Background
DWS provides a wide range of services, aiming to advise its sister companies on suitable material preparation for construction sites and selecting appropriate vendors based on their price quotations.
Previously, DWS employees had to deal with a significant amount of daily paperwork. Manual pricing and invoice comparisons often resulted in calculation errors. As a result, DWS internal experts were looking for a smart, innovative, and practical internal tool with the following capabilities:
Evaluating thousands of different pricing options
Comparing invoices from multiple vendors
Managing a large volume of invoices
Sunbytes solution
A dedicated team of 4 worked with DWS’s internal digital transformation experts to design, build, and deploy digital solutions that replaced paper-based tasks. The new tools were seamlessly integrated into DWS’s existing systems, and our dedicated programmers continuously developed enhanced administrative and organizational functions.
Some of the key solutions include:
Dashboard
A customized dashboard designed to simplify the discovery of necessary applications for employees.
Speedies
An internal knowledge base of products, product descriptions, and attachments, complete with a search engine tool.
Price comparison & price comparison tool
This tool allows vendors and suppliers to upload pricing lists in various Excel formats. The information is automatically classified or assigned suggested identifiers. The tool can return search results from nearly 50 price listings encompassing almost 800,000 products daily. The Price Comparison API facilitates the connection between the system and a price comparison platform.
Invoice comparison
An application that loads invoices from a remote SFTP server, reads invoices in EDIFACT or IDOC format and extracts data for various comparisons. This platform has been handling an increasing volume of invoices from more than 10 suppliers, totalling approximately 150,000 invoices.
After 3 years of the partnership, the great work of Sunbytes dedicated team received many compliments from the client thanks to the most state-of-the-art solutions we brought to the table:
Search algorithm by Elastic Search to detect keywords
Each procedure in Speedies needs a different set of adjustments and materials. When a user puts a term into the search field, the system will automatically recognize and show the keywords it has stored from past searches or searches that users have entered into the system.
Connection with Minio and Directus
Every day, these apps receive a massive amount of data; as a result, we use sophisticated digital asset management systems like Minio and Directus to provide safe data storage as well as quick and flexible data specification and utilization in the system’s back end.
