Via the browser interface customers, suppliers and employees have controlled access to abas ERP data. Using for example EWI, an easily supported webshop is quickly installed. Orders are automatically processed by abas ERP. The shop uses the price finding integrated in abas ERP. The catalog is centrally supported and controlled by the ERP system. A sales order tracing with ERP web interface is also possible. With EWI clients are able to inspect the processing status of their orders. The in EWI integrated external order recording simplifies operational processes and supports therefore an effective corporate organisation.

Comprehensive Service Portfolio
