Driving digital transformation in the Automotive industry

Car manufacturers, automotive OEMs, tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers, and dealerships face significant pressure to overhaul their global operations and adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of mobility. Hence, it is inevitable to find innovative approaches to proactively foresee risks throughout your inbound material supply chain and safeguard the supply of crucial parts and continue to improve efficiency for commodities and other materials.

EV adoption increase

A 90% increase in EV sales and a transition towards emission-free vehicles requires the industry to go into “business-as-unusual” to take advantage of the opportunities and avoid becoming obsolete. Managing through this transition with the ramp-down of the traditional model and ramp-up of a new model with fewer but more expensive and critical parts, fewer suppliers but still additional ones to the existing supply base as well as changes in the core manufacturing process combined with different logistics schemes is going to be formidable. 

90%

Raises safety stock

Due to increasing unpredictability leading to disruption of the 'just-in-time' model that has been foundational to the industry for decades, manufacturers have started to go to ad-hoc 'just-in-case' strategies for parts without changing operational processes with their suppliers. By shifting from ‘just-in-time’ to ‘just-in-case’ strategies, manufacturers hold more stock to protect against unplanned disruptions. The write-downs of excess and obsolete inventory often follow stocking binges. Hence, larger safety stocks are a remedy, not a cure.

87%

Has limited visibility

Automotive supply chains are built to bring large numbers of components together into a just-in-time / just-in-sequence manufacturing process. Even with the other 2 trends, the top operational challenge within automotive supply chains is to ensure full visibility throughout the procure-to-pay cycle including logistics planning and execution. 81% have implemented supply chain visibility solutions, but only 13% are real-time enough, and link material flows to the designated transportation processes. Virtually none will track beyond the next tier of suppliers.

Fast adoption and easy supplier onboarding

With the rapid growth in electric vehicle production, your supplier base is expanding to include hundreds of new suppliers. They may not use your traditional Automotive EDI standards like VDA. We reduce the complexity and delays in onboarding, and managing these suppliers by providing a cutting-edge platform with Tradeshift and other networks that span 190 countries and already connect over 2.5 million companies. Our AI-powered exception management translates into action-based collaborations with suppliers and LSPs, measuring the deviation, risk, and resolution capability of suppliers to support an adaptive supply chain.

Supply chain visibility and performance

To effectively manage such a complex supply chain, you need real-time insight through a "control tower" that monitors all moving components and transaction statuses, and especially detects and alerts the missing ones. Our event-driven framework delivers real-time alerts on exceptions against the plan and events that should have been reported. Our dashboard monitors the KPIs of our suppliers and their SLA compliance so they can proactively see how they perform and meet your requirements. Our advanced workflows and integrated collaboration drive end-to-end supply chain performance in a consistent way.

Supply chain visibility and performance

Well-managed JIT supply chains

Efficient inventory management plays a vital role, as holding more raw materials or components to protect against unplanned disruptions has a cash flow as well as a physical impact on automotive supply chains. To tackle this challenge, Quyntess provides sophisticated supply chain management apps and integration solutions to monitor projected inventory balances continuously based on an aggregation of all data from the entire supply chain, linked to your production schedules. This proactive alerting and decision support brings buffer sizes for “just-in-case” in relation to actual supplier performance and risk and provides more stability to JIT Kanban production schedules.

Improving logistic flows and freight costs

Moving large numbers of components just in time and just in sequence to the assembly location can be a big challenge for car manufacturers, suppliers, and carriers. Hence, it is of utmost importance to manage and track component flows within the supply chain while getting a grip on freight management and freight costs at a granular level. Our shipment and logistics apps uniquely combine the world of materials with the world of transportation. Where other solutions rely on a series of 1:1 exchanges in a sequence of events, our network of sellers, buyers, and carriers seamlessly integrates these into one single process which increases efficiency and performance.

Order Collaboration

If you also work with classical Purchase Orders for suppliers, the Order Collaboration App optimizes collaboration to complement or provide an alternative to EDI (electronic data interchange) integration with your supplier's ERP system. For contract-based procurement, this is where you share the Contracts with suppliers that drive the delivery schedules. They are used to update prices, add contract lines for new periods, and monitor overall quantities and price breaks.

Forecast Collaboration

The Forecast Collaboration App allows collaboration between buyers and suppliers on developments in time-phased demand. With the app, we support your contract-based procurement with Delivery Schedules for suppliers that are easy to work with, because we proactively point out relevant changes with or without a feedback loop from the supplier. We support just-in-time and KanBan schedules and leverage these directly during the Shipment Collaboration process.

Inventory Collaboration

This app is designed to improve visibility on stock balances with all relevant elements such as forecasts, announced dispatches, inventory by location, and production schedules. It proactively alerts on shortages, especially if milestones from external sources are not reported for completion. They safeguard from production schedule disruptions and can drive safety stocks down by incorporating suppliers’ actual performance and deviations into the calculation.
