The devil is in the detail and IT systems provide it!

Information technology is a key component of any business in today’s fast paced world of commerce. However in automotive manufacturing where it monitors the continual stream of deliveries, vehicle movements and production requirements, the reliability on the accuracy of data is crucial. The data held must be accurate and acted upon continually to maintain efficiency immediately the need arises and to avoid potentially disastrous consequences.

Who monitors your data?

If a manufacturer chooses a contractor to provide resource and expert analysis, continual review and reporting of any part of their systems interface – you can be sure they have explored all the options. Especially when you consider this exerts control over supplier haulier communication, shipping notification and deliveries received. Which means this has a direct financial impact on plant budgets, production capability and stock.

So why choose a third party contractor for this crucial role?

Naturally outsourcing means lower personnel costs, as you are paying for an activity to be performed, not an individual who may take sick leave, will take holidays and cost you more in employment administration. But it wouldn’t make financial sense unless you could be certain of the integrity of the service.

  • Supplier haulier shipping notification and planning
  • Dynamic consignment auditing and reporting
  • Ongoing process improvement based upon accurate data continually acted upon

Which means the manufacturer has the utmost confidence in the relationship and the ability to deliver a seamless partnership at the heart of the business.
