Business Communication Platform (PwB2B) - 1 item
It will be a dedicated information management module based on data downloaded from the ERP system database (Comarch ERP XL). PwB2B will be hosted on the server. It will be a module thanks to which the partners will have access to all current and archived documents that were issued for a given partner. It will allow presenting the company's offer along with their description and photos, as well as prices dedicated to a given partner (after taking into account its rebate level, payment dates, etc.). The functionality of the module will ensure the definition and storage of business objects in the B2B system corresponding to the range that will be currently on sale. In addition, this module will allow access to current inventory levels, sending messages and publishing commercial information for partners. The module will be equipped with a partner profile that will allow you to change / update company and contact details. The basic functionality of the module will be providing access to the (web) interface to the system in the online version - which will create the possibility of placing orders in the module itself on the actual inventory, at a given time, and viewing order documents (historically) or re-ordering historical order database (re-execution of historical order). The core of the application will be the MVC3 or MVC4 Framework, with which the following functions will be implemented:
User identification and access rights:
Authorization keys (depending on arrangements) will be based on login, e-mail, password etc. The authorization system, due to the possibility of servicing many partners, will be fully configurable, divided into: administrators, contractors, employees, etc. At any time, it will be possible to add a new one profile of permissions through the interface.
Database
PwB2B will have its own SQL database in which all necessary data to support the application and contractors will be stored. Along with the need, the application will download the necessary information from the Comarch ERP XL database, while creating a coherent structure in its own database.
Communication with the XL database.
PwB2B will communicate with the Comarch ERP XL database to download the data needed to support partners. It will also be possible to send feedback to the XL database, for example to synchronize slopes. The basis for communication will be:
- WebService or REST WebService with implemented data encryption (SSL),
- directly the API of the Comarch ERP XL system,
- direct operations based on Comarch ERP XL,
Access to the data:
PwB2B will enable Partners to automatically access price list files, item lists, view inventory and archival documents such as orders and invoices, as well as sales settlements and reports / reports.
Order and sales service
The PwB2B system has been designed to integrate the supply chain. It will replace the traditional communication channel between COSMO GROUP LIMITED LIABILITY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP COMPANY limited liability company and the recipients. Benefits of implementing PwB2B in the area of procurement:
- monitoring of inventory and pairing of goods inventory on the go
- execution of the contract
- settlement of purchases - so-called three-way settlement of purchases, i.e. reconciliation of the order with an external issue, invoice and payment
- the ability to assign annotations to a specific document (order, external edition, invoice)
The sales area will be served based on the previous order placed on the platform. It will allow to eliminate errors arising with traditional oral and paper form of data exchange.
Communication
A communicator will be implemented in PwB2B enabling quick exchange of information and documents between the parties. The messenger will enable the exchange, versioning and archiving of digital documentation with full preview of the history of agreements between the parties. This will reduce the amount of paper used and automate the circulation of unattended documents in the company. The platform will be a module made available to Partners to implement business processes and will also have several language versions to support foreign partners.
Alarm and notification system
A configurable system will be implemented in PwB2B sending appropriate prompts and alerts to users (e.g. about exceeding the payment deadline, about an upcoming digital document, about issuing an invoice, about the approaching payment date for invoices). The notification area will cover the structure and proper operation of the application. In the event of a data inconsistency or error, the automatic prompt will eliminate duplication of error.
The application will not be a closed product. It will be able to be freely expanded in the future with new functionalities and modules. The advantage of the solution will be no license fees after purchasing the software. The purchase will ensure perpetual usability of the application integrated with the Comarch ERP XL system
