Strategic advising for the automobile industry
In hardly any other industry are there such tightly timed cross-company value creation chains as in the automobile industry. However, given dramatic shifts in the regional importance of sales and procurement markets; the electrification, digitalization, and individualization of vehicles; and with respect to ever-stricter environmental protection regulations, OEMs and suppliers are facing enormous upheavals. Without changes, the strengths of the past will lead to a dead end.

Trends in supplier management:
Mobile expert teams secure the supply chain
Complex supply chains in the automobile industry and mechanical engineering are creating ever more mutual dependencies between OEMs and suppliers. Supplier management that focuses only on a search for replacement sources in case of delivery problems is no longer adequate. A new trend: manufacturers commission supply chain management experts with process optimization at the supplier in case of insufficient security of supply.
Securing the start-up of international spare parts warehouses
As part of 16 new regional warehouses worldwide, valantic was responsible for Hypercare from go-live to ensure delivery reliability and process stability.
The focus was on troubleshooting on site, including the definition and implementation of immediate measures, implementation of shop floor management including KPI reporting and continuous process optimization.
Commissioning planning
The construction of a large number of new warehouses in the area of after-sales and production logistics necessitated risk-reducing commissioning and ramp-up planning, including roll-out.
Among other things, valantic was responsible for 3-PL implementations, safeguarding process functionality from go-live and tracking construction and installation progress for buildings, infrastructures, logistics and IT equipment as well as FCZ.
Digitisation of your customer touchpoints – in B2B and B2C
Redesign eCharge app with UI/UX concept: How and where do I charge my electric vehicles? How long does the battery last? Which board functions will help me? Before development of the app, we surveyed e-mobilists and people who were new to e-vehicles about their driving behavior and handling of electric autos. Via paper prototyping and a UX test, we analyzed how they use the app, what they expect from the charging function, and how they plan their routes. We used these insights for the development and confirmed our impulse to rely on simplicity.
