With its new China e-Auto Hub, business-to-business network provider GXS aims to facilitate a level of supply-chain collaboration that has been missing from the automotive market in the world's most-populous country, according to company officials. The China e-Auto Hub offers all the organizations in the automotive supply chain -- manufacturers, suppliers, dealers, after-market retailers -- a means to exchange electronic information relating to such things as product design, production planning, and materials procurement. For larger companies, the hub is designed to connect directly into whichever ERP system they are running; smaller companies can access it through a Web portal. The exchange is exclusive to data communication by companies within China's borders. For international interaction, GXS (Gaithersburg, MD) directs customers to its Trading GridSM global B2B system.
