External Interfaces


What is the External Interfaces module?

We have designed this module to help you to utilise all of your company's assets to maximum effect. From the manufacturing plant to supply chain visibility, this module can make the most of what you have. The External Interfaces module enables you to easily export and import files from your Manufacturing applications, from your customers, your suppliers, your external service agents and more.

A considerable amount of cost can be lost on the manufacturing plant/shop floor (MPSF). Better integration of these resources into the main Answer supply chain can improve asset utilisation, achieve cost savings, provide better decision support information and make improvements in accuracy and speed of information.

Having ready access to information, as well as being able to monitor the equipment performance automatically will free up valuable resources to focus on value added activities rather than data entry and paper shuffling.
