Focus of this industry: Digital Supply Chain focus · Corporate Finance & Treasury as a complement

▌ 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.

▌ DIGITAL SUPPLY CHAIN: FOCUS OF THIS INDUSTRY

With SAP PPG, we structure variant-rich product worlds and bills of materials so that OEM-specific requirements are mapped cleanly. With the Cost Calculation Cockpit (CCC), we make costing results and margin impact transparent, a decisive lever in the margin-intensive supplier business.

  • SAP PPG: variant configuration and product structuring for suppliers
  • Cost Calculation Cockpit: SAP-integrated costing with a margin view
  • Digital Supply Chain consulting: end-to-end control of global supply chains

▌ CORPORATE FINANCE & TREASURY: COMPLEMENTING GLOBAL FINANCE PROCESSES

Global mobility companies need reliable liquidity and cash control across currencies, plants and entities. We integrate treasury and finance processes into SAP so that reporting and cash management are robust at all times.

  • Liquidity Planning Cockpit: liquidity planning in an international group environment
  • Cash Position Cockpit: cash management across plants and entities

▌ CASE STUDY / SUCCESS STORY
