The automotive & aerospace challenge

Your customers need traceability and quality data your ERP already has — but they cannot reach it

In automotive and aerospace supply, the demands on your quality and account management team are relentless. When customers cannot see their own data, every quality engineer becomes a human API.

  • Full genealogy traceability: customers in safety-critical supply chains need batch, lot and serial-level traceability retrieved and evidenced quickly, sometimes years after the original build.
  • Quality documentation on demand: material certificates, certificates of conformance, FAI reports and PPAP documentation are requested constantly, often against a tight customer audit deadline.
  • JIT delivery precision: just-in-time supply relationships mean customers need exact delivery windows and status per line item, not a general despatch date.
  • Engineering change visibility: customers want to see which revision or engineering change notice applies to a given delivery without emailing your engineering team.

The result is a customer-facing team that acts more like an information helpline than a revenue engine. Meanwhile, competitors who offer self-service portals capture a growing share of buyers who expect 24/7 access to their account.

How a customer portal helps

Automotive & aerospace-specific features that reduce calls and support compliance

A Sysgraft customer portal surfaces the data your ERP already holds through a clean, branded interface your customers can access 24/7 on any device.

Full genealogy traceability

Customers trace a delivered part back through batch, lot and serial records — the same data your quality team uses internally, exposed securely at account level.

Quality documentation access

Certificates of conformance, material certificates, FAI reports and PPAP documentation are available for download directly from the portal.

JIT delivery schedule by line

Customers see exact delivery windows and status per order line, pulled live from your ERP’s production and despatch data.

Engineering change tracking

Customers see which drawing revision or engineering change notice applies to their delivered parts, without contacting engineering.

Stock and WIP visibility

Authorised customers see stock and work-in-progress status relevant to their orders, supporting supply chain planning conversations.

Order history and reordering

Customers browse complete order history with line-level detail and reorder against approved specifications where your ERP API supports write-back.

Invoice and statement download

Download invoices, credit notes and monthly statements as PDF, with full payment history and outstanding balance visibility.

Account management

View credit limit, current balance, payment terms and account statements without contacting your support team.

Architecture

How the portal connects to your automotive or aerospace ERP

No middleware, no data migration, no forklift upgrade. The portal reads and writes data through your ERP’s native REST or OData API, sitting as a thin layer on top of the system you already run.

All data is scoped per customer account at the API layer. No customer ever sees another customer’s data.

ERP platforms

Automotive & aerospace ERPs we connect to

Sysgraft builds customer portals over the ERP systems UK automotive and aerospace suppliers already run. Here are the platforms we work with most often.

ERP System Integration Method API Type
Dynamics 365 Business Central REST API — standard v2.0 OData endpoints with OAuth 2.0 REST / OData
Sage 200 Sage 200 API via OData — native read/write for sales, stock and accounts OData / REST
OrderWise OrderWise Partner API — authenticated, role-scoped data access REST API
SAP Business One Service Layer API — SL/SDI endpoints with standard authorisation REST / OData
SYSPRO SYSPRO RESTful Web API — company-scoped, token-authenticated REST API
Epicor Kinetic Epicor Ice REST API — BAQ-based data access with OAuth REST API
Infor CloudSuite / M3 Infor ION API — event-driven, standards-based integration layer REST / SOAP
IFS IFS Connect REST API — OData-based with OAuth 2.0 REST / OData

We also connect to Sage 50, Kerridge K8, NetSuite, Acumatica, Priority ERP, Brightpearl, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Access Dimensions and Intact iQ. The discovery sprint validates your ERP API live before any build price is issued.

Benefits

What an automotive & aerospace customer portal delivers

Precision manufacturers who deploy a self-service portal see measurable improvements across the business, from quality administration to account management.

-40%

Fewer inbound quality-document calls

Customers self-serve certificates, FAI reports and traceability data instead of calling your quality team.

-30%

Faster audit response

Genealogy and compliance documentation is available on demand rather than requiring a manual retrieval for every customer audit.

+15%

Faster payment

Invoices and statements are available on demand, reducing the “I never received the invoice” delay.

24/7

Around-the-clock access

Customers check delivery status, stock and documents outside office hours — evenings, weekends and bank holidays included.

Competitive advantage

A branded self-service portal differentiates you from suppliers who still rely on phone and email for quality and delivery queries.

ERP data unlocked

The portal surfaces data your ERP already holds, extending its value to your customers without replacing, upgrading or migrating the core system.

Illustrative example

A composite walkthrough of what a customer portal typically delivers for a distributor running OrderWise — reduced phone calls, faster order processing, and the 24/7 access customers were asking for. The pattern applies across industries.
