Solutions for Automotive

Maintain profitability and growth through data integration

The auto industry is dominated by a few large manufacturers that control the global supply of vehicles. The life-blood of this industry, however, is made up of a myriad of small and mid-sized manufacturers of component parts and aftermarket products that power the entire sector. These small and mid-sized manufacturers must respond to mandates provided by the large auto manufacturers and by the larger aftermarket retailers while trying to maintain control over a myriad of data sources relating to customer information, product orders, logistics information and other data related to satisfying customer demands.

To remain competitive, automotive suppliers not only have to ensure that they comply with mandates, they also must ensure that their in-house processes and procedures are as streamlined and optimized as possible.

The single biggest problem faced by these suppliers is control over data quality. Multiplication of in-house systems that are acquired with the goal of optimizing an individual department ultimately lead to incredible data redundancies, procedural inefficiencies and a myriad of manual data entry points that have to be managed. For any automotive supplier the ultimate goal is an uninterrupted chain from point of order to the ultimate point of sale to and end consumer. Companies that achieve this type of supply chain optimization can only do so with extensive data cleansing, data integration and data delivery processes to automate and streamline the operation.

Small and mid-sized automotive suppliers can transform their operations and achieve significant benefits:

Increased efficiency of operations

Through data integration automotive suppliers can streamline their operations to achieve a new level of efficiency. With nearly instant access to data manufacturers can eliminate costly bottlenecks and provide “just-in-time” response to customer requirements

Improving product performance

By integrating data and having real-time visibility to customer requirements and point-of-sale performance, automotive suppliers can focus on product performance and optimize inventory levels and response times to create supply chains that provide the right product at the right time

Establishing a robust compliance framework

Human data entry mistakes are the single largest cause of charge-backs and other customer compliance penalties that can lead to bottom line losses. Through data integration automotive suppliers can eliminate manual data entry and provide the most responsive and accurate product fulfillment chain possible achieving levels of compliance with customers
