In the retail industry it is becoming apparent, like in other industries too, that the IT is not the only one creating guidelines for efficient processes, but covers the requirements of particular departments with process oriented software solutions. The efficient consumer response standard (ECR), used by the GS1 Germany, is able to accomplish exactly that and considers the supply as well as the demand side. ECR emphasizes above all process automations in the retail industry, for example the integration of suppliers or regarding an efficient flow of information. These targets can only be achieved if business processes are examined and optimized via the complete supply chain – from the supplier via the manufacturer up till the trading company and ultimately the customer. The automation of processes is therefore an appropriate approach.

The inubit AG, as an active member of the GS1 Germany, recognized the need for action and offers therefore module based software solutions organized in different process packages. These include EANCOM / WebEDI solutions for integrating suppliers, Invoice Management for the faster, easier and less error-prone processing of invoices or the embedding of electronic signatures in documents.

Process documentation

Vertical organizations, horizontal processes: this combination leads with increasing largeness of a company to more and more unclear structures. Eventually no one knows exactly who, when, what, with what – and above all why – someone does.
