IT for Automotive
Detroit-native IT for suppliers moving parts through a JIT world. IATF 16949 ready, Tier-1 flowdown compatible, always shipping.
Talk to WizcomAutomotive Doesn't Tolerate Slow
IT for automotive suppliers means keeping OEM portals, EDI feeds, and shop-floor systems on the same rhythm as a Tier-1 JIT schedule: every advance-ship notice on time, every quality record retrievable, every change controlled. Wizcom builds IT to that operating cadence first, then adds the office side around it.
We have spent 40+ years supporting Michigan's automotive supply chain. We know the OEM portals, the EDI feeds, the change-control expectations from Ford, GM, Stellantis, and Toyota supplier organizations. We know what happens when a supplier can't ship on time.
Whether you're a small stamping shop or a multi-plant tier-one, the underlying job is the same: IT that treats every shipment as the commitment it is.
Quick Facts
What Does Wizcom Handle for Automotive Suppliers?
The specific IT work that keeps suppliers shipping on time and on spec.
JIT-Grade Uptime
Continuous monitoring of switches, controllers, and production applications. Failures caught before they cascade into a missed shipment.
EDI Feed Monitoring
Outbound and inbound EDI feeds to every customer, watched around the clock. When a feed goes dark, we know before your customer does.
OEM Portal Integration
Working knowledge of Ford supplier systems, GM SupplyPower, Stellantis PowerNet, Toyota supplier network, and the certificate management they require.
IATF Change Control
Documented change management that aligns with IATF 16949 requirements. When your quality auditor asks for evidence, it exists.
CAD / CAM Support
CATIA, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, license servers, vault infrastructure. We understand what breaks and why.
Supplier Cybersecurity
OEM security addenda are getting more prescriptive. We implement the controls your customers are already requiring.
Which Compliance Frameworks Apply to Automotive?
Automotive suppliers typically operate under some combination of these. We implement the technical controls that make each program work in practice.
IATF 16949
Automotive Quality Management
Quality standard with strict requirements around IT change control, audit trails, and configuration management. We build the foundation.
ISO 9001
Quality Management Baseline
The base quality standard. Same IT requirements as IATF but at a broader scope for non-automotive quality programs.
OEM Security Addenda
Customer-Specific Requirements
Ford, GM, Stellantis, and Toyota each have prescriptive security requirements for suppliers. We keep current with the flowdown language.
The EDI Outage That Wasn't Their Customer's Fault
A tier-two automotive stamping supplier lost outbound EDI to a Tier-1 during a high-volume week. Missed shipment notifications were piling up. Their previous MSP said it was on the customer's side and told them to open a ticket with the Tier-1.
When they called us, we traced the problem in 45 minutes to their own outbound firewall rule that had been changed for an unrelated project two weeks earlier. The rule was blocking the specific port range the EDI VPN needed. Twenty minutes of change work and the feed was back.
No missed shipments. No chargebacks. No fingers pointed at a customer for something that wasn't their fault.
That supplier moved to us the next quarter. Nine years and counting.
