Driving quality together: how OEMs and suppliers transform quality management with Catena-X

2025 Whitepaper on Catena-X: collaborative transformation in the automotive industry.

Managing recalls in the automotive industry is often costly and a logistical nightmare. German car manufacturers alone set aside reserves of €1.4 to €1.8 billion per year for such cases. However, thanks to a collaboration between SAP and Catena-X, significant cost savings can be achieved, and the efficiency of recalls can be drastically improved or avoided.

The benefits of the Catena-X data ecosystem are becoming increasingly clear. Sven Lorenz explains how Volkswagen benefits from various use cases of the Cofinity-X operator platform.

Glassdome has officially received Catena-X certification for its Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) solution, becoming only the second company in the world to achieve this distinction.
