Automotive

The auto industry is one of the most challenging in the world. Regulation, global competition, high material costs, warranty issues and more all require that suppliers have accurate, complete and timely information to make decisions. The only way to compete and win is to truly understand your costs at a granular level.

The Most Comprehensive Automotive ERP Solution


Plexus Online handles an automotive supplier's business from front to back - from EDI/Release Accounting through Procurement, Production, Inventory, Shipping, Accounting, APQP, PPAP and much, much more.

Quality Management


With Plexus Online your Engineering, Manufacturing and Quality Management teams can all use the same data seamlessly.

Labeling/EDI


OEMs and others in the supply chain have some unique and specific labeling and EDI requirements. Plexus Online is modern and flexible. New requirements can be implemented in hours and days vs. months. We stay up to date on trading partner requirement so you don't have to.

Engineering Change Requests (ECRs)


Many suppliers are put out of business because they lose track of ECRs and cannot easily compute the impact of the change on their costs. Plexus Online provides the ability to track everything about ECRs so managers can see the status of each one and re-quote the part if necessary.

Warranty Costs


OEMs are spending billions of dollars on warranty claims. They are now pushing those costs back onto the suppliers. Often, a customer will want to isolate a huge amount of product when a failure is found. With Plexus Online, suppliers can pinpoint the failure or problem and quarantine only the affected parts, not several days' production.

Supplier Quality


Plexus Online supports the ability to manage supplier quality, including Supplier Status, Certification Level, Problem History, Quality Performance and more. Support for the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP), Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), and other industry standards for quality, supplier communications and interaction are built into the system as integral features. Additionally, Plexus Online's web interface means that suppliers can receive their own logon to access a "supplier quality portal", streamlining supplier communications and problem resolution
