Transform Complexity into Automotive Impact Intelligence
The automotive industry faces not only complex compliance requirements – from IMDS to REACH, RoHS, ELV/RRR, and emerging Digital Product Passports – but also rising sustainability demands such as Product Carbon Footprints. What once was voluntary reporting is rapidly becoming mandatory, while regulatory and sustainability data increasingly converge across global supply chains.
Impact Intelligence addresses these challenges by eliminating manual IMDS submission bottlenecks, automating validation against regulatory requirements, and unifying supplier data management from compliance reporting to PCF and LCA calculation.
Transform scattered automotive compliance and sustainability processes into competitive advantage – with Impact Intelligence built for the complexities of modern supply chains.
What Challenges Are Automotive Companies Facing?
IMDS Data Collection Complexity
Gathering and validating material data from thousands of suppliers with varying IMDS capabilities and data quality standards. Incomplete submissions create bottlenecks that delay product launches and regulatory approvals.
Sustainability Data Requirements
Meeting OEM demands for Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculations and Scope 3 reporting without comprehensive material data. ESG requirements now extend beyond compliance to environmental impact measurement.
Fragmented Global Regulatory Landscape
Navigating different requirements across regions – from REACH and RoHS in Europe to GADSL and TSCA in North America. Each market demands unique reporting formats, timelines, and substance restrictions.
Compliance Risk Exposure
Facing potential production stops, costly penalties, or market access restrictions due to non-compliance with ELV/RRR, substance bans, or emerging regulations. Risk increases with complex supply chains and rapid regulatory evolution.
Manual Process Inefficiencies
Engineering teams are overwhelmed by Excel-based workflows that lead to errors, delays, and compliance risks. Manual data consolidation consumes resources that should focus on innovation and product development.
System Integration Gaps
Comprehensive material information scattered across IMDS, ERP, and PLM systems with no unified data management. Multiple disconnected tools create data silos that prevent holistic compliance oversight and effective strategic decision-making.
