Bridging the traceability gap
Discover Trace-X, the solution by Cofinity-X to support quality managers in the automotive value chain.
Disconnected data
Today, traceability in the automotive value chain is often limited by fragmented systems, inconsistent
data formats and a lack of real-time visibility across multiple tiers. These gaps make it difficult to
track parts or materials efficiently, especially during disruptions or recalls. Manual processes and
limited data access slow down response times and create uncertainty. The Catena-X dataspace
introduces a new approach that addresses these challenges – by enabling secure, standardized data
exchange at scale. The Cofinity-X solution for this is Trace-X.
Targeted transparency
Traceability via the Catena-X dataspace can effectively reduce the fallout of recalls, enabling manufacturers and suppliers to track every part throughout its lifecycle.

Traceability that goes the extra mile for you
Using a traceability app on Catena-X, like Trace-X, can deliver a multitude of features (all of the below are included in Trace-X)
Full lifecycle tracking
Each batch gets a unique digital identity, enabling tracking from raw material to finished vehicle through digital twin technology.
Optimized recall management
Manufacturers recall only the vehicles with critical parts, reducing recall costs and scale.
One-up, one-down traceability model
Each participant only needs to know their direct supplier and customer, ensuring traceability without requiring full supply chain transparency.
Data sovereignty and security
Built on the Catena-X framework, each company controls which data are shared, with whom and under which terms, without exposing sensitive business information.
Regulatory compliance
Suppliers and OEMs more easily meet increasing regulatory demands thanks to transparent, verifiable product histories.
Standardized communication
Tools like Trace-X automate and streamline communication when faults are detected, reducing delays and human error.
Scalable and easy to implement
Designed to integrate quickly with existing IT systems, the benefits of traceability apps are accessible to suppliers and OEMs of all sizes.

How to get started?
Cofinity-X provides you with access to Catena-X and its DCM solutions in a few straightforward steps.
Register your

We will prepare your account and ask you to confirm your company details, such as VAT-ID and address. A clearing house will validate the data before generating a unique Business Partner Number (BPN), essential for all activities within the data space. We will notify you by email when the process is complete.
Prepare your
company for
data exchange
Before you can exchange data within the ecosystem, you need to set up your technical environment. Whether you build or buy, one thing is crucial:
- an Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) connector.
