Based on available S&P Global mobility/IHS market data you will find detailed information about vehicles, engines, transmission and more. The module offers you different views and content pages:

  • Production Forecast

  • Vehicle & Powertrain

  • SOP/EOP Countdown

  • Map Service

  • Carline Lifecycle

Project modules - Menu items

Menu - Strategy, Acquisition and Booked

All projects are listed in lifecycle based Project Pool (Strategy, Acquisition, Booked), which can be accessed by clicking Strategy or Booked menu: ALL Projects.

MY Projects: Just list projects where you are owner (Sales responsible).

Both options will open the Project Pool, which is showing grouped cards by customer and selected IHS data or project business.

Project Pool design and layout is identical for all users and lifecycle phases.

If you want to list all projects independent from lifecycle phase, reset filters

Filters in Pool (also in Reports): Use filters to reduce content to selected criteria (e.g. by customer, brand if linked to market, plant, product,...)

New strategic, acquisition or booked project - Create new project with preselected lifecycle phase. Select customer, product and link to IHS data.

Well, that's it for the beginning. You can now start to explore DA by yourself or directly use the following guide to create a new project.

If you have questions please contact your local KeyUsers or me for additional support.

Thanks for your attention.

We wish you a good start with Digital Automotive
