Unite expands its network With Unite, 2bits opens up digital networking to its customers Munich/Sinsheim, March 13, 2019 - The neutral B2B network Unite has expanded its partner portfolio to include 2bits, the specialist for SAP based purchasing. For its customers, 2bits from Sinsheim thus opens up flexible solutions based on its innovative purchasing solutions and makes it possible to optimally map individual requirements. With the integration of Unite, 2bits provides its customers with a solution to optimally integrate local and regional partners via a B2B network and at the same time simplify the procurement of items in spot buy processes. Benjamin Storm, Head of Partner Management at Unite Network AG, and Mike-Timo Rübsamen, founder and Managing Director of 2bits, announced the partnership at the 10th BME-eLösungstage in Düsseldorf, the most important trade fair for digital procurement solutions in Germany. Partnerships between companies using digital solutions are one of the main topics of this year's event. Users of the 2bits software will have access to the new solution via an update included with the upcoming special delivery. 2bits was founded in 2001 and has positioned itself early as a specialist for SAP oriented purchasing. The company offers its customers more than 20 years of experience in the SAP environment. This expertise is used by customers who rely heavily on SAP related solutions. For users, the 2bits products enable an optimisation of demand fulfilment and transparency in the respective processes via various interfaces to non-SAP systems. Companies thus benefit from solutions that are optimally tailored to the requirements of a SAP structure, while at the same time being able to map individual processes and requirements. Among the customers of 2bits GmbH are companies from the beverage industry, energy supply, industrial services and logistics. Benjamin Storm, Head of Partner Management at Unite Network AG, is looking forward to the new partnership: "2bits offers its customers the right product to digitally organise individual purchasing requirements. With the pre-integration of the Unite network, users remain in their familiar 2bits environment and at the same time have access to a supplier network without additional connection costs. All transactions via Unite are processed using the single creditor model, simplifying accounting processes" Mike-Timo Rübsamen, founder and CEO of 2bits, emphasises two advantages for his customers: "The partnership between Unite and 2bits enables SAP customers to combine a highly integrated procurement solution with the benefits of a comprehensive and cross-catalogue article search engine. Local content management and problems with non-harmonised master data will be eliminated."
