Protect Margins While Delivering Innovation

Recent industry studies show that the **average global automotive supplier profit margin has dropped to about 4.7%, reflecting continued cost pressures and limited pricing power with OEMs.

Software and electronics content is rapidly expanding: software is expected to grow to represent about 30 % of overall vehicle value by 2030, up from roughly 10 % in prior years.

Poor quality can account for 10%–15% of a supplier’s total sales in combined costs from scrap, rework, warranty claims, chargebacks, and quality administration.

Designed for automotive software development, Codebeamer® ensures compliance, traceability, and agile delivery to reduce risk. AI-driven solutions for intelligent requirements authoring and validation improve productivity and quality.

Windchill® helps automakers build a unified product data backbone that connects engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers. This improves collaboration, change control, and decision-making across complex vehicle programs.

With PTC's integrated Codebeamer® + Windchill®, a unified digital thread aligns mechanical, electrical, and software domains. This enables early validation, strategic reuse, complexity management, and better coordination between OEMs and suppliers – driving innovation and costs savings.

Creo® streamlines product development and improves quality and manufacturability. Design intent is easily communicated, associativity ensures accuracy, and changes propagate automatically. This reduces tooling costs and late-stage changes.
