Automated B2B data exchange: Error reports, change requests and updates synchronised securely
Error reports, change requests and their status updates flow automatically between your development environment and external partner systems – bidirectional, in real time, without manual data maintenance. agosense.symphony connects internal ALM tools with OEM supplier portals and other B2B channels. Configurable, scalable, made in Germany.
What flows in B2B data exchange: From error reports to attachments
In B2B data exchange, far more than a simple status update matters. agosense.symphony transfers all relevant data objects – completely, bidirectionally and according to the process specifications of both sides:
agosense.symphony as middleware: Connecting internal tools and OEM portals seamlessly
agosense.symphony acts as central middleware between your development environment and external partner systems. Both sides retain their familiar workflows – the automated B2B data exchange runs entirely in the background. Triggers, field mapping and synchronisation rules can be configured without programming effort and adjusted at any time.
As a Tier-1 or Tier-2 supplier in the automotive industry, you are required to communicate error reports, test reports and status updates through your OEM customers' portals. agosense.symphony handles this OEM data exchange fully automatically – for all common supplier portals, without media breaks and without manual intermediate steps. This depth of Integration is offered in the market exclusively by agosense.
Automated data exchange in practice: Inbound and outbound
agosense.symphony covers both directions of B2B data flow – fully automated, rule-based and without manual intervention on either side:
The OEM reports an error
An error is recorded in the OEM's portal. agosense.symphony detects the event, automatically transfers the ticket to the supplier's internal development environment and assigns it to the correct project. The team works in their familiar workflow. Status changes, comments and attachments flow back to the OEM portal in real time – without a single manual step.
The supplier reports an error proactively
The supplier discovers an error in the delivered system and reports it proactively through the OEM customer's portal. agosense.symphony automatically transfers the report from the internal development environment to the customer portal – with all relevant information. From this point, processing continues as in the inbound case: status updates and comments from the OEM flow automatically back into the internal system.
This is what automated OEM data exchange looks like in practice
The video shows a concrete example of how error reports from an OEM portal are automatically transferred to the internal development system – including field mapping, status feedback and attachments. Configuration via graphical interface, no coding required.
What OEM portals require – and what agosense.symphony makes of it
In addition to portal access, the OEM typically also defines the process and format of data exchange. This places specific technical requirements on suppliers:
agosense.symphony meets all these requirements – and delivers concrete benefits for your development team:
