Final quotation premises are documented in the system: Basis for project handover and subsequent claims
All offer premises (quantities, material indexation clauses, LTAs, quicksavings, etc.) are documented in the system. It is crucial for the later claiming to know the original contract, even if the contract was concluded many years ago and the responsible employees have left the company.
What is special about Digital Automotive: The contract bases from the acquisition are recorded in the database and deviations are automatically detected by the system.
These functions make it possible:
- Automotive-proven workflow, in which the premises are queried and anchored
