Frequently asked questions

All the answers to your questions

In which languages is the SPARETECH app available?

SPARETECH is available in a variety of languages such as English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Polish. This enables a smooth global roll-out and helps to overcome language barriers with plants from other countries.

How does the SPARETECH onboarding process work?

From kickoff to go-live, the SPARETECH Customer Success Team guides you through every step of your journey with proactive support and proven best practices. Your success starts long before you actually use the SPARETECH app.

Can I map the master data of several plants in the SPARETECH app?

Yes, this is explicitly recommended. Storing data for multiple plants in the SPARETECH app allows you to know exactly where a material is located. This enables you to determine if ordering is necessary or if it makes more sense to obtain the part from a neighboring plant.

Does SPARETECH replace my SAP/ERP system?

No, SPARETECH does not replace ERP systems and has no intention of doing so. Our solution works as a filter before the spare parts data enters your ERP system. The SPARETECH app ensures that only error-free information is imported into the ERP system. In addition, it cleans and enriches data that already present in the ERP system with original manufacturer information.

Do I need an ERP system to use it?

It is not mandatory to use an ERP system for master data management. You can use the SPARETECH app to manage your master data. However, please note that SPARETECH is not an ERP system and does not generate material numbers. It is recommended to use an ERP system for inventory and order management.

Does the SPARETECH app work with all ERP systems?

Yes, as long as your ERP system allows exporting master data records with all essential information, such as material number, item number, manufacturer designation, etc.

Is a direct connection to my ERP system possible?

Yes, if you use SAP as your ERP system, we can create a direct interface to automate data transfer.

How does the data exchange work?

The transfer of master data to the SPARETECH app can be done either through a data exchange format or a direct interface.
