Klipboard’s Role in Automotive OEM Manufacturing ERP

At Klipboard, we understand that automotive OEM manufacturing in South Africa and across Africa requires ERP software that supports tight coordination across complex production environments and multi-tier supply chains. Our ERP solution is built to support the scale of OEM operations, demanding quality requirements, and efficiency pressures common to local and export-focused vehicle manufacturing.

By integrating production planning, supply chain coordination and quality management within a single ERP platform, Klipboard helps OEMs sustain production performance, meet quality expectations, and maintain end-to-end visibility across their supplier networks.

The challenges you face

Manufacturing Challenges

We Understand the Challenges You're Facing

You’re not just building vehicles; you’re coordinating thousands of components, managing complex production sequences, meeting stringent quality standards, and driving ongoing cost optimisation. We work with automotive OEMs and manufacturers supplying local and export markets, so we understand the operational realities you face:

  • Complex BOM and Configuration Management: Vehicles consist of thousands of parts and configuration combinations. Managing BOMs across variants, specifications, and model years requires structured, system-driven control.

  • Supply Chain Coordination: JIT and JIS manufacturing environments require precise coordination with large supplier networks, real-time visibility, and disciplined production scheduling.

  • Production Sequencing and Line Balance: Mixed-model assembly lines demand accurate sequencing. Balancing stations, managing constraints, and maintaining throughput is operationally complex.

  • Quality Management and Traceability: Automotive quality requirements demand consistent data capture. Recording inspections, managing non-conformances, and maintaining traceability requires integrated systems.

We've seen it, we've heard it - and we've built Klipboard Manufacturing to help you take control of it.
