Overview
CT Automotive is a global automotive parts manufacturing group headquartered in the UK. With core manufacturing facilities in China supplying global OEMs, the enterprise needed to resolve severe system fragmentation to achieve unified, globalized operational synergy.
The Challenge
Fragmented IT architecture prevented the manufacturer from achieving the global operational visibility required by executive leadership.
- Data Silos: SRM, MES, and PLM systems operated independently without a unified data foundation, severely obstructing supply chain collaboration.
- High Manual Risk: Key business data required repetitive manual entry across different systems, causing inevitable data deviations and scheduling errors.
- Refined Management Bottlenecks: A disconnected architecture fundamentally obstructed the multi-factory, multi-regional operational synergy demanded by the group.
Solution & Implementation
The manufacturer partnered with Tectura to deploy Dynamics 365 Business Central as its unified global data hub.
- Developing robust interfaces to fully integrate the core ERP with existing peripheral SRM, MES, and PLM systems.
- Utilizing flexible subscription models to tailor system functions specifically for various factory roles, optimizing overall usage costs.
- Deploying multi-language and multi-currency configurations to support both localized operations and global management.
Results & Impact
CT Automotive utilized Business Central to completely restructure its global manufacturing digital footprint. By unifying multiple factories and disparate systems, we achieved seamless operational synergy that supports both global standards and local manufacturing scenarios.
For international manufacturers, disparate systems are the enemy of efficiency. See how a centralized ERP architecture seamlessly connects peripheral manufacturing systems into a unified intelligence platform.
