The automotive sector presents unique complexity in managing orders and deliveries. Our EDI solutions are designed to address these challenges and simplify the management of key documents in the industry. Here’s how we can optimize your processes in the automotive sector.
The Importance of EDI in Automotive
In the automotive sector, workflow relies on specific documents such as the delivery forecast and just-in-time delivery. These documents are essential for planning and managing deliveries accurately.
How Do EDI Solutions Work in Automotive?
Delivery Forecast
Long-Term Planning: The delivery forecast represents the production plan for a given period, which can range from three to six months. It indicates which supplier must deliver a certain quantity of products on specific dates. Our EDI systems manage and clearly display these plans, updating them with actual quantities and delivery dates.
Managing Forecasts and Updates
Monitoring and Updates: Every week or bi-weekly, you receive an updated delivery forecast. O&SI’s EDI systems handle variations and requests, clearly showing the quantities already delivered and those still to be shipped. In the case of discrepancies or delays, the system provides a clear overview of the situation.
Special Situations and Complex Orders
Managing Complex Requests: In some situations, such as with complex orders, our system handles requests split into multiple lines for the same order. When the delivery plan includes requests for multiple orders, the system coordinates and sums the quantities as needed, also managing deliveries for separate orders.
Managing Delivery Points
Organization and Logistics: In automotive, it’s essential to manage both the production plant and the delivery points within the plant. Our system ensures that delivery information is accurate and timely.
