PLGGR / Together with Solvaters

AFAS as the foundation.
The PLGGR platform on top.

A well built AFAS landscape is a strong foundation. The moment you sell through several channels and have more product information to manage, the need runs past your ERP. That is where Solvaters and PLGGR meet.

Two specialisms, one intake. We look at your situation together.

The question

How do you connect your processes, your product data and your channels?

Item data, prices, stock and status have to be right in your ERP. At the same time commercial product information asks for depth: descriptions, specifications, images, translations and the right shape per sales channel.

Those two worlds touch constantly, and that seam is exactly where the double work appears. Our principle: a Single Source of Truth.

Who does what

Two specialisms, one chain

An ERP and product data are inseparable. Solvaters looks at AFAS and the processes behind it, PLGGR at product data, enrichment and your sales channels. Together at the whole picture.

Solvaters

AFAS as the foundation of your operation

Solvaters helps organisations in trade, production and manufacturing set up AFAS, get the most from it and keep improving it.

From implementation and optimisation to project guidance and management, so AFAS fits the way your organisation works.

  • Implementation and optimisation of AFAS Profit
  • Setting up financial, order and HR processes
  • Process optimisation and digitalisation
  • Project guidance, management and further development
  • Integrations with the rest of your application landscape
  • A fixed team that knows your organisation and your AFAS environment
PLGGR

The PLGGR platform that drives your sales

One platform for product information, order entry and integrations, built for wholesalers and manufacturers that sell through several channels.

Managing, enriching and publishing happen in that same environment, which connects to AFAS, so every channel and every customer gets the same current information.

  • Manage product information centrally
  • Enrich with descriptions, specifications and media
  • Translations, variants and relations
  • Publishing to webshops, marketplaces and customer portals
  • Order entry from the same source
  • One platform, three products: PLGGR | PIM, PLGGR | HUB and PLGGR | Order Entry
How it works

AFAS stays the source

If item codes, prices and stock are wrong at the source, there is little left to enrich or publish further down. That is why Solvaters keeps the foundation in order and PLGGR builds on top of it.

  1. AFAS stays in charge

    Item codes, EANs, prices, stock and status stay where they belong, in a setup Solvaters keeps in order. PLGGR reads along, it does not overwrite.

  2. PLGGR enriches

    AI reads supplier documents, proposes attributes, drafts a first description, translates and categorises down to GS1 level. You decide what goes out.

  3. Every channel gets its shape

    Webshops, marketplaces, customer portals and data sheets, all from the same source and in the format each channel asks for.

When this applies

Do you recognise one of these six?

These are the signals where this partnership makes the difference. If none of them sound familiar, this is probably not the moment yet.

Your item file in AFAS is administratively complete, but lacks descriptions, images and specifications.

Product information lives in Excel, in the webshop itself, or in a colleague's head.

You sell through more than one channel and maintain the same data several times over.

You want to move to a marketplace or across the border, and get stuck on translations and content quality.

You want to add a new sales channel and wonder what that does to your data.

You want AFAS to connect better to the rest of your application landscape.

Sound familiar? The next step is a small one.

Tell us how many articles and sales channels you have. Then Solvaters and PLGGR tell you together what is needed, in what order and what it costs.

Why this partnership

A good software landscape is not a set of separate systems

Solvaters is the AFAS and ERP specialist for trade, production and manufacturing, and helps organisations get the most out of AFAS. Not only during the implementation, but afterwards as well.

Where a business process runs beyond AFAS alone, they work with specialised product partners. What matters is not what each system can do on its own, but whether everything works together.

Standards

The language the chain speaks

Exchanging product data and placing orders only works when both sides follow the same agreements. PLGGR supports GS1 and OCI among others, the two that purchasing organisations in trade, healthcare and government ask for most. Without them your range does not reach those buyers.

GS1
GS1 PIM partner

Product data to the GS1 standard

PLGGR is a GS1 PIM partner. Item data, GTINs and product attributes follow the agreements your buyers work to, so your data arrives the way it should.

  • GTINs, attributes and media from one source
  • Matched to what buyers expect under the standard
  • Fewer corrections after the fact at purchasing organisations
OCI punchout

Ordering from inside your customer's system

Purchasing organisations, hospitals and government bodies order from their own procurement system and expect OCI. The plugin on PLGGR | Order Entry makes your catalogue punchout ready.

  • The buyer shops your assortment and returns with a filled basket
  • Customer specific prices and assortments still apply
  • Software as a service, not a bespoke project
