abat Logistics Applications

abat Logistics Applications (aLA) is a self-developed portal solution consisting of a variety of apps that simplify communication between business partners in the supply chain.

aLA offers apps for all supply chain stakeholders, e.g. suppliers, customers, plant and carriers.

Overview of the self-developed portal solution abat Logistics Applications (aLA).

Basada en SAPUI5, la integración de la solución de portal es posible tanto a través de un sistema SAP TM local, como a través de la variante SAP Business Technology Platform recomendada por nosotros. Tiene la ventaja de que todas las aplicaciones se ejecutan de forma móvil, segura, accesible y escalable.

La propia solución del portal le ayuda a implicar a los socios de su cadena de suministro de forma fácil e intuitiva en todo el proceso.

Por ejemplo, un proveedor puede crear de forma independiente sus necesidades de transporte, ajustar manualmente las solicitudes de entrega relacionadas con los pedidos procedentes del sistema ERP y actualizar las cantidades, los plazos de entrega y la información adicional.

Otra gran ventaja de aLA es que todas las aplicaciones pueden ampliarse fácilmente para adaptarse al proceso exacto del cliente.

I like working at abat because there is a very pleasant, appreciative working atmosphere here with a lot of freedom. There is a lot of trust, so you also have the freedom to try out something new - but if it doesn't work out, there is also the necessary support. That's how I've learned so much! In addition, if you have problems while working in the home office, you can often quickly find colleagues who are happy to help you out via teams.
