ALD Vacuum Technologies

Innovative ordering system for the future of mechanical engineering

_Customer needs & 426 Services

In 2015, ALD Vacuum Technologies approached us to develop a customized ordering system for spare parts and consumables for their custom ALD vacuum furnaces. The main goal was to seamlessly integrate sales-relevant processes through the development of a B2B portal. With our comprehensive service offering, covering project management, conceptualization, development, and support, we were ready to effectively meet ALD's requirements.

The Project

Our focus was on digitizing ALD's spare parts distribution and optimizing the sale of spare parts, as well as significantly reducing lead times for quotes and orders. A key aspect was the development of a SAP-integrated B2B eCommerce solution, enabling ALD to offer and sell their custom products directly through the system. This innovative platform not only revolutionized the trading process but also facilitated efficient customer interaction and retention. Additionally, a notable feature of the project was the implementation of categories with live bill of materials resolution directly from the SAP system. This integration allowed for seamless order processing and optimized resource utilization for ALD.
