Automotive EDI that keeps your supply chain moving

The automotive sector is under pressure from every direction – electrification targets, volatile demand, new EV entrants, and increasingly strict OEM requirements. At the same time, many suppliers are still relying on:

• Legacy EDI systems that are hard to change or extend
• Manually managed OEM portals and spreadsheets
• One or two internal EDI experts who are nearing retirement
• Patchwork connections that don’t integrate cleanly with ERP or production systems

The result? Missed messages, planning errors, penalties for late or incorrect deliveries, and constant firefighting.

• Reliable OEM connectivity using the formats and protocols your customers mandate (for example EDIFACT, VDA, OFTP2, AS2)
• Automated document flows for call‑offs, delivery schedules, advanced shipping notifications and invoices
• Integration with ERP, MES and warehouse systems, so your data is consistent from forecast through to billing
• Scalability for new OEMs and EV programmes, without long, risky projects each time you add a trading partner

This isn’t a generic software demo. It’s a working session focused on your position in the automotive supply chain and the EDI obligations you face.

In your session, we’ll help you:

• Map your current EDI landscape: who you trade with, which formats and protocols you use today, and where the gaps and risks are
• Review OEM and tier one requirements: including calloff frequency, label and ASN expectations, and any upcoming digital mandates
• Identify quick wins: such as automating manual portal activity, stabilising critical connections, or simplifying how you onboard new trading partners
• Explore modernisation option:  from cloud based EDI to fully managed services where our team runs EDI day-to-day on your behalf
• Outline a realistic roadmap: sized to your budget, in‑house skills and production timelines, so you can improve EDI without putting current programmes at risk

You’ll leave the conversation with a clear picture of what “good” looks like for EDI in your business, and the steps to get there.
