ZUGSEIL Supply Chain Network (ZSCN)
Driver for many of the unique selling prepositions is our ZUGSEIL's Supply Chain Network, which bases on the b-op technology. It allows ZUGSEIL users free information exchange with no interfacing projects and decentral data storage.
Core features
In combination with any ZUGSEIL product this allows:
- creation of individual partner ecosystems with plug&play
- create of supply chains of unlimited depth
- unique privacy protection options by allowing physical decentralization
- Finegrained supply chain information control - each player in the supply chains may individually define which information should be shared with upstream partners or downstream partners
- total absence of transaction fees
- cross company business process communication with no interface projects
- build your own marketplaces or purchasing communities with the partners of your individial business ecosystems
- higher productivity through digital collaboration
- massive savings potential - no further cross company communication tools are required (like EDI, P2P-Networks, Supply-Chain-Integration, Marketplaces, ... )
Collaborative supply chain
Supply chain collaboration means that companies can work together as if they were one although they operate fully independent.
ZUGSEIL's collaborative supply chain network delivers a couple of valuable options to upstream (suppliers) and downstream partners (customers):
- bidirectional supply chain base data exchange - Digital delivery options transmission and multi-level category management tools
- downstream catalog transmission - Sharing catalogs downstream is essential for any action in the trade sphere
- downstream availability information - automated information of upstream parties (suppliers) to downstream parties (customers) on current and future availability of goods
- upstream order transmission - orders are automatically transported to suppliers
- upstream dependency notification - automated information to upstream parties on scheduled supply chain actions and required deliveries
- downstream deliverability notifications - automated information to downstream partners on supply chain on probable or imminent suppy chain breaks due to deliverability changes
- downstram fulfillment status transmission - the delivery chain status is automatically shared with downstream parties.
- upstream returns transmission - suppliers are notified on upcoming returns and can prepare
- downstream returns status transmission - return are processed at suppliers, but the results are shared automatically to customers.
- downstream electronic billing and crediting - bill are created and digitally transmitted to customers
- electronic invoice checks - bills need to be verfiied and only if they are, transmitted to book keeping
IT landscape augmentation
No matter if you want to use ZUGSEIL tools or continue to use a preexisting ERP system, the ZUGSEIL Supply Chain Network can be used to enable the advanced collaboration capabilities of b-op.
For this purpose, ZSCN can be integrated easily into any preexisting landscape, without the necessity to use ZUGSEIL frontend products at all. We have a sophisticated integration tools:
- system integration tools, which allow various integration scenarios with for most common ERPs like Navision, SAP, ...
- a sophisticated b-op API, which allows integration of external systems by any 3rd parties to which you allow to access your data.
Only preexisting P2P support technologies, like EDI, can co-exist but are in essence obsolete, delivering less value whilst costing more.
