SAP for Automotive Suppliers

Make your business model fit for the future

Achieve operational excellence with msg and SAP

Ever shorter development cycles, increasingly complex production processes and massive competitive pressure are forcing medium-sized automotive suppliers in particular to further increase their efficiency and productivity. New market actors like Google and Apple are changing the playing field in the automotive industry with new technologies and business models. Digitalized processes are opening up new business opportunities here.

As a certified SAP full-service provider, we successfully implement SAP S/4HANA in our customer projects. 40 years of industry expertise and process knowledge across all areas of automotive suppliers form the basis for successful consulting and implementation projects. In addition, we also offer SAP license/maintenance, SAP operation (on premise, cloud) in our own data centers and application management services. We provide you with independent consultancy.

Our hearts beats SAP

Current challenges for automotive suppliers

  • Are our logistics processes optimally structured?
  • Can we manage warranty claims and refunds automatically?
  • What can a simplified processing of goods movements look like?
  • Are continuous quality controls integrated into our processes?
  • Do we know our customers' needs well enough?
  • How can we optimize our materials and product management?
  • Do we meet supplier standards and OEM requirements?

Our portfolio offers the right solutions

The schedule is set: In 2027, SAP will discontinue its support for the currently active SAP version ECC 6.0 EhP 8. One thing is certain: All companies, which are currently using SAP and want to continue using it must have migrated to SAP S/4HANA by then. This is a far reaching change that has huge innovation and optimization potential for digital transformation. We accompany you on this journey and get you in shape for your transformation process.

In fast-moving times, maintaining competitiveness is a top priority - and digitalization reinforces this situation. To meet this challenge, automotive suppliers need efficient, flexible and transparent processes in logistics and in JIT/JIS handling. Tailored, practice-oriented and highly configurable SAP solutions, such as those deployed by msg, are the prerequisite for this.

We are happy to advise you!

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) help to continuously improve important key figures such as times, quality, scrap and traceability. Besides the implementation of SAP MES, process-related and data-related integration of existing MES solutions into the SAP overall concept is also part of our consulting services. In this context, we attach great importance to the integrative mapping of horizontal and vertical integration in the company - from the store floor to the top floor.

Product offensives and a steadily increasing number of variants place a high burden on the processes and systems of automotive companies and bring to light any weak points or a lack of integration of the IT systems.
