Product categories are the knowledge root for

As a result ZUGSEIL has dedicated tools for product category management and offers category specific process chains through ordering assistants .
Benefits
Our customers have these benefits with this:
- Externalization of knowhow - Make this knowledge available to entire staff through the "Where do i order what?" portal fully integrated in purchasing portal.
- Full digitalization of the demand definition process - not just for plain vanilla products like stationary material, but also for configurable products, lending, ...
- Full integrated with sorrounding processes - like equipment management, context based ordering, ...
- End-To-End digitalization - Fully integrated with warehousing and fulfillment, no matter if fulfillment is done internally or by partners.
Examples
- Printshop - After demand definition, potential suppliers are automatically contacted and a RFP process is triggered. The best matching supplier can be chosen automatically or manually by a ruleset and a purchase order is placed and then fulfilled in the procure-to-pay process
- Equipment managment - A growing customer base is managing equipment of their staff members. This is not just the procurement process, but also integrates the equipment and entitlement management and returns management.
- Context based ordering - Construction companies have per job a set of suppliers and have job specific price agreements and product selections. This can be fully digitalized from demand definition to payment with ZUGSEIL.
