Increasing division of labour and the necessary specialisation for customer requirements demands flexible and innovative systems solutions. Because we know the requirements of the industry, the ELVISpro inventory management system was developed in close cooperation with our member companies. The objective: an industry solution for all. This is possible with ELVISpro based on Microsoft Navision Business Solution (NAV). Our principle here is “rent instead of buy”.

Due to the countless orientations and core competencies of our member companies, we have developed an industry solution over the past few years that can be used on a rental basis. Through this concept, all members can rely on a standard system and remain in a position to update their systems. Due to the monthly rental charges, the costs stay calculable. Maintenance costs and customer service are also included, as is constant further development, all of which are guaranteed through the ELVISpro team. Despite this standard system, the individual corporate processes can be depicted using parameter management controls. All E/D/E interfaces are already included.

Intelligent systems and solutions ensure that orders, order confirmations, dispatch notifications, invoices as well as payment notifications can be exchanged electronically with partners. The advantages are clear: business information is exchanged quickly, securely and cost-effectively - and all this in a standardised way. As a result, exchanging business documentation via paper is a thing of the past at the E/D/E.

Would it not be great for a supplier (invoicing party) if he could send all invoices without slips to members (invoice recipient)? As a result, printing costs, postage and processing could all be immediately and noticeably reduced. Would it not be advantageous for an invoice recipient if all incoming invoices from suppliers (invoicing party) were available without slips, which could simplify manual checking of invoices as well as optimising archives for the tax office?

This leads to a long-term elimination of manual filing systems, scanning procedures, invoice checks and invoice releases. The pre-tax allowance is, of course, still taken into account. We offer our partners a service which is a real step towards “the paperless office”.

Master data and marketing data are an indispensable service of the E/D/E eBusiness. Master data and marketing data are managed centrally in a content management system. As part of the catalogue production, this information is regularly updated and prepared by editors. Using the E/D/E extranet, the up-to-date master data is then offered for download on a monthly basis. The marketing data can be downloaded in various formats (BMEcat / HTML / Excel / JPG).

In order to give you the opportunity to create your own advertising material, such as brochures, print catalogues online cop walks, we offer the Reda-Tool as a support tool. You obtain access to the product and master data from catalogues used by you, and you can use this information as a basis for your own catalogue database, to supplement your own products, for example. With the familiar export tools, your own print brochures, BMEcat information for online shop systems or entire catalogues can then be produced.
