Plato and enventa group Enter Strategic Partnership

Plato has entered into a strategic partnership with the enventa Group, making our sales software now fully integrated into enventa Trade ERP – and immediately available to users of the ERP system. This collaboration between enventa Group GmbH, a leading ERP provider, and Plato enables wholesalers to adopt AI-driven sales processes with minimal effort and without lengthy IT projects.

With this new integration, Plato helps technical wholesalers optimize their sales workflows – making them smarter, faster, and more customer-centric. The software analyzes ERP data in real time, identifies sales opportunities, detects early signs of customer churn, and automates a wide range of routine tasks in everyday sales operations. This gives inside and field sales teams more time for what really matters: building strong customer relationships.

Daniel Plohnke, Co-CEO of enventa Group, on the partnership:
“We are excited that our customers in the technical wholesale industry can now use the AI-powered sales solution from Plato. In a market facing growing challenges, the software can make a valuable contribution to long-term sales success.”

Fast Implementation, Effortless Use

Plato runs directly within the ERP system – no additional interfaces, no complex setup. Its intuitive user interface is optimized for both desktop and tablet, and ready to go immediately. In the background, the AI processes master and transaction data from the ERP, enriching it with freely available external data. This results in daily, actionable sales recommendations – from cross-selling prompts to early warnings about declining customer engagement.

Field sales representatives can use Plato on the go, plan visits based on real-time data, dictate notes, and create orders on site. Inside sales teams benefit from automated task lists, accurate suggestions, and intelligent search – all within a single, integrated system.

Proven in Practice: Layer-Grosshandel Goes Live

The integration is not just complete – it’s already live.
Layer-Grosshandel GmbH, a long-standing enventa customer, has successfully implemented Plato. CEO Patrick Layer shares:

“Each of our field sales representatives saves several hours every week using Plato – time they now spend in meaningful conversations with customers. The software automates order entry and provides clear forecasts of customer demand.”

The impact: more targeted conversations, more efficient sales processes, and real productivity gains for the team.

Sales Technology Built with Wholesale DNA

Plato was built specifically for technical wholesale – by a team deeply rooted in the industry. Benedikt Nolte (CEO) and Sophie Thomann (Deputy Managing Director) explain:

“We grew up in wholesale and understand that technology alone isn’t enough. AI should never be a goal in itself – it must support people in their daily sales work. With enventa as our strong ERP partner, we look forward to building solutions that deliver real value.”
