B2B Integration
Connect your business to partners, suppliers & customers.
Business Benefits
Automate Partner-Centric Processes
Connect your business to your suppliers, customers, banks or any other external agencies to exchange key business documents, such as purchase orders, shipment notifications, medical claims and payments. Safely and securely exchange information with partners using industry message standards and protocols.
With our solution, you can:
- Establish a single gateway for connecting to all partners over any message standard and protocol
- Centralize how you process electronic documents and integrate with core applications
- Centralize partner profile management
- Gain visibility into all electronic exchanges with all partners
Lower Operating Costs
Our solution is cheaper, faster and more scalable than sending a purchase order via the postal service, fax or email. It’s a fraction of the cost of mailing or faxing a document and takes less effort to create and process a document.
Electronic documents are:
- Cheaper and faster to create, send, translate/process, store and archive
- Safer and secure due to available authentication, encryption and signing technologies
- Available for exchange 24/7—so your mailroom doesn’t have to be open for you to receive business documents
Improve Partner Collaboration
Even if you have hundreds or thousands of trading partners, you can simplify and speed up on-boarding B2B partners with Software AG. That’s because our solution has centralized partner setups for partner profiles, documents and protocols. Adding a new document to existing B2B partners is easy—so is making changes to an existing document. Count on periodic exchanges with partners for SSL certificates and SSH keys to be streamlined and secure.
Increase Supply Chain Visibility
Gain visibility into the B2B transactions and develop an understanding of your transaction patterns. You can constantly monitor mission-critical transactions. With early detection of abnormalities, you can head off problems, devise mitigation plans and keep business flowing.
Centralizing partner management gives you a single view of all trading relationships with a global partner. By monitoring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as on-time orders and outstanding payments, you can evaluate partner performance to see where to improve your supply chain.
