Automotive
on the fast track with EDI
In the automotive industry, every second counts. Precise coordination of all processes - from suppliers (Tier 1 to 3) to manufacturers (OEM) is - the key to increased productivity. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) serves as the invisible engine that optimizes data flow and ensures seamless operations.

The driving force behind smooth automotive production
Because of the highest quality standards and strict time constraints, the automotive sector ranks among the most demanding areas in procurement. Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-in-Sequence (JIS) require that all components be available at precisely the right time and place. To overcome all these challenges, seamless collaboration between OEMs and suppliers throughout the entire supply chain is essential. This is made possible by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), a powerful and robust technology that has proven itself daily in the automotive sector for decades.
Precise data, smart processes – many benefits with EDI
Compatibility with multiple partners
EDI works with standardized message formats like EDIFACT, VDA, or ODETTE, allowing companies to communicate in real-time worldwide, regardless of their IT infrastructure or ERP system.
Increased transparency
EDI allows seamless tracking of all call-offs and deliveries along the entire supply chain. This provides both OEMs and suppliers with a clear overview of inventories and the status of deliveries, minimizing the risk of production downtimes.
Real-time responsiveness
With EDI, OEMs and suppliers can react immediately to changes in demand. Forecasts and orders are updated in real time, allowing companies to scale production flexibly.
Optimizing production and JIT/JIS processes
EDI enables precise, timed communication between manufacturers and suppliers to deliver materials and components exactly when they are needed.

Are you looking to achieve maximum efficiency in your supply chain?
A directly integrated EDI solution into your business information (e.g. ERP, WMS) systems makes it happen! In the process, your data is seamlessly translated between your systems and those of your business partners, enabling automatic processing of business documents such as call-offs, despatch advices or invoices. Manual intervention is completely eliminated. This frees up capacities that are especially valuable for growing companies and can be used for core business in the future.

Is your business partner unable to use EDI due to technical or financial reasons?
No problem! With a web-based supplier portal, you can effortlessly integrate all your business partners, regardless of whether they have their own EDI infrastructure.
The best part: for you, the process remains the same as for a traditional EDI connection. After a one-time setup of a web portal tailored to your requirements, you can connect all your non-EDI-capable business partners to digitize and automate the exchange of document data. This closes the last gap toward the complete digitization of your document management.
