AEB software proven in practice

As the volume of data grows, manual classification becomes complex, time-consuming, and uncertain.

Hundreds of thousands of materials. Millions of master data. Levels of complexity from simple screws to elaborate grinding machines. And three problems that slow down your classification:

Incomplete, inconsistent material data scattered across many tools

Compliance risks due to constant regulatory changes, audits, and unclear processes

Manual processes, tool chaos, and Excel spreadsheets are slow, expensive, and prone to errors.

How Product Classification ends the data and classification chaos. And reduces the workload for your team.

Product Classification ensures clarity, control, and compliance. It creates the data basis for automation. And delivers automation at the same time.

Classification becomes transparent, secure, and traceable, for example, for global trade audits.

AI and rule-based automation ensure quick, well-founded decisions and results.

Work better (together)

Product Classification automates recurring tasks, reduces manual interventions, and noticeably relieves your team.

Workflows enable a reliable dual control principle and collaboration between teams (e.g. customs experts and technicians) during classification. Faster, more direct, without any extra workload for you.
