Integration Engine
Center of Excellence Integration Engine – ConnectBase-ERP/PLM
You may choose to share information between the Saphran software modules
and other applications such as ERP, PDM or your financial systems. Information
sharing can yield more value from your investment in the Saphran solution
by providing immediate access to data in external systems and minimizing
data redundancy. To expedite integration, Saphran provides standard integration
points for building custom connections and an Integration Engine that
communicates with other systems through pre-built adapters.
Via Saphran’s SmartLink™ technology, a unique relationship
can be built between ERP (what did I make system), PLM (what do I want
to make) and PMO, Predictive Margin Optimization (how do I make more
money and reduce risks). Saphran’s user interface for ConnectBase
handles the many inaccurate part numbers and customer names to build
a high quality link between these systems for the first time.
Imagine:
- Easily comparing actual ship history to last years and five
year ago forecast to
learn out to forecast better with your customer.
- Easily
comparing today’s current material and component
costs with forward
quoted costs and allowing deflation or inflation
of those forward costs.
- Easily keeping ERP, PLM, Business Planning and
Quoting/Costing in alignment
with virtual elimination of duplicate
or redundant parts or opportunities.
- Really understanding where your
really are making money by customer,
part type, region, or about 100
other attributes.
ERP and PLM systems on their own do not have this
capability, but Saphran Solutions software using ConnectBase is helping
leverage these earlier or planned investments in ERP or PLM.
