Hanover – With the introduction of GESAconnect, Gestellpool Europe, leading service provider for the management of reusable transport racks in the glass and window industry, is setting another milestone in digitalisation. The company is offering an open application programming interface (API). The interface significantly simplifies and optimises the integration between ERP systems, machine control systems and Gestellpool.
„With GESAconnect, we’ve created a fully digitalised rack cycle for our members, their suppliers and customers for the first time –from their own ERP system and without media disruptions“, explains Felix Spangenberg, Managing Director of Gestellpool Europe GmbH & Co. KG.
Why GESAconnect is of crucial importance for the industry
- Increased efficiency through automation: Rack movements can be booked automatically – time-consuming coordination, phone calls, Excel lists and paper receipts become a thing of the past.
- Real-time transparency: Companies receive a clear overview of the location of their racks and the status of ongoing orders at all times.
- Cost and resource savings: Reduced administrative costs and fewer empty runs protect both budgets and the environment.
- Quick and easy integration: Standardised interfaces significantly shorten IT projects. Software partners who successfully implement GESAconnect receive the GESTELLPOOLready seal of approval.
- Security and future viability: The latest web technology (REST) ensures encrypted data transmission and flexible access rights.
A joint industry initiative for standardisation
Gestellpool Europe is inviting providers of ERP, PPS and machine control software to integrate GESAconnect and jointly establish a uniform standard interface for the glass and windows industry. The goal is to provide users with a ready-to-use, out-of-the-box integration.
The partners who join the initiative will be awarded with the GESTELLPOOLready label upon successful implementation and get a shoutout in the marketing and sales materials.
Access and technical documentation
Members and their customers register in the usual way via GESAweb, where they receive all the technical documentation and their personal API access data. External software partners can request free Sandbox access, including interactive documentation.
