Our Customer's Story: From One Challenge to a Long-Term Partnership

See how a leading OEM streamlined complexity with one trusted integration partner

Introduction:

Our client is a leading European automotive manufacturer with a strong focus on innovation, quality, and driving experience.

To maintain their position as a technological frontrunner, they aim to equip every vehicle with the latest features and comfort enhancements.

When standard solutions fall short, they turn to partners who can think along, adapt quickly, and deliver tailor-made solutions, and that’s where we come in.

Why did they need us?

Although the client has a strong network of suppliers, the rapid evolution of vehicle technologies and rising customer expectations continue to present new challenges. Not every model is factory-equipped with all desired features, but in order to deliver a complete and competitive vehicle offering, customization is essential.

Selecting, evaluating, and managing multiple suppliers for these additional systems proved to be both time-consuming and resource-intensive. The client therefore sought a reliable partner who could simplify this process and act as a single point of contact for complete, integrated solutions, starting with one specific project where they needed fast, flexible support.

They like a partner who could:

Collaborate proactively to develop integrated vehicle solutions;
Switch gears quickly and provide full technical support;
Serve as a one-stop-shop for multiple accessories and systems;
Not only deliver products but also manage the entire front-end process, from concept to fully deployable solution.

Their needs were clear:

One point of contact for a wide range of components and systems;
Full control over procurement and inventory without adding logistical burden;
Flexibility to quickly integrate new technologies and respond to market demands;
Solutions that seamlessly fit existing vehicle platforms;
Fast and reliable deliveries without compromising on quality.

Why did they choose us?

Our client initially approached us for a single project, one that required quick thinking, customization, and full support. After the successful delivery of that solution, more requests followed. Over time, the collaboration deepened and grew into a long-term partnership based on trust, performance, and shared ambitions.

They chose us because we go far beyond product delivery. From day one, we think along with their teams, develop customized solutions, and ensure that components can be added to their vehicles without any added hassle.

Extension of their development and procurement teams

With our broad expertise and flexible approach, we operate as an extension of their development and procurement teams. We manage the full product preparation cycle, including engineering, compatibility testing, quality control, and documentation. We also maintain inventory at strategic levels, so the client can collect products exactly when they need them. One contact person, one pickup location, keeping the process efficient and transparent.

What did we create?

What started as a single-project solution has evolved into a flexible platform. Today, we serve as the central supplier for a wide range of components and systems across multiple vehicle programs.

Integration of tailor-made systems ( including Qi wireless chargers, various lighting solutions, V2L adapters, infotainment modules and more) that can be easily installed in the vehicle;
Inventory management aligned with their production planning and call-off needs;
Support throughout all preparation phases, from prototype to full-scale production;
Delivery of pre-tested, ready-to-install kits that can be added to their offering immediately;
One point of contact for everything, technical, commercial, and logistical.

Key benefits and why the client chose this approach:

Increased agility: New functionalities can be added to existing models more quickly.

Reduced operational workload: Fewer suppliers, less communication, less coordination.

Consistent quality and delivery reliability: Thanks to our inventory strategy and pre-tested sets.

Faster time-to-market: Because the groundwork is done before the client even starts.

Together, we ensure our client can fully equip their vehicles, exactly as the market expects, and sometimes even more.
