Especially automotive suppliers must be able to react quickly and flexibly to sudden changes - AUTOMOTIVE.ONE supports an effective way of working. The software solution is characterized in particular by a high degree of flexibility and simple, intuitive operation. AUTOMOTIVE.ONE links all business processes into a continuous process chain.
Employees of the respective departments of the automotive industry work with exactly the necessary data material and access current figures with a mouse click. As a result, all work in the various areas is optimally coordinated and the goods can be delivered quickly to the respective destination.
Speed is one of many criteria that gives automotive suppliers a head start in the daily competition and at the same time means growth. The automotive industry solution, which is mapped in SAP Business One, transfers immense amounts of data between different computer systems with the help of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange). This is a requirement that AUTOMOTIVE.ONE developed by init meets: the uncomplicated and paperless exchange of data with the customer.
Electronic data interchange (EDI) ensures continuous communication with the customer. Intervention in the production process is therefore possible at any time. Nevertheless, AUTOMOTIVE.ONE developed by init does not lose track of all movements in the warehouse; all movements in the warehouse are continuously recorded and displayed in clearly arranged graphics. The determination of demand increases, reductions or date shifts compared to the supplier planning are done with one click.

Electronic data interchange (EDI)
EDI is a method of transmitting complex data between different computer systems or computer networks. Due to the different systems and formats, these are optimally managed and integrated with the help of EDI and business processes between customers and suppliers are realized in the shortest possible time.
EDI provides fast data transfer and paperless data exchange in the automotive industry. EDI increases the readiness to deliver and the special deliveries decrease. EDI eliminates data entry and manual transfer of data into supplier-own documents is no longer necessary. EDI also offers an automatic dispatch advice.
The standard business processes transmit the following EDI processes to suppliers:
- Call-off
- JIT delivery schedules and production-synchronous releases.
In order to transmit this data by remote data transmission (RDT), EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), standards are required. The standards are prepared by standardization institutes such as the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport (EDIFACT).
