What you get back

You receive the active catalogue and its version so every connected system works with the same structure.

A typical day-to-day use case

During the nightly master-data run, the ERP loads the active VDI catalogue and version. It starts a controlled class update only when a new revision exists.

The tangible business value

Information that would otherwise need to be searched, transferred and checked repeatedly is available consistently. This shortens processing time and reduces the risk of poor decisions.

  • Saves search, capture or waiting time because the task starts and finishes inside the familiar system.
  • Reduces transfer and matching errors because information is not retyped or reconciled across separate lists.
