SAP Business Objects Global Trade Services is fully integrated into the enterprise resource planning (ERP) application SAP® ERP, and is flexible enough to allow Roth to respond to the ongoing evolution of ATLAS and the scalability and dynamics of Roth's own business. ATLAS' evolution includes data format changes on leads times varying from a few months to as short as a few days, and the increasing scope of electronic declarations required — for example, by 2013 all shipments of less than EUR 1,000 will require electronic export declaration.

Based in Dautphetal, Hesse, Germany, Roth Industries is a successful, global group of midsize companies in the global plumbing, heating and air conditioning, plastics and construction machinery industries, with 1,000 employees developing and producing products for building and engineered plastics, water and wastewater treatment technology and power generation. At home and abroad, the group has over 21 production and sales offices worldwide.
