Accelerate digital transformation for the Automotive

Industry-specific ERP for suppliers in a volatile chain
No-obligation Strategy Consultation

Automotive suppliers operate in a supply chain with fluctuating OEM demand, increasingly shorter product life cycles, and rising traceability requirements. Generic ERP systems require heavy customization to address this. Infor CloudSuite Automotive is built industry-specifically – with automotive processes built in rather than bolted on.

Your challenges

  • Volatile OEM forecasts. Continuously changing schedules, while line-side delivery reliability is non-negotiable.
  • Increasing product complexity. ICE, EV, and hybrid side by side, with more variants per vehicle model than ever before.
  • Strict OEM and regulatory requirements. EDI, line-side labelling, IATF 16949, and traceability down to the part level.
  • Margin erosion. Raw material prices fluctuate, OEMs demand annual price reductions.

Our industry-specific solution

With Infor CloudSuite Automotive, Xibis delivers an ERP platform in which automotive-specific processes are built in as standard:

  • Automotive EDI out of the box. Predefined messages, supplier portal, and real-time exchange of forecasts and ASNs.
  • Demand and multi-site planning. ATP/CTP, finite scheduling per site, plus Kanban and repetitive manufacturing for high volumes.
  • Traceability and quality management embedded. Serialization, lot tracking, PPAP, FMEA, and NCR – one source of truth for recalls and audits.
  • Engineering change accelerated. A digital thread from PLM to production, BOMs, and MES.
  • AI on the shop floor. Early defect detection and quality improvement via Infor GenAI and Velocity Suite.

Why Xibis

  • Industry-specific from day one. No years of customization to build automotive processes – they are already included.
  • Deep experience in the Benelux. We understand the reality of Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers.
  • One partner for the entire lifecycle. Strategy, implementation, optimization, and managed services under one roof.

Digitalization in Metal & Mechatronics: opportunities and challenges

Metal and mechatronics companies combine sheet metal and machining work, assembly and software. Customer-specific work and repeat series run on the same machines, while margins are under pressure and technical staff are scarce. Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific for this hybrid reality.

Control over complex and diverse processes

Combine a mix of complex processes (ETO, CTO, ATO, MTO) in one smart ERP platform. With Infor CloudSuite you gain control over mix-mode production through seamless integration with CPQ (for sales configurations) and PLM (for engineering data). This allows you to manage all core processes – from quote to delivery and service – fully data-driven and process-controlled.

Infor Cloudsuite

Configure quotes faster, smarter and error-free

Streamline the quoting process with Infor CPQ: flawlessly configure complex products with 2D and 3D visualizations and generate quotes including pricing and specifications at lightning speed. Everything directly integrated with your ERP, enabling you to accelerate sales, reduce costs and differentiate your brand with a unique customer experience.

Infor CPQ

Accelerate innovation with streamlined product lifecycle management

Infor PLM integrates design data with ERP and production processes, eliminating duplicate entry and centralizing version management. This gives you control over variants, BOMs, and changes at every stage of the product – from concept to delivery – and accelerates time-to-market with a single source of truth in data.
