SEW-EURODRIVE solves this challenge for you in a reliable and uncomplicated way with ESIS^® Inform and ESIS^® Comfort.

ESIS^® Inform allows you to retrieve information in a supplier-encompassing way using a standardized interface. This gives you access to the latest technical documentation, product data sheets, and CAD data at all times – from your own system. Local storage and updating of large quantities of data is no longer necessary. You can also retrieve the order and delivery status using ESIS^® Inform with a single mouse click.

ESIS^® Comfort provides you with an automated facility for importing quotation and order data into your application. In addition to the pdf document, you also receive an ESIS^® Comfort file.
