Paradigm shift

Revolutionize the way you manage data with Cofinity-X

We believe in the value of sharing data across the value chain. That is why we follow a set of core principles:

Data sovereignty

Companies own their data at all times, ensuring that it remains under their control and protected from unauthorized access. This fosters trust and compliance while enabling efficient collaboration and data sharing.

Interoperability

Business applications from various providers can communicate and work together seamlessly.  This open approach breaks down silos, enabling smoother workflows and fostering innovation by allowing companies to use the best tools on the market without worrying about compatibility issues.

Mutually agreed standards

The Catena-X Association collaboratively defines standards to facilitate seamless data exchange across the automotive ecosystem. This open format allows participation from over 180 members, enabling organizations to contribute to and benefit from a consistent approach to data exchange.

Digital twins

Digital twins are essential components in the digitization of value chains. The digital twin provides detailed information about the characteristics of a vehicle or its individual components, while the behavioral twin offers predictions about processes and developments within the vehicle or its parts.

Catena-X offers us a high variety for required and future-oriented use cases. These help participating companies, for example, to secure material supplies, drive the digitalization of their production across company boundaries, or comply with social, climate protection and human rights standards throughout the entire value chain. With the new operating company, we now have the opportunity for the first time to offer cross-company digital solutions via an open and freely accessible marketplace. This gives us an important competitive advantage.

In Volkswagen Group’s New Auto strategy, digitalization plays a central role in making manufacturing more efficient and sustainable, improving our customer experience, and gearing our business model to the future. The prerequisite for this is connecting manufacturers, suppliers, and partners into a secure data ecosystem. Catena-X is the framework for such a collaborative, open platform along the entire value chain. With our joint venture Cofinity-X, we are now implementing this vision: with an open marketplace with applications and services that enable secure and standardized data exchange between all players. Cofinity-X customers can access applications and services to realize strategic use cases such as CO2 and ESG monitoring, component traceability, and circular economy. We want to make it easier for small and medium-sized companies in particular to participate in this data ecosystem on an equal footing. With this, we are taking the digitalization of the automotive industry to the next level.

Catena-X aims to provide greater resiliency and transparency to the automotive value chain, improving its quality and efficiency for all companies involved. This open and collaborative data ecosystem perfectly reflects SAP’s vision to enable every organization to become a network of intelligent, sustainable enterprises and gives the companies leveraging the Catena-X automotive network access to a broad portfolio of SAP solutions, from enabling the traceability of products across multiple parties in the supply chain to tracking and calculating the Scope 3 emissions. Cofinity-X marks another important milestone in this pioneering project, and one to which we are excited to contribute.
