Case Study: Syntegon Technology achieves global purchasing automation with Netfira

How the Netfira Platform is used for all existing ERP systems

Syntegon Technology, a global supplier of packaging and process technology, faced the challenge of automating its global operational purchasing within a complex multi-ERP environment that included both SAP and non-SAP systems. The company needed a single software solution to harmonize and streamline these processes across all its international locations. To meet this need, Syntegon chose to implement the Netfira Platform.

The Netfira Platform automated the bidirectional exchange of purchase orders and order confirmations, integrating seamlessly with Syntegon's diverse ERP landscape. The solution processed over 117,000 order items annually from hundreds of connected suppliers, achieving nearly 100% automatic processing for confirmations without discrepancies. This implementation significantly reduced manual, error-prone work. Netfira provided a flexible and cost-effective alternative to EDI, especially for non-SAP environments and suppliers without their own ERP systems, leading to greater efficiency and standardization for Syntegon's global purchasing operations.
