Version 2004 of abas Business Software (ERP, PPC, MRP, eBusiness) contains many innovations and enhancements.
Leser opts for new Webshop with abas eB
Leser's online shop has been put into practice by means of the eBusiness solution abas eB which provides highly flexible internet solutions for medium-sized businesses.
KAMEI products are currently available in over 40 countries around the globe.
KAMEI connects the term innovation not only with its own products, but actually lives this concept.
A modern Webshop, which acts as new sales channel and is used to communicate with customers and merchants, has been realized.
For Marian Meier-Andrae, grandson of the company's founder and the person responsible for the areas sales and marketing, the presence on the Internet is of great importance: "There is, however, some effort involved until the entire portfolio is available online and it is also very important that the IT basis is in order as otherwise no synergetic effects can be obtained," he emphasizes.
A Webshop can only be used efficiently in sales, if a flexible ERP/materials management system and the connection to accounting, warehousing and shipping is provided as a basis.
KAMEI decided on the abas Business Software (ERP, PPC, MRP, eBusiness) and the implementation partner alltrotec .
abas eB provides ready-made Web Applications, such as Webshop, Service Center, connection of external systems, customer or management information systems or the connection of vendors.
The abas ERP system with database, full function range and interfaces is available in the background.
The ground work included the integration of the shop into the Kamei Webdesign, as well as designing electronic catalogs in the abas database for the various product ranges.
"It was very important for us that we can access the data directly and carry out the maintenance ourselves".
"We thus have everything in our hand and can implement changes very fast," emphasizes Werner Stoffregen, IT representative at KAMEI.
The abas eB shadow client technology, which enables the update of the shop without interrupting the operation, is very helpful in doing so.
Changes made in abas ERP are, therefore, available online in the Webshop immediately.
Another feature, the shop user database, which manages customer data, was also set up.
In the shopping cart the user can see all data at a glance - from prices to shipping costs.
These data also include the selected payment type - debit note or credit card payment with online validation by the system.
The purchase data is directly transferred to abas ERP to edit the process automatically and a sales order confirmation is set by mail.
Not to forget security: current security standards such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and certificates are integrated.
The abas eB software provides many possible applications, as it is also possible to connect vendors, field workers or subsidiary companies.
This is also the perfect basis for the international expansion because all abas eB applications can be entirely created and operated in several languages.
In general it can be said that many sales goals at KAMEI have been achieved by using the abas Webshop.
Werner Soffregen summarizes: "For us this was the right product at the right time." An important criterion for KAMEI was also the guaranteed future of the software which grows with the requirements of the user and always remains upgradeable.
