New markets. New competitors. Changed business structures.
The Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) sees the industry in the midst of the most significant transformation in its history. This requires new concepts in supplier strategies, cooperations, the development of new business areas and digitalization.
In the automotive sector, digitalization usually focuses on two areas: digitalization in cars and those in production. It is equally important to digitize your processes to the customer and supplier in order to remain competitive.
The rapid development of new technologies is pushing the automotive industry to invest more and more in research and development. Only with innovative products is it possible to compete against competitors. The market is currently leaning strongly towards connected cars, which requires not only decisive changes in production, but also in your customer approach and agreements with suppliers. With GEDYS IntraWare CRM, you always communicate precisely – even internationally.
The 360° view of your business partners
The rapid development of innovations is in line with ever-increasing customer expectations. This makes it all the more important to have a complete eye on the supplier, the customer and the relevant knowledge about them: from purchasing, marketing to sales and service. This creates satisfied and loyal business relationships.
Clear processes and efficient processes
Uniform data storage and clearly structured processes ensure time-saving workflows and smooth processes. This will provide your employees with more time for the customer’s wishes or negotiations with suppliers. They do not dwell on laborious administrative work.
Reaching customers in person
The personal and emotional approach of customers is becoming increasingly important, especially in the automotive industry. Whether you are a manufacturer, supplier or distributor. With integrated marketing automations, you will address your customers even more specifically in the future and hit your heart directly.
Supplier Relationship Management in Purchasing
Ordering processes with the corresponding supply chains are often complex and cross-site. All purchasing data (including customer contracts, supplier evaluation and clear order, warehousing and item management) are worth gold. Because you can keep track of your suppliers so well, there are no bottlenecks or delays. A big advantage in a competitive market.

Smooth authorization management
Especially in cooperation with various cooperation partners, it is worthwhile to meet the trust of customers through transparent structures and complete documentation. A smooth management of access authorizations and approval processes of any kind through our CRM software gives your data and thus the necessary security.
Research and project funding
According to the VDA, the most important key to continuing to compete in international competition is your innovations. That is why you will have to increase your research and development efforts and expenditures considerably in the future. But the bureaucratic requirements for public funding are immense.
With the GEDYS IntraWare CRM software, you can link your CRM information to the different data systems, for example from research and development. You create meaningful documentation with dashboards and reports at the touch of a button.

All participants receive insight and are always informed about the status of a project. Role and rights assignment can be used to control who is allowed to view and edit which data and to what extent.
Perfect collaboration for success
SRM and CRM functions such as schedules, reminders, tasks, serial tasks or escalations ensure perfect teamwork throughout the enterprise.
Our 30 years of CRM practice show that by optimizing teamwork, the number of successfully completed projects is also increasing: more effective workflows give all employees more time to concentrate on their core tasks.
Extend wisely.

Use integration.
SAP and other ERP systems
You can provide your purchasing and sales department with important information in the GEDYS IntraWare CRM software that is otherwise invisible: For example, thanks to the JDBC or SAP interface, users have access to delivery notes in the customer file, Invoices and open entries. Or view evaluation reports or R&D data in the supplier file. E-mail integration for Outlook, Notes & all IMAP mailboxes is also possible. The time gained in this way can be used, for example, to develop innovative ideas.
