Digital container tracking<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

Schnellecke Logistics implements real-time tracking using smart containers and the cloud. With this IoT pilot, Schnellecke optimizes transparency about container locations and parts transport. The JIS containers equipped with a smart transmitter transmit their location at short intervals. This information is received by so-called gateways, which are installed both at Schnellecke and at the customer's site. All they need is power and Internet access, either via the local network or via a mobile phone connection. The containers are thus tracked continuously and in real time from picking to assembly at the car manufacturer.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

SAP Ariba procurement solutions were previously only affordable for large companies and corporations. As part of a midmarket initiative, SAP and the consulting firm Apsolut, which specializes in procurement processes, are launching a specially adapted and packaged SAP Ariba solution for the upper midmarket.

This means that best practice workflows, functions and form templates are available to handle procure-to-pay processes efficiently and quickly with suppliers. This speeds up procurement processes and reduces the costs associated with paper-based invoices, among other things. The target group is companies with a purchasing volume of around 50 million euros or more per year. The advantage of the solution is the short implementation time of just a few weeks and manageable project costs.<\/p>\n

HR cloud platform<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

Innovative HR solutions are increasingly shifting traditional HR tasks such as certificate creation to the area of management and employees - the HR department is becoming the process designer and strategic partner of management. However, this also means that the newly developed processes must function smoothly in future without administration by HR staff. Aconso is responding to this development with a new generation of HR services. With the HR cloud platform Nubea, the HR software provider combines all solutions centrally under an intuitive and target group-oriented user interface - independent of operating system and end device. All user groups - HR department, management and employees - have central and mobile access to data, documents, processes and services, depending on their authorization. User-specific encryption guarantees data security in accordance with the latest standards. Overall, this makes HR processes more transparent and greatly accelerates them.<\/p>\n

More and more buyers and suppliers from all over the world are relying on SAP Ariba to digitize their purchasing processes. During the second quarter ending June 30, SAP recorded a 33 percent increase in new cloud bookings - a result that can be attributed in particular to the sharp rise in cloud bookings with SAP Ariba. \"The role of procurement today is to help the business become more agile, simplify the buying experience and automate business-to-business commerce as much as possible,\" explains Alex Atzberger, President of SAP Ariba. \"This is not possible with a patchwork of individual solutions that were only designed as cost-cutting measures. Companies need an integrated end-to-end offering that combines the convenience and agility of cloud applications with the power of enterprise applications and the connectivity, intelligence and global reach of open business networks.\"<\/p>\n

Detect billing errors at the touch of a button<\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

At the DSAG Annual Congress 2017 in Bremen (Hall 5, Stand G2), automation specialist Empirius will be presenting a new add-on solution called Actalyzer for the widely used standard software for clinics and hospitals SAP IS\/H. This allows errors or discrepancies in patient invoices to be detected and quickly clarified. The fact that, for example, a health insurance company refuses payment from a hospital or clinic because there are errors or discrepancies in a patient invoice is a regular occurrence. In such cases, it is necessary to check and analyze all patient data ad hoc and as required. This includes patient master data, case data, movement data and data on all services provided. With Actalyzer as an SAP-IS\/H (Industry Solution Hospital) add-on solution, all patient data can be separated and automatically transferred from the productive system to a QA or sandbox system in a time-saving manner in order to investigate the error or a reported discrepancy. Such incidents\/checks cannot be carried out in a production system, as the data there is constantly changing.<\/p>\n
