Kinaxis Achieves Catena-X Certification, Cementing Leadership Footprint in Automotive Value Chain

Organizing certificates is time-consuming and not always accurate. Solutions from Cofinity-X streamline and enhance certificate management.

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.

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.

Catena-X, the Government of British Columbia, and the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) are testing interoperability with the UN Transparency Protocol. The pilot demonstrates how sovereign, cross-border data exchange can work, linking mining, electronics, and automotive supply chains. A scalable model for global digital trust and regulatory-ready ecosystems.

Cofinity-X, an operating company and central joint venture in the automotive industry, and Volkswagen Group Info Services AG (VW GIS AG), the central contact and contractual partner for cross-brand data products from the Volkswagen Group, announce the successful implementation of the Business Partner Data Management (BPDM) use case within the Catena-X network, together with Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche. Catena-X is a network developed for the automotive industry that establishes a standardized, secure, and scalable data ecosystem. It enables comprehensive data exchange across the entire value chain, improving transparency and efficiency while optimizing processes in the automotive sector.

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.

Dataspace connectors enable collaborative use cases in Catena-X, like traceability or quality management across the automotive value chain.

The automotive industry is undergoing a digital transformation, with data management playing a central role. Data sovereignty, or maintaining control over one’s own data, is a key factor in this process. In this context, Cofinity-X is emerging as a key enabler, driving a new era of data sovereignty for automotive companies.
