Case Study: Eurogate simplifies spare parts ordering with free Konecranes API

The Konecranes Spare Parts API is a part of a suite of Konecranes-developed APIs that make equipment ownership and lifecycle management simpler and smarter. Ordering your spare parts can now become an automated workflow, directly from your company’s ERP or similar system.

As long as you have an account in the STORE, your Spare Parts API will work across all equipment spare parts lists.
 

Problem(s) without Spare Parts API

1. Spare parts or consumables orders are done manually via secondary platform (Konecranes STORE) or via email

2. Spare parts availability must be checked manually in the STORE

3. Konecranes STORE does not have functionality for automatic, interval-based ordering
 

Solution with Spare Parts API

Tailor our Spare Parts API to suit your needs - from simple STORE-front browsing, to full implementation including an ordering EDI
 

Benefits

Truconnect API• Free-to-use: There is currently no charge for the use of the API. 
• Seamless Shopping: Direct from your own system you will be able to browse all spare parts lists, open and download catalogues, add parts to your cart, order and track delivery.
• Automated Ordering: You can tailor your API to order spare parts and consumables on a time-interval, so you’re never out of stock of the essentials. 
• Flexible: This back-end system works with any existing front-end (ERP/SAP) system. 
• Reliable: The very latest spare parts lists, availability, and prices at your fingertips. 
• Cost Savings: Deploy your procurement functions more efficiently.
