▌ INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
What challenges Automotive and Mobility in SAP.
These four topics shape the SAP projects of our customers in the mobility sector.
|
Global supply chains Just-in-Time and Just-in-Sequence demand precise delivery and production planning across plant and country borders. |
Changing powertrains Electrification and new component structures are changing bills of materials, master data and supplier relationships. |
|
Costing under margin pressure Material costs and exchange rates have a direct impact on the margin. Transparent costing in SAP is a must. |
Customer-specific variants Suppliers produce for many OEMs in numerous variants, with high demands on configuration logic and data consistency. |
▌ OUR ANSWER
Our answer: supply chain at the centre, finance integrated.
In the automotive and mobility environment, our focus lies clearly in the Digital Supply Chain, from variant structure through supplier integration to costing. As a complement, we bring in Corporate Finance & Treasury to keep liquidity and reporting robust even under changing market conditions.
