Sector
Automotive

As automotive manufacturers move toward software-defined vehicles, new delivery models are emerging — including outsourced engineering and manufacturing combined with complex partner ecosystems. These models demand far stronger digital integration, architectural clarity, and operational alignment than traditional approaches.

Volvo Cars brought Routa Digital in to stabilise one of its most complex EV programmes, built with multiple partners under a new outsourced engineering and manufacturing model. We introduced a clear, data-driven integration framework and repeatable processes that aligned engineering, manufacturing, and IT across organisational boundaries.

At the new Slovakia factory, this work scaled further. We mapped more than 100 applications, finalised the critical architectural decisions, and produced scenario-based blueprints that defined Volvo’s first scalable “ideal plant” — creating a foundation for consistent digital factory development going forward.

What we delivered
  • A data-driven integration framework for a multi-partner EV programme
  • Repeatable processes aligning engineering, manufacturing, and IT
  • Enterprise-scale architecture models across applications and integrations
  • Scenario-based blueprints for the “ideal plant” concept
Impact
  • Stabilised delivery in a highly complex EV programme
  • Clear architectural decision-making at factory scale
  • Improved alignment across partners and internal teams
  • A scalable digital foundation for future plants and programmes
