SoftTechPro UG (limited liability) specialises in electronic data interchange (EDI) and the integration of business processes between companies, ERP systems and business partners. The focus is on solutions that enable the automated exchange of purchase orders, invoices, delivery notes and other structured business documents, and their conversion into various data formats. The technology supports, amongst other things, EDIFACT – including EANCOM subsets – as well as XML, ASCII, JSON and other structured ERP export formats.
The offering is aimed in particular at small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as businesses in the retail, manufacturing, logistics and skilled trades sectors that need to implement electronic connections with larger customers or suppliers. SoftTechPro addresses the typical challenges of traditional EDI projects: long implementation times, heavy reliance on external specialists, complex interface maintenance and time-consuming adjustments when partner requirements change.
A key focus is on a largely standardised and user-friendly setup. Partner and ERP formats can be integrated via a graphical user interface; data can be added, modified or removed without the need for programming. This enables companies to carry out many adjustments themselves whilst operations are ongoing and to connect new business partners more quickly. For data transfer, SoftTechPro supports established protocols such as AS2 with certificate encryption, SFTP and HTTPS.
In terms of operation, both local installations on Windows systems and server-based deployment models are available. For on-premises scenarios, the company emphasises data sovereignty, as business-critical data does not need to be temporarily stored on third-party servers. Furthermore, the technology supports electronic invoicing formats such as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD 2.x.
According to the company, its specialisation is based on more than 25 years’ experience in EDI and insights gained from several hundred integration projects. A key feature is the proprietary conversion engine, which is designed for standardised workflows, high processing speeds and low technical barriers to entry. In addition, SoftTechPro combines self-service with optional support for set-up and configuration. The aim is to reduce the administrative burden associated with electronic document exchange, avoid manual data entry and continue to utilise existing IT structures, rather than building extensive new infrastructure to meet EDI requirements.
