Why do we need eCl@ss?
Electronic information flows between companies…
… only the use of a common language make it possible to understand each other in global marketplaces

Why do we need eCl@ss?
Problem: An engineer needs a screw for his construction but does not know a manufacturer of screws
I need a screw for my construction!
Who manufactures screws?
How can I find the screws needed?

The verbal description of a product is often different. The reasons are different areas in which employees are active.
Engineers often have different descriptions for the same product such as buyers or distributors.
