NOCA is a B2B software and API platform for intelligent master data management in manufacturing industries. The NOCA portal helps users structure their data internally, share it externally and then applies AI to automate and optimise workflows across company borders.

This eliminates manual tasks, reduces integration resources and delivers insights for better decision making.

Furthermore companies are able to operate processes with NOCA which are not covered in full by their ERP system such as bill of material management or article- and variation management.

Companies can easily adapt the software to their needs to enable streamlined and automatic internal processes as well as having the opportunity to share this data along the supply chain.
