Volvo Group works with a diverse network of suppliers to deliver high-quality products and services.
These suppliers include:

 

  • Component Suppliers: Provide essential parts for trucks, buses, construction equipment and marine engines.
  • Raw Material Suppliers: Supply materials like steel, aluminum and plastics used in manufacturing.

Volvo Group views their suppliers as partners, fostering collaboration to drive growth, profitability and continuous improvements.


This partnership approach helps achieve cost savings, meet environmental targets and develop innovative technologies.


To provide an efficient and secure supply chain data exchange with the Suppliers, Volvo Group uses two formats of EDI: EDIFACT and WEBEDI.

EDIFACT

A standard electronic messaging format for efficient and automated exchange of business documents between systems, widely used in global supply chains. It ensures secure, real-time communication for
transactions like orders, invoices, and shipments.

WEBEDI

A web-based application in the Volvo Group Supplier portal, allowing suppliers to exchange business documents with Volvo Group through an
easy-to-use online interface.

 

 

 

 

 

By integrating Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) with suppliers, Volvo Group can enhance operations through improved productivity, better data management, and enhanced customer service.


This aligns with Volvo Group's and its suppliers' mutual goals of driving innovation and promoting sustainability.
