entire lifecycle processes of all products relevant to our customer - and mostly important across company borders with the suppliers and customers. We are proud to say that we deliver exactly this purpose 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.

Products

The ZUGSEIL Supply Chain Solutions AG company based in Switzerland offers two brands ZUGSEIL and Advances Tradesphere Tools (ATST) which each serve a different client base.

ZUGSEIL Brand

The ZUGSEIL brand is the area from which we originate - the corporate wear industry. Corporate wear comes with complex products and highly specific business processes, which bring a lot of special requirements on the customer side as well as on the supplier side. Exactly for catering these highly sophisticated business processes and even more variations of interaction we have developed two standard products, which can be onboarded through our website and free online training courses:

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

Advanced Tradesphere Tools (ATST) brand

Although having started as specialty solutions for corporate fashion and personal protective equipment (ppe), we have learned that it is easier for our solutions which are built for solving complex procurement issues across the company borders of our customers to solve simple procurement issues, rather than the other way around. As a result we have developed a more abstract and thus powerful implementation of our tools which can act as a full peer-to-peer procurement solution which is generally usable. Tools of ATST are usable for any kind of procurement and any organization which wants to digitalize their business processes integration with all their partner ecosystem in the entire tradesphere:
