Banner THE POWER COMPANY

FIRST FITTING DATA EXCHANGE

The COVID-19 crisis has again demonstrated the importance of optimum, internal and external information flows.

 

Such flows facilitated a precise response to the production shutdowns and full capacity restarts amongst our OEM ustomers. Following a brief standstill phase, which was bridged with home office and short-time working, from June onwards virtually all of our first fitting clients again required top quality Banner products. These events underlined the value of local sourcing involving teamwork with reliable partners offering the shortest possible delivery chains and negligible risks. Moreover, apart from these factors, Banner also scores with ideal data exchange processes.

DATA EXCHANGE AT Banner:

1. The invitations to tender from the automotive manufacturers, customer requirements and sub-supplier offers are all configured via the various B2B portals.

 

2. Following order allocation, via the portals Banner receives delivery contracts and blanket orders, which establish the framework conditions and prices, and provide information regarding logistics, quality requirements and capacity, etc.

 

3. The delivery call-offs from the individual customer production plants enter our ERP system (Oxalon) directly via an EDI link and contain both the quantity to be delivered for up to a year in advance, as well as the detailed daily call-offs. This results in the planning of production from plate manufacture to battery assembly and container formation (CF).

4. Every single battery is allotted a 2D code, the content of which is determined by the customer. The code allocates to the battery to a certain vehicle and is also used at the customer location.

 

5. An advance shipping notice (ASN) is communicated per EDI or special applications in the B2B portals for the control of the receipt of delivery process at the customer’s premises. The ASN contains all the delivery information and upon receipt of the goods, the customer logs the 2D battery code for optimum tracing.

 

 

6. Finally, via the portal, the customer provides the self-billing invoices, notices of payments, claim notifications and test reports.

DIGITAL DATA MANAGEMENT ON A PRODUCT LEVEL!

Data represent the foundation stone of successful marketing.

 

Having a presence on the Internet and supplying digital data no longer represents a matter of customer prestige, but a marketing strategy necessity. This is because one does not chase quality customers; one approaches them! Therefore, current and potential clients are increasingly informed about products online and employ product comparisons.

 

EVERYTHING FOR SUCCESSFUL BATTERY BUSINESS
Banner’s DVSE data contains everything that you and your employees must know for successful battery business. It is
precisely for this reason that via DVSE Topmotive (Europa’s market leader with regard to catalogue, information, goods and dealer management systems for the independent automotive aftermarket), Banner constantly provides current automotive data from the battery world. Apart from simple article searches, DVSE offers the very latest part categorisations, comparisons, inspection details and much more besides. In addition, along with direct article searches, we offer our sales partners a supplementary service. This platform, the possibility for online data enquiries and general process optimisation are ready and waiting for you! Operation and user guidance is designed to be logical and intuitive and has a clear, well-organised structure.

 

A CONGENIAL PAIRING IS IN PREPARATION
At present, we are working intensively on a further upgrade, as within the next three to five years the DVSE  Topmotive TecCat part catalogue with Banner data and guidance functions is to be linked to an intelligent B2B e-commerce solution. At present, the Banner web shop is also undergoing a test run in Austria and with the findings thus obtained will be turned into an improved iterative process. Moreover, a rollout plan for Europe is in preparation. The “Buffalo Post” customer magazine will continue to provide you with information regarding current developments.
