The goal of the project was to further develop a Java business application developed in 2020 for quotation calculation of vehicle service contracts for international use.

sales application international i18n BITS GmbH

In the first step, the application was expanded to include functions for multilingualism and multicurrency capability to enable the subsequent application rollout in 21 ESA markets.

After the internationalization went live, the second step was to expand the user group and the functional scope of the application to include “importers”.

The cooperation with BITS GmbH

“The amount of positive feedback from users, as well as the importers’ desire to work with our new application, shows me that we’ve all done a super job over the past 2 years.”
