Keep vehicle hardware, software and suppliers on one thread.

Vehicle programmes now combine mechanical design, electronics and a growing share of software. Requirements, variants, supplier data and release evidence need to stay connected as each of them changes.

Where the thread usually breaks

Software outpaces the BOM

Embedded software releases move faster than the parts they ship on, so it becomes difficult to state which code version belongs to which vehicle configuration.

Supplier data arrives in pieces

CAD, specifications and change notices from Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers land in separate places and are reconciled by hand.

Process evidence is scattered

Assessments against frameworks such as ASPICE and ISO 26262 need traceability that is hard to assemble from disconnected tools.

What we focus on

  • Requirement-to-test traceability for vehicle functions and ECUs
  • Software binaries managed as parts in the product structure
  • Variant and configuration rules for EBOM and MBOM
  • Engineering change handover to SAP for production and service
