Seamlessly integrate your DocuWare workflows into your ERP, manufacturing and quality-related business processes within abas ERP. Our DocuWare Integration with abas, based on gid Microservices – awarded the ‘Software Made in Germany’ seal of quality – combines audit-proof document management with modern ERP and production processes, whilst enabling users to continue working in their familiar abas environment.

It combines structured documents and metadata from DocuWare with the production planning, materials management, quality management and production control functions in abas ERP. As a result, production documents, test reports, work instructions, supplier documentation, technical drawings and QM-related documents remain consistently available and directly accessible at all times – without having to switch systems and with end-to-end transparency across all relevant information.

At the same time, the integration enables bidirectional processing between DocuWare and abas ERP. Documents, metadata and process-relevant information are automatically synchronised and are available in both systems in a context-sensitive manner.

For example, abas ERP allows direct access to archived test reports, ISO-compliant quality documentation, safety certificates or production approvals from DocuWare, whilst documents generated in parallel from manufacturing, procurement or service processes are automatically transferred to DocuWare and archived in an audit-proof manner.

This significantly simplifies the administration of manufacturing and quality processes, saves time on documentation and reduces licensing and system costs through consolidated data management. At the same time, compliance, QM and safety requirements are better supported, as all relevant documents and information are centrally available and can be integrated into automated workflows.

This creates a seamless link between operational ERP and manufacturing processes and audit-proof document management – for more efficient production workflows, clearly structured quality and compliance processes, and sustainably optimised use of information across the entire organisation.

SINGLE SOURCE

All teams work with a uniform and consistent database comprising production documents, test reports, supplier documentation, technical drawings and metadata.

The integration of DocuWare and abas ERP provides complete transparency over production, quality and approval processes. Changes to QM documentation, work instructions or production-related documents remain traceable at all times.

This creates a reliable ‘single source of truth’ for manufacturing, quality management, procurement and organisational decision-making. Above all, however, it puts an end to endless searching, as documents can be accessed from anywhere. Naturally, role- and rights-based concepts also apply via the interface, even across multiple clients.

LESS FRICTION

Documents, metadata and process-related information are available directly in abas ERP and DocuWare and can be processed automatically between the two systems.

Teams gain quick access to inspection reports, production documents, safety documentation or supplier documents, avoiding manual filing or duplicate tasks.

Even different versions of documents are no longer a headache for anyone, as version control is naturally handled by the DocuWare interface.

This reduces administrative burdens, speeds up processes and organises manufacturing and quality processes more efficiently – from production planning right through to audit-proof archiving of relevant documents.

AUDITFEST

All document-related processes are archived in DocuWare in an audit-proof manner, whilst remaining directly linked to and accessible from the ERP and manufacturing processes in abas ERP.

Access rights, document versions and changes to quality- or safety-related documents are fully traceable and transparently documented.

This creates a secure combination of digitally controlled ERP processes and auditable document management that meets compliance, ISO and governance requirements, whilst supporting structured, traceable workflows in manufacturing and quality management.

Despite access being provided directly from within abas, all the benefits of DocuWare remain intact, and you even save costs thanks to the different licensing model.

DocuWare Interface for abas ERP – General
The DocuWare–abas ERP integration enhances your existing ERP and manufacturing environment, bringing noticeably greater ease, structure and security to your day-to-day work.

Instead of having to navigate through scattered files, email attachments or different systems, staff can access all relevant documents, inspection records, drawings and supporting evidence in DocuWare directly from within abas ERP. This creates a much calmer, clearer working environment – because information is available exactly where it is needed.

Documents and ERP processes are intelligently linked and supplemented with context-related information such as order status, production progress, quality characteristics or approval statuses. This not only creates greater transparency but also enables smoother day-to-day operations.

Conversely, archived documents are available directly within abas ERP. This significantly reduces manual tasks and ensures that staff can focus more on their core duties rather than on searching for documents or maintaining data.

The combination of structured document management and the process logic of abas ERP creates a working environment that is not only more efficient but also feels significantly more relaxed. Sources of error caused by media breaks are reduced, workflows become more traceable, and day-to-day work feels more organised and reliable overall – a noticeable difference, particularly in complex manufacturing and quality processes.

The DocuWare–abas ERP integration can be flexibly deployed for companies of different sizes and manufacturing structures – it is scalable – and integrates seamlessly into existing ERP, QM and IT landscapes.

The complexity of day-to-day work is reduced, as tasks become simpler, clearer and more enjoyable.
