Seamless digitalization from EDIFACT to API, powered by BIS and AI

SEEBURGER has supported the evolution of automotive integration for nearly 40 years from EDI pioneers to today’s hybrid, API-first architectures. BIS unifies all communication standards on a single, scalable platform from OFTP2 and AS2 to REST, JSON and beyond.

AI-assisted mapping and prebuilt industry templates accelerate onboarding and ensure data accuracy. Business users can manage integrations directly in BIS Hub, while IT stays in control of governance and system scalability.

Gain real-time traceability across your automotive supply chain

When disruptions, hit from chip shortages to transport delays, you need to know exactly where critical parts are. Without live tracking and access to transport metadata, production lines are at constant risk of delays or standstills. Traditional systems lack the real-time visibility to prevent this.

SEEBURGER BIS delivers seamless API integration between logistics providers, TMS systems and ERP enabling access to live GPS coordinates, license plate data and serial numbers. Standardized APIs ensure reliable data exchange across all tiers.

React instantly to disruptions with real-time shipment insights and proactive decision-making. With BIS, you monitor deliveries, verify serials and comply with VDA 4998, all from a single integration layer. This increases transparency, reduces manual tracking and safeguards your just-in-time production flows.

Resilient supply chains start with connected partners

Disconnected suppliers and logistics providers slow down production, increase error rates and make real-time coordination impossible. Manual onboarding, inconsistent messaging formats and missing visibility across tiers expose your operations to risk.

SEEBURGER empowers you to build resilient, fully connected automotive supply chains from Tier 1 to Tier X. Our BIS Platform integrates upstream suppliers, logistics partners and OEMs using secure EDI and API communication. Support for message types like IFTSTA, EDIFACT versioning and empties management is built in.

With the SEEBURGER Community Management Application (CMA), you accelerate partner onboarding at scale with automated data validation and minimal IT effort. Whether via EDI or blockchain, BIS provides the visibility and traceability your supply chain needs to stay agile, compliant and disruption-proof.

Protect sensitive automotive data with built-in security and compliance

OEMs and suppliers handle vast amounts of sensitive supply chain data. A single security breach, system outage or compliance gap can disrupt operations, expose confidential information and damage customer trust. Internal teams are often overwhelmed by the effort it takes to secure, monitor and maintain integration environments themselves.

SEEBURGER BIS offers certified, enterprise-grade protection including encrypted data storage, secure system access and automated failover architecture. Compliance with ISO 27001, ISAE 3402 and TISAX is built in from day one.

Reduce your risk exposure while offloading complexity. With BIS as your secure integration backbone, you ensure uninterrupted operations, safeguard OEM relationships and meet regulatory standards with confidence without draining internal resources.

Align smart manufacturing with smart integration

Automotive production is becoming smarter with machines delivering real-time data to ensure product quality, part traceability and delivery accuracy. But without seamless integration between OT and IT, this data remains locked in silos. Manual transfers and fragmented systems slow down decisions and limit visibility across your operations.

SEEBURGER BIS synchronizes your smart factory and supply chain in real time. It connects machines, MES, ERP and logistics systems using scalable integration via EAI/ESB and secure APIs. This ensures that production-critical data flows smoothly across all systems and stakeholders.

Gain full traceability of safety-critical parts, ensure compliance across your processes, and automate quality documentation from the shop floor to OEM delivery. With BIS, your Industry 4.0 initiatives become an integrated part of your digital supply chain.

Power your sustainability strategy with integrated data flows

Sustainability isn’t just a product attribute, it’s a data challenge. From tracking emissions and energy use to proving material origin and enabling circularity, automotive companies need transparency across their entire value chain. But fragmented systems and manual reporting block your path to net-zero.

SEEBURGER BIS connects your production, logistics and business systems to create a real-time data layer for sustainability. Through standardized connectors and APIs, you integrate carbon tracking, transport efficiency and digital product passport data directly into your operations.

Make sustainability measurable and actionable. From optimizing empty runs to complying with CSRD and EU taxonomy, BIS enables the continuous data exchange required to meet environmental targets and build responsible, future-ready supply chains.
