BTOB

Twenty years of software and consulting work in Mexico sit behind BTOB, which trades as BTOB Consultores. Its core work is electronic data interchange, known as EDI, which lets firms exchange business documents with their trading partners in a standard form. Alongside EDI it works on logistics projects, e-commerce, the integration of enterprise systems with the web, and information security.

EDI links with trading partners

EDI services connect a company with its business partners and suppliers, so that orders, invoices and other documents move between systems without manual re-keying. The firm says its EDI solutions are built to fit a company's needs whatever its size, and that they serve a range of sectors including logistics, automotive, retail and others. The aim is to make it easy to trade electronically with any partner.

Electronic invoicing for Mexico

The firm's electronic invoicing system is called BTOBFACT 4.0. It creates, receives, validates, rejects or accepts CFDI invoices from business partners, which are the electronic tax invoices used in Mexico. The system also sends a company's own invoices automatically, using whichever technology fits its commercial strategy.

Custom systems and mobile apps

BTOB keeps a software development team that takes on bespoke systems. Its site says each case is studied individually so that the solution matches the client's needs, and it says the firm has more than ten mobile products of its own. Its staff study each case and look for the solution that suits the client's own needs.

Cybersecurity with ViPNet

For information security the firm works with ViPNet technology from PROTELION. The combination is used to protect file sharing, messages and calls within a company, so that information exchanged in daily operations stays protected. The firm presents this as part of its wider work on keeping business information safe.

Industry 4.0, IoT and ERP integration

The firm designs hardware and software for industrial digitalisation, which it describes as part of its Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things work. It also builds ERP-to-web integrations, including links to SAP, and keeps them maintained over time. Its site lists these integration projects alongside its software maintenance services.

Clients and sectors

Projects of any size come to BTOB from automotive, distribution, transport, security, retail and government clients. Its EDI and electronic invoicing work is aimed at companies that exchange many documents with partners.
