Companies urgently need to digitize and automate their purchasing processes. Tailor-made solutions for all suppliers are in demand and sought after. Retarus Procurement Solutions offer tailor-made solutions for A, B and C suppliers, with which communication processes can be digitized and automated regardless of the media.

A-suppliers and customers with a high volume of documents are connected to the desired ERP system via EDI. Retarus Cloud EDI integration allows documents such as orders, order confirmations, delivery bills and invoices to be imported fully automatically into any ERP system. In addition, orders from the ERP system are transmitted directly to the A-suppliers in real time via the EDI interface.

Retarus also offers an efficient solution for suppliers who do not use EDI: with WebConnect for Suppliers, the ordering processes of B and C suppliers can be digitally integrated into any ERP system. WebConnect can automate purchase orders, order confirmations, shipping notifications and monitoring - all within just a few weeks. The supplier documents are automatically entered into the ERP system. There is no need for suppliers to set up a new system; communication takes place via interactive emails and a portal with automatic, token-based login.

Retarus offers a special solution for Intelligent Document Processing for customers or suppliers who wish to communicate by fax or email. This digitizes documents received by email or fax and transfers them to the ERP system as EDI data.

Uncomplicated integration

Retarus Procurement Solutions do not require any changes to the existing IT infrastructure and can be easily introduced during ongoing operations. No changes need to be made to the ERP system; the use of standard interfaces enables smooth integration. Only the outbound routing may need to be adapted and customized. The solution therefore supports internal IT in successfully implementing its cloud strategy and frees up capacity for IT staff to drive innovation.

Integrate partners, reduce costs and take advantage of growth opportunities.

Retarus' EDI specialists implement the solution at an above-average speed compared to the rest of the market. They connect all common ERP, SCM or backend systems, including the necessary mappings, and manage the entire technical coordination. Retarus Cloud EDI Integration supports all common systems, formats, frameworks, protocols and industries. Multilingual 24/7 support is available during operation.
