Sumitomo Rubber do Brasil (SRB), one of the leading tire manufacturers in the country and responsible for the Dunlop, Falken and Sumitomo brands, has been consolidating its role as an innovator in the automotive sector. With a factory located in Fazenda Rio Grande (PR), SRB stands out not only for the quality of its products, but also for adopting advanced technologies in its production and logistics processes. One example of this is the implementation of the EDI platform SWPaaS, from Sawluz, which has transformed the way the company manages its logistics and the agility of its service to automakers.
Diego Cunha, SRB’s logistics supervisor, highlighted the many benefits brought by the adoption of SWPaaS. “One of the main benefits was the increased reliability in service to automakers. The agility and accuracy of information improves our logistics planning and reinforces our commitment to being a reliable company. The platform is essential in this process.“, says Diego.
In addition to providing security and reliability, SWPaaS offers SRB a series of features that facilitate supply chain management. The platform, which handles hundreds of electronic invoices per month at Sumitomo, allows access to information in real time and dynamically, which is essential for quickly locating specific data, a clear difference compared to the traditional use of EDI.
SWPaaS and the construction of the production forecast
The adoption of SWPaaS also brings significant improvements to SRB’s billing, inventory management and production processes.”We consider the information sent by the assemblers to build the production forecast. Sending and confirming this information is essential in our processes, as it is the basis for serving these customers.“, completes Diego.
The long-standing partnership between Sumitomo Rubber Brasil and Sawluz is an example of success built on solid foundations of trust and efficient support.”We believe that reliability is the basis of our processes and we know that we can count on Sawluz for this. That is why we have evolved from traditional EDI and adopted SWPaaS to advance our digitalization and innovation processes. The agility in service and daily support are differentiators in our relationship to serve automakers.“, highlights the supervisor.
New generation of EDI
EDI, or Electronic Data Interchange, is a system that allows companies to exchange standardized business documents electronically. By replacing paper-based processes, EDI minimizes errors and increases the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of business operations.
“Sawluz's SWPaaS EDI platform represents a breakthrough in this segment of the IT market, because it guarantees integrated and real-time management of transacted data, hosted in the cloud, essential for companies that require high logistics and supply performance, such as Sumitomo.”, highlights Werter Padilha, CEO of Sawluz.
SWPaaS is an EDI platform that presents itself as a scalable and up-to-date solution for the most diverse needs of the global market, supported by the secure AWS cloud infrastructure. Its exclusive features include supply chain management through WEB EDI, alert systems (notifications) and a multilingual portal (Portuguese, Spanish and English) for monitoring and tracking file exchanges with customers and suppliers spread across different regions of the planet.
With this commercial partnership with Sawluz, Sumitomo Rubber Brasil reinforces its commitment to being at the forefront of technology in the automotive sector, reaffirming its practices aligned with excellence and innovation, pillars that underpin its operation and position it as an example to be followed in the global market.
