Case Study: Chinese Automobile Manufacturing Company achieves order-driven manufacturing and real-time order visibility with Software AG (webMethods)

Chinese Automobile Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A major Chinese automobile joint venture with nearly 2 million cars of annual capacity needed to modernize its sales, logistics and after‑sales operations. The company faced fragmented, untimely distributor data and an aging Distributor Management System made up of 744 modules, which undermined sales forecasting, manufacturing logistics and the ability to centralize information to meet growing customer expectations.

The company implemented Software AG’s Digital Business Platform—using webMethods for application integration and Universal Messaging—to tie the new DMS into ERP, MES, CRM, websites, call centers, inventory and billing systems. The integrated solution simplified distributor operations, delivered real‑time data visibility, sped DMS development, enabled order‑driven, build‑to‑order production and improved tracking and analytics of business‑critical data.
