Integrated and Centralized Solutions for Manufacturers and Suppliers
A single platform that sends and receives the kinds of messages exchanged in the automotive supply chain using OFTP2, AS2 and other protocols.
Automate and Standardize the Entire Automotive Supply Chain Process
The automotive industry thrives on precision, efficiency, and seamless coordination across its complex supply chains. The implementation of work systems such as Just In Time requires systems that allow for the rapid integration of all companies on the supply chain with widely disparate technological capabilities.
Auto manufacturers need suppliers who can meet the demanding requirements imposed by Just in Time and guarantee the arrival of components, while TIER 1 suppliers that deliver critical components to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) must meet the high standards demanded from manufacturers.
EDI revolutionizes how automotive companies manage their operations, communicate with suppliers, and ensure timely deliveries.

Outbound Workflow
Delivery Forecast
Manufacturers use the DELFOR to notify suppliers of anticipated delivery schedules for products. The DELFOR message includes details such as quantities and delivery dates, helping suppliers plan production and inventory more effectively.
Delivery Just In Time
Manufacturers send the DELJIT to request the delivery of goods at specific times and in precise quantities to match production schedules closely. This approach minimizes inventory levels and ensures that parts arrive exactly when needed for manufacturing processes.
Self-invoice
The self-invoice is prepared and issued by the buyer based on agreed-upon terms and documentation provided by the supplier. Supplier can then download the invoice from the portal.
Inbound Workflow
Despatch Advice
The Shipping Notice message is used to verify whether the goods received by the customer match the purchase order. Suppliers can easily create the DESADV directly in the Supplier Portal by fulfilling a form. the document will then be sent automatically to the buyer.
Invoices
Invoices can also be generated by suppliers inside the Supplier Portal. The portal enables specific tools for generating invoices automatically from the purchase orders sent.

OFTP2 Connections through EDICOM's OFTP Server
OFTP was created by Odette, the European standardization organization for the automotive industry. It is one of the most widely used protocols by companies in the automotive sector.
The OFTP2 protocol is an evolution of OFTP1. The second version was designed primarily to guarantee secure data exchanges over the public Internet, where security is achieved through the use of security certificates. The OFTP2 protocol offers a series of benefits to companies that exchange confidential commercial information and large files, such as CAD files in the automotive industry.
