The supplier experience

Everything a supplier needs. One workspace.

Suppliers sign in to one workspace that follows the order of work: demands, shipments, packaging, documents, quality and invoicing. Every entry is the same process the enterprise runs in its ERP.

ESS Hub is an enterprise supplier collaboration and WebEDI platform developed by EDI & SAP Solutions SRL. Suppliers connect through the web portal, EDI, API or file-based integration; the enterprise works with one supplier process across procurement, logistics, quality and finance.

Four business domains

Four domains. One platform.

Procurement, logistics, quality and finance are areas of the same supplier process, not separate products. Suppliers see them in one workspace; the enterprise runs them against one ERP.

WebEDI

WebEDI without creating a second process.

Traditional supplier portals create a separate, manual world next to EDI. In ESS Hub, portal suppliers and EDI suppliers participate in the same business process: the same documents, the same validations, the same ERP.

The enterprise side

One supplier view for the enterprise.

Internal users work with supplier processes through the same platform, while ESS Hub exchanges the underlying documents with ERP and integration systems.

  • Process visibility

    Inbound shipments, unconfirmed call-offs and open items per supplier in one view.

  • Supplier status

    Who has confirmed, who has read, who has not responded.

  • Document status

    Each ASN, confirmation and invoice with its current state.

  • Exceptions

    Overdue and unconfirmed items surfaced instead of buried in mailboxes.

  • Communication

    Supplier letters and announcements with read-and-confirm tracking.

  • History and traceability

    Audit trail of who did what, when, on which document.

ERP connection

Connected to the systems behind the process.

Every supplier interaction in ESS Hub corresponds to a document or status in your ERP. The hub validates and structures it, then exchanges it through the channel your landscape already uses.

Deep SAP expertise. Open ERP architecture.

ESS Hub is developed by EDI & SAP Solutions SRL, an enterprise integration company working with SAP and EDI landscapes since 2013. The platform is built for SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA and connects to other ERP systems through the same integration layer.
