Automotive

Industries

Plants that hit takt, programmes that launch on time.

A new automotive industry is being built in real time — new assembly plants, localisation targets and EV programmes that leave no room for slow systems.

Altivate delivers the SAP core this industry runs on: SAP for Automotive on SAP S/4HANA, SAP Digital Manufacturing on the shop floor, SAP Extended Warehouse Management at the line side and SAP Integrated Business Planning across every supplier tier, with Catena-X-ready data sharing built in.

Then we make it intelligent — SAP Business AI and Joule in the flow of daily work, and Altivate agentic AI working on your own production, quality and supplier data.

The result: plants that hit takt, parts that arrive on time and programmes that launch on schedule.

The pressures

The pressures reshaping automotive

Building an automotive industry from the ground up compresses decades of complexity into a few programme cycles.

Localisation programmes require plants, supplier parks and skilled teams to be stood up in years, not decades.
EV and connected-vehicle platforms add software, battery and charging complexity to an already capital-heavy business.
One late component still stops the line — multi-tier supply visibility is now a production issue, not a procurement one.
OEMs increasingly expect traceable, standards-based data sharing across the value chain, with Catena-X setting the pattern.
Aftersales and parts margins depend on service networks that legacy systems cannot see end to end.
Delivery

What Altivate delivers on SAP

The automotive core, from the financial ledger to the line side.

One automotive core

SAP for Automotive on SAP S/4HANA gives every programme one set of numbers across finance, procurement and production. Costing, engineering changes and supplier settlement stop living in disconnected systems.

Shop floors run to takt

SAP Digital Manufacturing connects planning to execution with real-time visibility of orders, quality and equipment performance on every line. Deviations surface as they happen, not at end of shift.

Parts at the line side

SAP Extended Warehouse Management sequences parts to the line and keeps every movement traceable from receipt to consumption. Line-side stock stays lean without risking a stoppage.

Planning across every tier

SAP Integrated Business Planning aligns vehicle and parts demand with capacity across your supplier network. Catena-X-ready data sharing keeps that plan built on the same data your partners see.

The edge

Where AI changes the game

Intelligence built into the plant, not bolted onto the reports.

Joule on the shop floor

SAP Business AI and Joule work inside SAP Digital Manufacturing and SAP S/4HANA, answering in plain language what stopped a line or where an order sits. Supervisors act in the moment instead of exporting reports.

Agents across the supply base

Altivate agentic AI works on your own supplier, quality and logistics data to chase confirmations, flag at-risk shipments and prepare expedites before the line feels them. Planners approve decisions instead of assembling them.

Quality predicted, not inspected

AI on your own production and warranty data finds the drift behind defects before they reach end of line. Scrap, rework and claims fall because causes surface early.
