Automotive Supplier

The automotive industry is transforming at high speed—driven by electrification, connected vehicles, supply chain disruptions, and rising customer expectations. For suppliers, staying competitive means more than delivering quality parts—it requires real-time visibility, efficiency, and innovation across the entire value chain.
At GETR, we help automotive suppliers harness SAP solutions to streamline production, logistics, procurement, and compliance. From just-in-time (JIT) and just-in-sequence (JIS) deliveries to full OEM integration, we enable suppliers to reduce costs, strengthen collaboration, and meet industry standards with confidence.

Automotive Supplier Challenges – A Tough Road ahead for Automotive Tier 1 & Tier 2 Suppliers

Automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers are navigating one of the most challenging environments in decades. They face:

Intense competition with thin margins

Volatile OEM demand with frequent, last-minute plan changes

Rising costs for raw materials, labor, and capital

High debt burdens amplified by rising interest rates

Semiconductor shortages disrupting production

Massive EV investments required to stay relevant

Operational inefficiencies from complex, global supply chains

These pressures strain profitability, disrupt OEM–supplier relationships, and make long-term planning increasingly difficult.
