Centralized platform for intercompany
IMDS, CAMDS & PCF requests.

Standardization and automation of data exchange within the company, increasing the efficiency of collaboration between teams and locations.

Vision

Request Center is an advanced web platform designed for the automotive industry that standardizes Material & Environmental Compliance processes within the enterprise. The system supports the submission and handling of requests for material data preparation in IMDS and CAMDS, as well as the execution of product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations.

Thanks to Request Center, Quality Engineers, SQA, and PPAP Coordinators gain a structured tool for commissioning work in IMDS, CAMDS, and PCF calculations, eliminating email chaos and inconsistent Excel sheets.

Standardization and Time

In the automotive sector, the key factors are: time, data completeness, and full traceability. Request Center organizes the flow of information within the company, providing:

• Standardized process: No more unnecessary communication and hundreds of emails. The system ensures a single submission standard, enforcing data consistency across the entire organization.
• Data verification: The system monitors information completeness right at the form-filling stage, eliminating the submission of incorrect or empty requests.
• Real-time preview: Every request is assigned a number, status, and coordinator, allowing for a quick overview of work progress.
• Elimination of “Double Work”: The system provides access to archived requests, which prevents duplication of work and speeds up communication.

Result:

• Faster acquisition of necessary data, leading to the acceleration of PPAP documentation and full control over request status without the need to send reminders.
• The team responsible for Material Compliance can focus on analyzing and preparing data instead of wasting time filling in information gaps.

Main Values

For Applicants:
(Quality Engineers, SQA, PPAP Coordinators)

• Intuitive forms: Quick creation of requests with critical field validation.
• Automation: The “My Defaults” function and intelligent data auto-completion drastically reduce form-filling time.
• Status Tracking: Real-time progress monitoring along with change history.
• Prioritization: Ability to indicate a specific PPAP date, which accelerates timely project completion.

For Specialists:
(IMDS / CAMDS / PCF Coordinators)

• Central Dashboard: A view of all submissions in one place, facilitating task queue management.
• Resource Management: Efficient assignment of responsible persons and the ability to take over requests in urgent situations.
• Quality Assurance: Receiving only complete input data ready for reporting in IMDS and CAMDS (Customer Part Number, Drawing Date, Change Level, AI/NAEL, DGL, Weight).

Integration and automation

Request Center not only manages requests but actively supports the technical process of data preparation:

• Compatibility with IMDS Generator: The system is fully integrated with material data processing tools.
• Automatic data transfer: Key information (recipient data, weights, descriptions, supplier codes, PCF results) is automatically transferred directly to IMDS and CAMDS systems.
• Error reduction: Eliminating manual data transcription shortens the time for report approval by the end customer.

Security and efficiency

• On-Premise Deployment (Docker): The system operates directly within the enterprise’s infrastructure. Thanks to this solution, Request Center fully adopts and respects your organization’s IT security policy.
• IATF 16949 Support: A full history of requests and data changes provides a ready audit trail during certification and customer audits.
• Analytics and Reporting: Dynamic tables and export to Excel/CSV enable team workload analysis.

Request Center standardizes the process, speeds up data preparation, and supports engineers in the dynamic automotive industry.
