Our client struggled with multiple process-related hindrances, such as latency in their NPD processes, poor end-to-end project and product data integration, and system-wide data redundancy and duplication. The ensuing lack of data consistency and accuracy further resulted in operational redundancies, loss of productivity, and slower go-to-market rates.

Automotive manufacturers encounter bottlenecks in their NPD processes due to poor product data integration, configuration management, visibility, and fragmented data. This hinders organizations from achieving optimal product quality across conceptualization, validation, and design for manufacturability.
Today, on-demand engineering product data must be available throughout the product lifecycle for a unified view. Without this, automotive manufacturers can be prone to redundancy and data duplication in multiple systems, thereby leading to multiple feedback loops and slower GTM. It takes data centralization to eliminate these silos and enable transparency.
We enabled our client to implement an advanced tech stack to support their NPD process and harmonize their PPM, PLM, and CAD systems to elevate operational efficiency and ensure accurate synchronization across multiple systems. This translated to improved prototyping and designing to meet global certification standards, reduced costs, and higher profitability through the product lifecycle.
In the implementation of a customised PLM system, our central focus was on creating an advanced and intelligent platform with comprehensive capabilities that could meet the needs of a connected, sustainable future. Bosch SDS proposed a unified digital engineering approach that would not just elevate processes but also create a comprehensive future-ready ecosystem that will roll out innovative products that would last long in the market. For this, we leveraged SAP-PLM V7 (WUI), Guided Structure Synchronization (GSS), SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP Engineering Control Center (ECTR), which together helped us achieve the following:
Through our strategic initiatives, we helped the client optimize operational workflows and bolster their competitive edge in delivering timely and precise solutions to their customers.
Drastically reduced RFQ to technical proposal design and product costing time
Accelerated GTM timeline for new products
Higher accuracy in cost and design proposals
25% improvement in associate productivity through standardization, design automation, and integrated databases
Unified data across manufacturing facilities
Our legacy in pioneering product innovation processes for ourselves and many global clients helps us maintain a high quality standard in consulting and delivery of our services. By deploying the right experts in each stage of the implementation and our always-ready flexible delivery models, we were able to enhance our client success beyond the original objectives in many parameters.
