Anders developed a B2B service portal that includes both contract handling tool and order system. The order system, e-commerce, is for hardware procurement. The expert services and license sales, are both for internal and external users. Contract handling tool provides quicker and better service and automates procurement processes for Cygate customers. In 2017, Anders integrated a project handling system, Jira, to the portal which automates invoicing. The system also improves the transparency of the delivery process, along with standardizing it further. Cygate’s customers are now able to manage their contracts, get faster and more precise support services and project management, and even automate their purchasing processes.

The procurement system is built on Shoop e-commerce system and the contract management tool is built from scratch tailor-made using Python and the Django framework. The portal is seamlessly integrated into Cygate’s pre-existing ERP and PIM systems. Integrations to invoicing, procurement and contracts go through Cygate’s own interface.

Many years of cooperation has closen us and made our development work very seamless, it feels like working with colleagues. Anders Innovations has proven to be extremely efficient and trustworthy partner, that continuous new versions also indicates. Release speed has enabled an agile development in our own business tools as well.
