Technical software background

All Smart Supply® modules are developed in MS SQL in an in-house developed web portal. That means you pay no user-based fees. For our current clients, we have created interface connections with SAP AFS, SAP RTL, POS DM and an AS/400 system.
The interface technologies used range from .csv flatfiles, to XML interfaces via SAP XI, SAP PI and Seeburger. For one of our clients, we even created a successful migration to TIBCO web services.
