Software for automotive: takt, quality and supply.

Automotive runs at a rhythm few other sectors know: takt times, delivery schedules, quality requirements with documentation duty. As a supplier or niche builder in that chain, every weak spot in your processes shows up directly in the margin.

Start with the manual work between systems

Our ERP years began in this world — at major names in truck and vehicle building and their supply chains. The discipline of automotive (everything measurable, everything traceable) is exactly the bar business software should meet, and rarely does.

At work in automotive

For automotive companies we look first at the manual work between systems: taking over customer schedules, retyping quality data, assembling reports. Those are the places where a targeted application pays for itself in weeks.

Questions from automotive

Our customer demands EDI/delivery schedule integration. Possible without a big project?

Often, yes. Between 'all manual' and 'full EDI suite' sits a pragmatic layer: reading schedules automatically and translating them into your own planning. That's an app, not a programme.

Quality documentation costs us days per month. Can it be automated?

Largely. If the measurements originate digitally somewhere, the reporting can be generated. The prototype shows within 48 hours how much of your specific paperwork can be caught.

Are you familiar with OEM requirements for suppliers?

Yes, from years in and around those chains. More importantly: we translate those requirements into the minimum your organisation needs in systems and processes — not the maximum package.

Recognise these processes?

Tell us which process costs you most. Within one working day you'll hear what is possible and what it would take.
