Case Study: Faiveley Transport digitalizes rail supply chain processes with SupplyOn

Digitalization of the rail supply chain with SupplyOn: Faiveley Transport benefits from the network effect

Faiveley Transport, a provider of air-conditioning, brake, and door systems for the railway industry, faced the challenge of inefficient and error-prone order processes with its suppliers, which were handled through conventional methods like fax and email. To digitalize its supply chain, the company turned to the vendor SupplyOn to implement its online platform for managing supplier interactions.

The solution implemented by SupplyOn involved connecting Faiveley Transport's key suppliers to a central platform for orders, order confirmations, forecasts, and advance shipping notifications, with plans to add electronic invoicing. This created a network effect by using the same platform as its major customers. The results included increased efficiency, more transparent processes, improved collaboration with business partners, and higher customer satisfaction. Faiveley Transport is now rolling out SupplyOn globally across its entire group.
