To achieve a unified and efficient business ecosystem, seamless integration of applications is crucial. The application landscape leverages industry-leading backbone applications such as SAP and Salesforce, which provide core functionalities for enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, and sales automation. These backbone applications serve as the foundation upon which other satellite applications such as ICTOS, WMS and AEU-BI can be built, ensuring data consistency, process standardization, and centralized management.
