The more the inter-company processes are digitalized, the more value is generated for the customer and the supplier side!

Since 2016 in an ideal world, all business participants can have their own b-op digital and are fully and digitally integrated at no cost. But the Procure-To-Pay (P2P) process chain has been around way before 2016 and has been target for digitalization for long time. As a result of this legacy software exists for this process chain, each with a lot of customers which can not just switch to a b-op based system at once, but must ways to at least partially use the benefits instead before a migration project can start.

Although the benefits of employing the b-op technology in this area of business, these parties must be able to integrate with the early adopters of the b-op technology with as least as possible effort. For exactly this purpose we have developed the ZUGSEIL P2P Hub.

The ZUGSEIL P2P Hub is a product which enables ZUGSEIL users to interact with not b-op based parties by leveraging legacy systems and technologies.

Functionality

Supplier side Integration

ZUGSEIL offers through the P2P Hub a product allowing to integrate suppliers with minimal IT effort,

Customer ERP to Supplier Digital Integration

This form of integration applies, if the customer does not use b-op, but the supplier uses b-op. In this case the customer may send purchase orders through

Supplier ERP Integration

This form of integration applies, when the customer and the supplier use b-op, but the supplier still operates another ERP system in parallel. In this case the digital and the ERP have to option to communicate over these standard integration methods:

  • Customer Order Creation Integration - This allows the supplier digital to push customer orders, which automatically arrived over the b-op network, to the ERP through a Supplier-CustomerOrder-TransmitterPlugin. Whenever a customer order arrives in the supplier digital, it is converted into the desired transport format and delivered to the desired connector of the ERP.
  • Customer Order Status Integration - This allows the ERP to push customer order status notices over a Supplier-CustomerOrderStatus-ReceiverPlugin. Whenever the ERP confirms a delivery, this information is transported to the digital which communicates it to the customer digitals over the b-op network.
  • Shipment Notice Integration - This allows the ERP to push shipment notices over a Supplier-ShipmentNotice-ReceiverPlugin. Whenever the ERP confirms a delivery, this information is transported to the digital which communicates it to the customer digitals over the b-op network.
  • Invoice Integration - This allows the ERP to push invoices over a Supplier-InvoiceNotice-ReceiverPlugin. Whenever the ERP creates an invoice, this information is transported to the digital which communicates it to the customer digitals over the b-op network.

Customer side integration

Supplier Digital to Customer Digital Integration

This form of integration applies, when the supplier does not have its own digital and therefore the functionality of the b-op network is not availble. In this case the customer digital can digitally communicate with the supplier over these standard integration methods:

  • Purchase Order Creation Integration - Whenever a purchase order is finally approved, the digital can transmit it to the vendor's ERP through a Vendor-PurchaseOrder-TransmitterPlugIn.
  • Customer Order Status Integation - Whenever a customer order status changes on the vendor's side, the vendor can transmit a status update to the customer's digital through a Vendor-PurchaseOrderStatus-ReceiverPlugin.
