The best software is useless if it gets bypassed in everyday work. Integrate seventhings into your daily workflows in such a way that high data quality is automatically achieved as a positive side effect.
You must ensure that the issue of items to your staff is accompanied by a handover report, which is signed within the app.
Offer your staff the opportunity to reserve and borrow work equipment or vehicles via seventhings.
Make the seventhings introduction a must-do part of the onboarding process: if you know how the software works right from the start, you’ll be able to, amongst other things, find the right flipchart for your meeting straight away, book the pool vehicle yourself without any hassle, and know how to snap up a bargain in the Circularity Hub.
Draw up clear, internal working instructions which establish the use of seventhings as the mandatory standard for managing the company’s inventory.
Integrate seventhings with your other software tools via the n8n interface without any coding required. For example, as soon as you create a new object in seventhings, n8n automatically creates an entry in your ERP system and sends a message to the accounts team via your Slack or Teams channel. Tasks in seventhings can also automatically trigger a ticket in your helpdesk (such as Jira or Zendesk). This allows you to synchronise your data in real time and saves you from having to carry out manual steps.
Ensure seamless tool integration and data imports
Make sure that data maintenance begins right from the start in your leading ERP system. It’s best to use our automated interface (API) for data transfer to completely rule out manual export and import errors. If you don’t use an API but want to import or update large amounts of data at once, the best way to do this is via an import. This allows you, for example, to copy your ERP asset numbers directly into the seventhings scan code without having to type them in individually.
