Digital collaboration built for automotive supply networks
Trusted by manufacturing leaders worldwide.
High volume. Tight timing. No room for weak supplier collaboration.
Automotive supply chains depend on precise collaboration across OEMs, Tier 1s, lower-tier suppliers, logistics partners, and plants. Forecast changes, call-offs, delivery signals, quality requirements, shipment updates, and invoice status all need to move reliably across company boundaries.
Execute on four fronts
SupplyOn combines industry-tested network reach with direct-material process depth across logistics, quality, purchasing, finance, and visibility.
Protect production in direct-material supply chains
Automotive supply chains need more than static order exchange. They need reliable execution across forecasts, orders, confirmations, ASNs, receipts, and transport status.
How it helps
- Standardize forecast, order, and delivery collaboration
- Capture supplier responses and deviations in a structured process
- Improve visibility into material flow before production is exposed
Impact
- Better supply continuity
- Less firefighting close to delivery
- Faster reaction to operational deviation
Improve delivery performance and logistics reliability
Performance depends on fast, consistent logistics collaboration across suppliers and plants — delivery instructions, ASN, transport data, and replenishment methods such as VMI.
How it helps
- Replace parallel channels with one standardized supplier process
- Improve transparency on order, delivery, and transport status
- Support more reliable replenishment and delivery execution
Impact
- Better logistics consistency across plants and suppliers
- Lower manual coordination effort
- Stronger delivery performance and inventory control
Strengthen supplier quality and launch readiness
Structured collaboration in supplier quality – APQP, supplier evaluation, complaint management, and standardized 8D-based problem solving – speeds up issue closure and long-term improvement.
How it helps
- Support automotive-standard complaint handling and 8D follow-through
- Increase transparency in supplier assessment and development
- Connect supplier quality work more closely to operational execution
Impact
- Faster closure of supplier issues
- Better traceability and follow-through
- More sustainable supplier quality improvement
Scale digital collaboration across the automotive network
Standardize supplier-facing processes without rebuilding everything from scratch for each plant, business unit, or supplier group. Catena-X interoperability strengthens future-ready collaboration.
How it helps
- Roll out established standards across global supplier landscapes
- Reach suppliers faster through an existing network model
- Support interoperable collaboration approaches in automotive
Impact
- Faster rollout and adoption
- Lower IT and onboarding effort
- Better consistency across the supplier base
