Automotive Industry
If SAP keeps your supply chain, quality processes and production lines moving, then your authorisations, licenses and compliance controls need to hold up under pressure. When they drift, operations slow, audits escalate and small issues turn into production risk.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGE
Get Your SAP Solution on the Road.
Automotive carries a different set of expectations. Emissions regulations. Traceability laws. Process certifications. Security hardening. Everything needs to sit cleanly inside SAP without slowing production or blowing through license budgets.
The cracks show fast when:
• Roles are outdated or too broad
• SoD rules vary across plants or markets
• License types aren’t based on real usage
• Compliance reports require IT to drop everything
This isn’t unusual. We see these patterns across Nordic and global automotive brands.
We also know how to fix them.

SERVICES THAT FIT THE INDUSTRY
Why Automotive Companies Rely on 1DigitalTrust
SYSTEM UNIFICATION
Governance Across Every Region and Rollout
SAP authorisations, controls and licensing become consistent across the whole group, even in post-M&A environments. Access is predictable, data is harmonised and everyone finally works from the same playbook.
COMPLIANCE
Control ESG, EHS and Audit Pressure
License types are assigned based on actual behaviour, not assumptions. Cost drops when access matches what people truly use, and unused roles disappear from the landscape.
LICENSING
Secure and Lean Access Without Overpaying
Roles reflect real duties, SoD stays enforced and license overspend disappears. Inactive users, over-licensed roles and uncontrolled access get cleaned up. Mining clients regularly see 20 to 40 percent savings, even in validated systems.

“The new SAP authorization design has made a significant difference for us. Responding to audits is now much easier, roles are simpler to set up and maintain, and the overall authorization model is far cleaner and less complicated. As an added benefit, the improved transparency also helps us stay in better control of SAP license compliance.”
