One of the enduring lessons in the automotive sector is that fragmented supply chains pose inherent vulnerabilities and result in unnecessary financial burdens.ย
Mastering the tracking and management of every component throughout the automotive supply chain is critical for enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and meeting the stringent requirements of OEMs.ย
TrueAuto builds seamless, end-to-end digital supply networks for automotive businesses, ensuring real-time exchange, analysis and visibility of critical data that can impact cost and customer value โ even when parts and/or vehicles are in transit.ย
One language. One version of the truth.
Most logistics platforms donโt โspeakโ automotive. TrueAuto bridges this gap, empowering manufacturers to optimize the flow of materials and finished products
3PL/4PLs use powerful transportation management and load optimization systems to provide exceptional visibility, flexibility, and cost-efficiency to their customers. Unfortunately, most of these systems are not natively designed to meet the distinct requirements of automotive OEMs and suppliers, neither are they able to talk to the extensive array of ERP/WMS systems utilized by suppliers and OEMs.ย
TrueAuto translates automotive data into a format that enables all integrated supply chain systems to exchange critical demand, production, and transportation intelligence. This propels your supply chain into the future, opening the door to a vast range of benefits, including:ย
- Instant, early short-ship alertsย
- Transition to lean inventory modelย
- Real-time visibility, port to port and port to destinationย
- Automated multi-modal, finished-vehicle logisticsย
- Detention tracking and cost recoveryย
- Reduced transportation costsย
- Elimination of shipping errorsย
