Driving improved customer experience for automotive organizations
If you're an auto OEM, you're relying more and more on the digitization and automation of your inbound components supply and outbound spares distribution as major levers of business growth. If you're dealing in spare parts, your focus is to ensure consistent service levels; if you're dealing in inbound components you're going to focus on component availability for uninterrupted production to improve brand perception. Our Fulfillment Cloud helps automotive businesses improve production yield with real-time component visibility and increased service levels through collaborative execution.
