Status quo — today’s challenges for automotive companies
Automotive companies invest significant resources in essential but non-differentiating activities: managing business partner master data and exchanging certificates.
- Maintaining up-to-date and correct business partner data is costly, but essential to avoid regulatory fines, incorrect claims, and billing issues.
- Certificate management is often fragmented and inefficient, especially for suppliers who need to upload the same certificates — such as ISO 9001, ISO 27001, or TISAX — across multiple customer portals.
Thes tasks are performed redundantly across companies, while regulatory demands continue to grow, increasing the pressure on automotive players to find more efficient and reliable solutions.
