Requirements
Until a few years ago, communication was mainly handled via e-mail and telephone,
so they desperately needed a modern IT solution to meet the high demands
of the constantly growing company. The IT department therefore pushed
for a portal that could be accessed from all locations to simplify the collaboration.
The company wanted to be able to integrate existing data in the portal and to use
it internationally.
Solution
To create the portal the Zahoransky AG used the platform-independent Intrexx
Xtreme software, which has a process manager and options for integrating external
data, in addition to numerous ready-to-use templates. For one thing, the
portal is used for internal administration, such as appointments, resource planning,
newsletters, announcements, quality management, and document management
of patents. For another, it is used to merge important financial and
company data from various departments, locations, and software systems. Data
from the ERP system from logistics, stock and purchasing is as well integrated as
CAD, bookkeeping and CRM data. The different software systems are thereby
consolidated with a standard interface. The sales and distribution department can
see exact stock figures from all locations when it makes quotations. Access to the
external databases runs in the background and there is no need to manually
import or export data. In addition, production orders are placed over the portal in
a sort of production pool, where they can be dispatched to the production lines
of the individual plants, depending on the workload.
Benefits
- Increased simplification of processes
- One Web interface for all data
- Eliminates data redundancy
- Worldwide access
- Faster cycle time for quotations and production orders
- Capacity-based production planning can be done quickly and simply
- Portal system can be enhanced as needed
