B-COMM ERP PDC

This communication software is

designed for SAP end users who want

to collect job data. B-COMM ERP PDC

maintains communication with the data

capture terminals, checks incoming data

against SAP standards, and then passes

this data via the certified interfaces to

SAP.

After booking the already reported

data, the processes are updated and

alignment with B-COMM ERP PDC takes

place. This synchronization guarantees

high data security.

Maintenance of transaction data is done

in the SAP system only.

For job data collection, intelligent termi-

nals of the B-Net series are preferred.

Using a dialog editor, you can generate

your own specific collection processes

according to your needs.

“If a customer looks only at the price

tag as an individual parameter, when

purchasing a data collection system,

Kaba is not in the lead position.

But if you consider the efficiency,

quality, performance and the techno-

logical standard of the solution, Kaba

has the best system you can choose."

Paolo Parlagreco

Head of EDP of Unilever Italy

From the first contact to consulting and planning

and on-schedule implementation of your project.
