Understanding the key roles in Catena-X and choosing the right one will ensure smooth registration and onboarding for your business.

Catena-X set out with big goals - and faced hurdles and criticism alongside its first milestones. CEO Oliver Ganser talks about the status quo, celebrating successes and debunking myths surrounding the data room.

Do you need to join Catena-X but you’re unsure how to get started? Cofinity-X explains the process and the benefits in simple terms.

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.

To meet the need for standardised sustainability practices, WITTE Automotive has implemented advanced solutions with SAP and can calculate its PCF according to the Catena-X framework.

The automotive industry is under pressure. Manufacturers and suppliers alike are facing challenges due to increasing sustainability requirements and political uncertainties. One key solution is the standardised exchange of data along the value chain.

It’s often pitched as an exciting concept, but decentralised data-exchange is now a reality for companies in the automotive value-chain. In our latest webinar, Cofinity-X invited Ford and Flex to conduct a live demonstration of how the process works for the exchange of Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data via Catena-X.

In this exclusive interview, Katharina Zipse, Managing Director of CatX and member of the Catena-X DCM Expert Group, shares how the MIRA Booster Program is helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) join the Catena-X dataspace with minimal risk and maximum impact.
