Automated export of spare parts lists

Sales and documentation data at the push of a button – always accurate and up-to-date

Zeppelin Systems GmbH represents the plant engineering business unit of the Zeppelin Group with branches and production facilities all over the world. The company has 1300 employees and maintains the world’s largest technical centre network for bulk materials. Zeppelin Systems is constantly working on innovative processes and new technologies in the field of plant engineering.

Depending on their size and design, Zeppelin Systems plants can consist of up to several thousand parts. In the past, lists and quotations for spare and wear parts were created manually by the sales team in a special template. The relevant data was exported from SAP and transferred manually into complex Excel files. Preparation of the data took several days for each customer.

To automate the process, doubleSlash developed a tool which transfers the exported SAP data to the templates automatically and creates customer-specific formats. This saves both time and money.

“As a plant engineering business, we process complex customer orders which sometimes contain extremely detailed documentation of parts. doubleSlash developed an automated solution for Zeppelin Systems GmbH that combines data from various sources into complex, customer-specific structures leading to a significant increase in efficiency. Working in weekly sprints, where goals were set and completed within a short time, gave us the flexibility we needed to reach our objectives quickly.”
