The picture shows a pyramid of colorful cubes, each printed with different symbols. The cubes are stacked in five rows, starting with a wide base and ending with a single cube at the top. Each cube represents a module of the crossbase solution. The colors of the cubes vary and make it easier to differentiate between the subject areas.

Basic Modules

Database Base Module

The crossbase software solution is based on an Oracle database and enables optimum system integration, simple administration and flexible use.

Multilingual User Interface

Data Import Configurator

crossbase offers a graphical interface to analyze the structure of Excel and BMEcat files and to connect columns with database fields (import mapping).

PIM and MAM

A preview, traffic light system, maintenance wizards and color coding ensure complete product data and facilitate updating.
