What are My Advantages with ProtoBox?
Increased Efficiency
Employees can log in directly and access the modules they need for efficient work.
Fast Communication
Communicate with Trade Monkey modules directly from your ERP system.
IT Independence
All our modules are web-based, require no software installation, and no space on servers.
Implemented Expertise
Our partner network consists of experts from various fields, whose expertise we specifically incorporate into our applications – for example: queries for indirect sanctions via the Dow Jones database, customs law and export control, interface technology for SAP, Oracle, and other ERP programs.
High Security
Your data and our software applications are hosted in a certified (ISO 27001) data center in Switzerland. If areas of a system are compromised during a cyber attack, the ProtoBox modules are not affected.
Flexibly Combinable
You can license the desired modules and connect them with each other. You don’t have to do without information that isn’t directly from your ERP system either. Through connections to external services, options for manual input, and third-party data integration, the business process is seamlessly mapped without having to adapt the ERP program.

Case Study “Federal Institute of Metrology METAS”.
High Security
The Federal Institute of Metrology METAS was looking for a solution to export delivered devices after calibration, verification, or testing. It was important that the entire process could be mapped seamlessly and that the relevant internal departments were involved.
Deployed Trade Monkey Modules
The basis is formed by our modules “Swiss eVV” and “Swiss e-dec”, which we have expanded with parts from “Swiss Transport” and customer-specific elements.
Benefit for METAS
The Protobox process has led METAS to optimize and adapt business processes that would have remained under the radar in normal daily business.
Additional functions such as inventory management of gas cylinders or the archive with extended transport cost reporting offer real added value, as they are also centrally mapped on the new platform. Integrated email functions simplify internal communication and make it more efficient.
