SupplyOn Portal Agents automate access to information from company portals
SupplyOn AG, a leading provider of Internet services for the automotive and production industry, presents a solution allowing supplier companies to automate access to information from their customers’ Internet portals. SupplyOn Portal Agents search portals for new and modified data and e-mail users to report any changes. This makes customer communication considerably more efficient since users no longer have to perform the time-consuming task of manually accessing the data. It is also more reliable as important information can no longer lie unnoticed in the portals monitored. The system allows companies to improve networking with their customers, optimise external business processes and enhance their competitiveness. The solution is based on the iPoint Automotive Agent from iPoint-systems gmbh, the market leader in Internet agent technology.
SupplyOn Portal Agents regularly log into company portals and check whether any new information has been added or data has changed. Such data is automatically extracted. The portal agents are controlled by so-called missions which describe where and how particular pieces of information can be accessed and how these should be conveyed to defined users. SupplyOn currently offers around 300 missions to support all important portals of automotive manufacturers and major system suppliers.
This new product makes SupplyOn the first supplier to market portal agent technology to small and medium-sized supplier companies. The SupplyOn solution is available online, easy to use and offers outstanding value for money.
