| The revenues of European automotive component suppliers are shrinking.
High debts and limited equity ratios even aggravate the situation. With
increasing competition and intense cost pressure it is the co-operation
of those concerned along the value-added chain that decides about
business success. How to fight keen competition successfully using
state-of-the art business IT, can be seen by the example of Plastocell,
a medium-sized automotive components supplier. With abas Business
Software, a flexible, future-proof ERP software is in use that is
capable of adapting to the changing requirements of Plastocell. The
abas Business Software contains an integrated EDI (Electronic Data
Interchange) function which is an important criterion when choosing a
business software for automotive component suppliers. Now EDI has
become a part of the ERP complete business solution. For the first time
Plastocell is actually profiting from the possibilities EDI has been
providing for a long time. Stefan Kropp, authorized representative and Head of Quality Management at Plastocell, is optimistic about the future: “The abas Business Software supports continuous improvement efforts in our company. We are able to open up markets for our new products, for instance rail vehicles, without requiring any additional staff.” And smiling he adds: “We are well equipped for the challenges of the future”.

There are also innovations in warehouse management: new information systems enable detailed stock level information and the shortening of the scheduling run. Group accounting and consolidation The functions group accounting and consolidation are the basis for the creation of the group reporting. In version 2004 the advance VAT return can now also be consolidated for multiple individual clients.
