Adapting Across the Spectrum of the Automotive Supply Chain
OEMs
OEMs
As the shift to EVs continues, OEMs face heightened competition, demand volatility, supply chain disruptions, quality pressures and government regulations, (e.g., customs, sustainability). For timely delivery of quality products online or at dealerships, OEMs need supply chain solutions to mitigate risk, manage suppliers and ramp up production.
Learn MoreTiered Suppliers
Tiered Suppliers
Tiered suppliers face EV production pressures including reducing costs, increasing profitability, retaining employees and better supply chain planning. All suppliers must comply with industry and government standards (e.g., MMOG/LE, IATF 16949/sustainability/cybersecurity) or risk losing business and facing customer audits.
Learn MoreAftermarket
Aftermarket
Automotive Aftermarket manufacturers are hungry for insights into end customer behavior and preference data and to tie that to vehicle parts data. As the industry is shifting towards EVs, Enterprise Applications will need to improve online sales, quality, optimize inventory and ensure the product will be delivered, on-time to the consumer.
