From fragmentation to one process

Supplier collaboration is fragmented. The enterprise process should not be.

Different supplier channels should not create different enterprise processes. ESS Hub puts one collaboration layer between suppliers and the enterprise landscape.

Platform

One platform for every supplier process.

ESS Hub covers the document flows between an enterprise and its suppliers, from demand to invoice, in one consistent workspace for procurement, logistics and finance.

Purchase Orders

Publish orders to suppliers, track confirmations and changes, and keep every version in one place, for the buyer and the supplier.

Order · confirmation · change history

Forecasts

Share demand forecasts so suppliers can plan capacity and material against your actual requirements, not against assumptions.

Demand visibility for suppliers

Scheduling Agreements

Communicate delivery schedules and call-offs against long-term agreements, with quantities and dates suppliers can act on.

Schedules · call-offs · releases

ASN / DESADV

Suppliers announce shipments before goods arrive: advance shipping notices with packaging data and labels, prepared in a guided flow.

Advance shipping notice · packaging · labels

Invoices

Suppliers submit invoices against orders and deliveries. Finance receives structured invoice data that can flow into ERP and AP processes.

Structured invoice data · ERP-ready

RFQ / Quotations

Run requests for quotation and collect supplier quotes in one place, with a clear record of who was invited and what was offered.

Sourcing events · quotations

Supplier Onboarding

Bring new suppliers on board with the right roles and permissions, and the connection method that fits their capabilities.

Roles · permissions · connection setup

Supplier Communication

Notices and messages tied to the process they belong to, with read receipts, instead of untracked e-mail threads.

Documents

Share and track business documents with suppliers in the context of the order, shipment or agreement they belong to.

Supplier connectivity

Different supplier maturity. One enterprise process.

Not every supplier connects the same way. ESS Hub lets each supplier work through the channel that fits its capabilities, while the enterprise receives one consistent process.

Web Portal

For suppliers without EDI

Orders, schedules, ASN and invoices handled in the browser, in the supplier's language, with no integration project on their side.

Smaller and occasional suppliers
EDI

For mature EDI operations

Suppliers with established EDI exchange standard messages directly, such as EDIFACT, VDA or ANSI X12 formats, through the ESS Hub integration layer.

Tier-1 and high-volume suppliers
API

For system-to-system integration

Suppliers and partner systems that integrate programmatically exchange the same business documents through APIs.

Digitally mature suppliers and platforms
SFTP / Files

For scheduled file exchange

Structured files exchanged on a schedule over SFTP, for suppliers whose systems export and import files rather than messages.

Suppliers with file-based ERP exports

The enterprise side does not change. The same purchase order, the same ASN, the same invoice arrive in the same process and the same ERP interface, regardless of how the supplier connected.

Architecture

The collaboration and integration layer between suppliers and your enterprise systems.

The portal is one interaction layer. The product is the layer underneath: business document workflows connected to your ERP through standard enterprise interfaces.

ESS Hub connects through standard enterprise interfaces. No ERP-specific lock-in in the architecture.Deep SAP expertise · ERP-agnostic architecture

ERP integration

Deep SAP expertise. Open ERP architecture.

Built for complex SAP environments. Ready for any ERP that speaks standard enterprise interfaces.

SAP heritage

Built by people who have worked inside SAP landscapes since 2013.

EDI & SAP Solutions has designed and operated SAP integrations for more than a decade: IDoc interfaces, EDI subsystems and middleware such as Seeburger BIS, in ECC and S/4HANA environments. ESS Hub is built with that experience, so purchase orders, schedules, ASNs and invoices arrive in the structures your SAP processes already expect.

Open architecture

ERP-agnostic by design.

ESS Hub does not depend on a specific ERP. It can integrate with other ERP and enterprise backends through the same integration layer, using standard interfaces rather than proprietary connectors.

Why ESS

We didn't start with a portal. We started with enterprise integration.

EDI & SAP Solutions SRL was founded in 2013 in Brașov, Romania. For more than a decade the company has designed, built and supported integration landscapes for manufacturing and automotive companies: SAP, EDI and B2B integration, Seeburger BIS, EDIFACT, VDA and ANSI X12 messaging, IDoc interfaces, API integration and SFTP/MFT file exchange, together with enterprise support and development.

ESS Hub is the productization of that work. It is the supplier-facing layer designed for the integration landscapes ESS has been connecting for years, built by the same team that runs the EDI and SAP interfaces behind them.

Security & architecture

Built for enterprise requirements.

Supplier collaboration touches orders, prices and invoices. ESS Hub is designed around the controls that enterprise IT and procurement expect from a platform that sits between suppliers and the ERP.

Role-based access control

Business roles for supplier and enterprise users; a data-driven permission matrix defines what each role can see and do.

In the platform

Supplier-level separation

Each supplier works in its own workspace and sees only its own documents. The enterprise workspace sees all suppliers.

In the platform

Audit trail

An audit trail module for enterprise administrators, plus read-and-confirm receipts and approvals inside the business process.

In the platform

Encrypted in transit

The application is served over HTTPS; supplier and enterprise sessions are encrypted in transit.

In the platform

Approval-controlled changes

Supplier bank details are masked in the interface; changes are requested by the supplier and approved on the enterprise side.

In the platform

Multilingual supplier access

Suppliers work in their own language in the web portal.
