Koenigsegg, a Swedish low-volume supercar manufacturer, implemented CATIA PLM Express to unify mechanical design, BOM management, and product data. The solution replaced multiple disconnected systems and enabled fully 3D class-A surface design, real-time customer collaboration, and faster design iterations. The company also planned integration with ENOVIA SmarTeam for design-centric BOM control linked to ERP.

Key takeaways

Replaced multiple disconnected CAD and business systems with a single PLM platform

Enabled 100% 3D class-A surface design and direct machining from CAD models

Improved design quality and allowed real-time customer feedback on digital models

Increased engineer productivity and motivation through easier handling of complex designs

Established foundation for design-based BOM management integrated with ERP

Supplier and Third-Party Risk Software

This software monitors supplier financial health, screens for sanctions and forced labor exposure, and maps supply networks below tier one. Its value rests almost entirely on the quality of the data underneath it, which is the part buyers examine last. The interface is not the product; the data sources are.

Transportation Management Systems

A TMS decides and executes how freight moves. A visibility platform only observes movement already underway. A 3PL running managed transportation is an operating model, not a different kind of software. These three are routinely confused in the same evaluation, and the confusion is getting worse as vendors on each side move into the others' territory.

Supply Chain Visibility vs Traceability

Visibility tells you where something is now. Traceability tells you where a specific lot came from and where every unit of it went. They require different data, cost different amounts, and are triggered by different pressures: operations and customer service on one side, regulation and recall on the other.
