15 years of innovation – digital process platform with substance and scalability<\/h1>\n<\/div>

BITS has been supporting a leading international commercial vehicle manufacturer since 2007 with a company-wide platform for managing prototypes, workshop processes and technical conversions in vehicle development. The application has been continuously developed since then and is now a central component in the customer’s development landscape – with over 5,000 active users worldwide. <\/p>\n

The aim was to create a scalable, secure and efficient solution with which complex processes such as the management of test carriers, the handling of conversion orders, the reporting of defects and the planning of workshop capacities could be mapped centrally. In addition, functions for analyzing control units, warehouse management and parts ordering were to be integrated. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Thanks to the expertise of BITS, a highly networked, robust and flexibly expandable system could be realized, which today also works together across locations and groups – for example with sister companies.<\/p>\n

In this project, BITS assumed responsibility for the complete technical support of the platform. Starting with the initial implementation, the team continuously developed the platform and ensured its maintenance and operation over the years. In addition, BITS was responsible for the creation of technical and IT concepts, the definition and implementation of interfaces and quality assurance. The development cycles were planned and managed in close coordination with the customer as part of agile processes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Challenge<\/h2>\n<\/div>

The development of the platform began with a customized new development – designed to efficiently support a complex and previously non-digitally mapped process world. The basis for an expandable application was already created in the first project phase. With the successful rollout and increasing use in everyday life, both the requirements and the complexity of the system continued to grow. <\/p>\n

Over the years, the original solution developed into a comprehensive platform with numerous functional modules, deep system integration and a growing user base. The aim was to integrate each new requirement in such a way that existing processes remained stable while at the same time creating room for innovation. This further development during ongoing operation – without any loss of functionality or performance – placed high demands on the architecture, quality assurance and project management. <\/p>\n

In addition, modern interface standards had to be introduced to enable group-wide data exchange with national and international partners. The platform needed to be able to communicate with different IT systems – both in on-premise environments and in the cloud. The necessary mix of synchronous and asynchronous communication required sophisticated event handling and a high degree of fault tolerance. <\/p>\n

At the same time, BITS took on a central role as a technology partner and consultant – from the selection of suitable solutions and interface design to the joint conception of new functions with the specialist departments. The challenge therefore lay not only in the technical implementation, but also in the continuous moderation and coordination of a complex, long-term change process. <\/p>\n<\/div>
