Every Part. Every Program.
Every Dollar Protected.
Automotive margins run 3-7%. A single undetected BOM cost drift can eliminate an entire program's profitability. ProfitGuard monitors every part number, every supplier cost, and every warranty claim — in real time.
Automotive Profit Challenges We Solve
BOM Cost Explosion
$2.1B industry margin loss to BOM drift annuallyMulti-tier BOM structures with 30,000+ part numbers per vehicle. Raw material price volatility, supplier surcharges, and engineering change orders erode margins across the product lifecycle.
Supply Chain Disruption Cost
$5M+ per day production stoppage costSemiconductor shortages, logistics bottlenecks, and single-source dependencies create production stoppages that cost $5M+ per day at major OEMs.
Warranty & Recall Exposure
2-4% of revenue in warranty costsWarranty provisions averaging 2-4% of revenue. Root cause identification delays, supplier recovery gaps, and recall cost estimation inaccuracy drain profitability.
EV Transition Financial Risk
$35B+ industry-wide EV transition investmentICE-to-EV transition requires massive capex reallocation. Battery cost tracking, new supplier qualification costs, and stranded asset risk need real-time financial visibility.
