The 'Data Collection' component (Logistics Data Warehouse) is central to the Logistics Information System (LIS) and is integrated in all LIS information systems.

The selection of the 'Data Collection' component is a prerequisite for using all other components in the logistics information systems.

The functions for this component allow you to define and construct your own Logistics Data Warehouse. This takes place in the 'Data Collection' component using variable data structures to satisfy the various requirements of different user groups or applications. The self-defined information structures play a key role in this process. A variety of tools allow these structures to be filled with customer-specific data (also external data).

In addition, the 'Data Collection' component contains functions, which allow you to define the way in which statistical data from the application is written to the information system. Update groups and update rules are also available.
