The automotive industry is undergoing rapid digitalisation and relies on standardised data exchange between partners. Established EDI communication is now being gradually complemented by Catena-X – an open ecosystem that connects supply chains and enables secure, sovereign, and efficient data sharing. Aimtec offers the Catena-X Connector as a Service (a part of Aimtec Integration Platform), which allows you to join this ecosystem quickly, securely, and without unnecessary burden on your internal team.

If you are already using Aimtec EDI as a Service, activation is simple: just contact us, and we will set up the new connector so you can meet your customers’ requirements.

Supported roles of the connector

• Data Provider – responds to data requests from partners and shares data according to agreed policies and contracts.
