The pressure on auto-component suppliers is structural, not cyclical.
OEM schedules are tightening. EV transition is reshuffling bills of materials. Supply chain visibility that used to be a competitive advantage is now a baseline expectation, and most manufacturers are still running ERP systems that were never designed for this environment.
CoreXcel™ is Techwave’s SAP Qualified Partner-Packaged Solution, built specifically for auto-component manufacturers and certified by SAP on S/4HANA Cloud. It does not require years to deploy or a blank-sheet implementation. It brings preconfigured automotive best practices, OEM-ready processes, and SAP Business AI via Joule, in a solution that goes live in weeks.
The gap between intelligent & autonomous is closing.
SAP’s Autonomous Enterprise vision where AI-enabled ERP anticipates, decides, and executes without manual intervention is not a ten-year roadmap. It is the direction every release of SAP S/4HANA Cloud is moving toward.
CoreXcel is built on that foundation. Manufacturers who adopt it now are not just solving today’s operational problems. They are positioning for the next era of operations.
If you are evaluating SAP Cloud ERP, mid-migration, or asking whether your current ERP landscape will support the next five years of your business, this is the right room.
