Automate collaboration between manufacturers and suppliers
The global automotive industry moves quickly, and competition is increasing as new players and technologies enter the market. Today's automakers have to collaborate with a broad network of global suppliers, within strict cost, quality, and environmental controls. Protecting intellectual property is a top concern, and project data must be kept secure at every step of the design process.
Simplifying supply chain integration and collaboration
Rocket B2B Supply Chain Integration solutions help automotive OEMS and their global supply chain partners collaborate by providing them with fast, accurate, and secure document and data exchange and collaboration capabilities. Rocket solutions have proven so secure and effective that some manufacturers use them as the only allowable method for smaller suppliers who need to integrate with their PLM systems.
Getting the right products to market quickly, cost effectively, and at the right time depends on efficient collaboration and exchange of design data and other files with supply chain partners. At Rocket, we’re experts in helping automotive OEMS and their tier 1 global suppliers better integrate, collaborate, and get their work done. Rocket solutions cover many areas, including materials and parts sourcing, and new supplier on-boarding.
