Start of cooperation
The starting point for the partnership between EBZ and Simplifier was EBZ’s desire to increase the efficiency of application development in the SAP environment. The search for a suitable low-code platform led to a meeting of representatives from both companies at a CIO Day in Ulm. After a successful presentation and intensive exchange, it became clear that Simplifier was the ideal choice for EBZ.
“We were looking for a partner that not only offered the right technology, but was also able to work with us to develop solutions that meet our needs and actively engage in our processes.”
The decision to choose Simplifier as a partner was based on several important criteria. In addition to seamless integration with SAP, it was important for EBZ to find a partner who understands mid-sized companies and who focuses on flexibility and joint solution finding. EBZ didn’t just want technology, but a partnership at eye level.
“Working with Simplifier has exceeded our expectations. Not only have we optimized our work processes, but we’ve also created customized solutions that fit our needs perfectly.”
“The collaboration with EBZ is of great importance to us. We see SMEs as an important driver of innovation and are proud to support EBZ in increasing the efficiency and agility of their processes.”
Mutual successes and prospects for the future
Just a few months into the collaboration between EBZ and Simplifier, the results are already impressive. For example, a modular supplier portal has been set up in which the production status of special productions is recorded by the supplier via app and automatically written to SAP. This has simplified collaboration with suppliers and made it more efficient. In addition, the SAP team at EBZ is working on other applications. These include an application that facilitates document exchange with suppliers and replaces a legacy solution.
