Case Study: Nexteer Automotive achieves visibility across 1,400 suppliers and streamlined supplier management with Intelex

Tier 1 Automotive Supplier Tracks Performance of 1,400 Suppliers Worldwide with Intelex Supplier Management

Nexteer Automotive, a century-old Tier 1 supplier with more than 10,000 employees and 20 plants across seven countries, needed a more flexible, scalable way to manage roughly 1,400 suppliers worldwide. Their incumbent supplier-management system was inflexible, required vendor-led configuration, lacked robust reporting, and was approaching contract renewal—forcing Nexteer to find a time- and cost-effective replacement on a tight implementation timeline.

Nexteer selected Intelex Supplier Management and rolled it out to all 20 plants across seven countries by January 1, 2013. The new platform enabled self-configuration, centralized supplier data, eliminated duplicate entry, improved visibility into supplier performance and corrective actions, and streamlined compliance with C-TPAT, APQP and TS 16949—delivering measurable time and cost savings and earning Nexteer a global implementation award.
