Paradigm shift

Bring your data to life with Cofinity-X

We provide the technical basis for the secure exchange of business data in full alignment with Catena-X principles:

Data sovereignty

Companies own and control their data at all times. All data are thereby rigorously protected from unauthorized access. This builds trust, while facilitating compliance, collaboration and the more efficient exchange of data.

Interoperability

Business applications from various providers can communicate and work together seamlessly. This open approach breaks down silos and enables smoother workflows. It also fosters innovation – by allowing companies to use the best tools on the market without worrying about compatibility issues.

Mutually agreed standards

The Catena-X association collaboratively defines standards to facilitate seamless data exchange across the automotive ecosystem. This open format allows participation by all members, so each organization can contribute to and benefit from a consistent approach to data exchange, e.g. using digital twins.

Decentralization

Decentralized data are managed across multiple locations rather than at a central point, increasing security, resilience and control over information. Cofinity-X does not store or have access to any customer data.

Catena-X offers us a wide variety of required and future-oriented use cases. These help participating companies, for example, to secure material supplies, drive the digitalization of their production across company boundaries, or comply with social, climate protection and human rights standards throughout the entire value chain. With the new operating company, we now have the opportunity for the first time to offer cross-company digital solutions via an open and freely accessible marketplace. This gives us an important competitive advantage.

In Volkswagen Group’s New Auto Strategy, digitalization plays a central role in making manufacturing more efficient and sustainable, improving our customer experience and gearing up our business model for the future. The prerequisite for this is connecting manufacturers, suppliers and partners in a secure data ecosystem. Catena-X is the framework for such a collaborative, open platform along the entire value chain. With our joint venture, Cofinity-X, we are now implementing this vision: via an open marketplace with applications and services that enable secure and standardized data exchange between all players. Cofinity-X customers can access applications and services to realize strategic use cases such as CO2 and ESG monitoring, component traceability and circular economy. We especially want to make it easier for small and medium-sized companies to participate in this data ecosystem on an equal footing. This is how we are taking the digitalization of the automotive industry to the next level.

Catena-X aims to provide greater resiliency and transparency to the automotive value chain, improving its quality and efficiency for all companies involved. This open and collaborative data ecosystem perfectly reflects SAP’s vision to enable every organization’s participation in a network of intelligent, sustainable enterprises. It also gives the companies leveraging the Catena-X automotive network access to a broad portfolio of SAP solutions, from enabling the traceability of products across multiple parties in the supply chain to tracking and calculating Scope 3 emissions.
