Automotive

Parts stay in the field for fifteen years. Systems don't.

A component outlives several generations of the software that tracks it, and most of the work sits at the boundaries: OEM requirements, supplier interfaces, traceability duties. We build and run those interfaces, and the applications that let someone answer a question about a part that shipped nine years ago — built from scratch where nothing on the market fits. Embedded in your team, or as a scope we take end to end.

Built for boundaries

The hard part is rarely inside one company. It is the data that has to cross organisational lines and still be trusted on the other side.

Built around your systems

SAP, PLM, MES, your EDI subsystem, in-house tools. We work in the landscape you already have — no rip-and-replace, no migration you didn't ask for.

Teams that stay

The same engineers across releases, so the reasoning behind a message mapping or a tolerance in an interface is still available when a partner changes their format without telling anyone.

Where we build
Where we build

The layers between your systems

Automotive data problems are boundary problems: between OEM and supplier, between plant and system, between the part that shipped and the record of it. We build the crossings — and, where it does not exist yet, the system on the other side. Both are our work.

Supplier data exchange

Delivery call-offs, cumulative quantity logic, and JIT and JIS scheduling — with the EDIFACT and VDA message handling around them, including what happens when a partner sends something malformed at three in the morning.

Traceability

Part- and batch-level genealogy that can scope a recall to the affected units instead of the whole production year — which is the difference between a contained cost and an uncontained one.

Quality workflows

Complaint handling, 8D, and the sampling and release documentation an audit expects, held in systems rather than in spreadsheets on someone's desktop.

Aftermarket and fleet applications

Parts catalogue data, service and warranty processes, and telematics data turned into something a dealer, a workshop, or a fleet operator can actually act on.

Data, security, jurisdiction
Data, security, jurisdiction

Questions your compliance team will ask first

In automotive, security requirements do not originate with you — they arrive from the OEM and propagate down the chain. Here are our answers before you have to pass them on.

Where the data is

Development and operations run from Romania — inside the EU, under GDPR, with no third-country transfer to justify. Hosting follows your requirements, not ours.

Access and separation

Named engineers, defined access scope, documented on- and offboarding. In most projects we work in your systems under your rules.

Security practice

Our processes are aligned with ISO 27001 for information security and ISO 20000 for service management.

Prototype and drawing protection

Specifications and pre-series data arrive under confidentiality terms that go well beyond a standard NDA — prototype protection is its own category with its own rules. Restricted repositories, named engineers, and a clear answer on the assessment level we can meet.

How we set up
How we set up

The project environment comes with us

Getting a nearshore team productive usually costs weeks of licence procurement, tool provisioning, and access requests. We remove that step: our project and delivery environment is hosted, configured, and included.

Tooling included

Project management, tracking, and delivery tooling are provided and hosted by us at no additional cost — configured before the first sprint, not during it.

Or inside your perimeter

If OEM requirements mean sensitive data cannot leave your environment, we work in yours instead. The point is that setup is never the bottleneck, and never the thing that breaks a customer requirement.

Service management

Defined responsibilities, response expectations, and escalation paths, aligned with ISO 20000 practice — documented, because your customer audits will ask for it.

Visibility

You see the same board we do: progress, open issues, quality checks, and what is actually shipping this sprint — exportable when someone needs it as evidence.

Why now
Why now

Four deadlines already in your planning

Automotive suppliers are absorbing obligations that originate with the OEM or the regulator and propagate down the chain. Almost all of them land in IT, and all of them compete for the same internal capacity.

Battery and product passports

Structured, machine-readable product data per unit, starting with batteries in 2027 and widening from there. The data usually exists already — it is simply not in one place, one format, or one system.

Catena-X and OEM data spaces

Traceability, carbon footprint per part, and capacity data are moving into shared data spaces, with participation increasingly arriving as a customer requirement rather than an option. That needs connectors and standardised models, not another export.

Vehicle cybersecurity and update management

UNECE R155 and R156 oblige manufacturers to run documented cybersecurity and software update management — and they pass the evidence requirement straight down to their suppliers.

SAP ECC support ends in 2027

Custom developments and interfaces built around ECC have to be assessed, adapted, or rebuilt alongside everything else on this list. The core migration is one project; the surrounding landscape is a dozen.

Connecting a Hybris customer portal to SAP for a telecom provider

Telecom products live fast and die slow: tariffs are marketed for months, but the contracts they create run for years. We built the integration layer that keeps a Hybris-based customer portal, contract management, and SAP-driven ERP processes consistent — for current offers and legacy products alike.
