Sample solution: BMEcat for major customers
Starting position

Sample solution: Delegate tasks within teams
Starting position
Sales Manager Oliver Ames notes that article information is incorporated in a customer catalog unevenly. In addition to inconsistent spellings also missing different product images, even the catalog structure is not perfect yet. In some products, the technical article information seems to be outdated. In a week the distribution already needs a new catalog, as an annual meeting is pending with the customer.
Solution
The catalog manager of Miller Ltd. transmits the error list of Mr. Ames as tasks in the MeDaPro Work Manager. For this purpose, the wrongly maintained article is marked and delegated within a task to a competent employee. To update images and information, Employees can jump to the article from their cockpit directly. Meanwhile, the catalog manager has an overview on his own always and delegates tasks as well as work progress by his MeDaPro Cockpit. As soon as all the points are done, he can approve production start of the new catalog.
