Automotive data exchange in the Stuttgart region follows industry standards rather than regulation, and they shape system design. Odette publishes automotive message guidelines, including delivery forecast and just-in-time messages (Version 2025, published February 2026) and call-off, kanban and sequence-synchronisation messages; it describes OFTP2 as a protocol for standardised automotive data exchange alongside MMOG and Odette ID. VDA 4987, the despatch advice with EDI (2023), replaces VDA 4913 (as published — confirm current rules with your provider or adviser). The regional development agency describes Stuttgart as a leading automobile manufacturing centre with manufacturers, suppliers and research institutes.
LATYNEX Digital works on the internal side of that exchange. This page covers that work for Stuttgart-region suppliers. The general service is at Workflow Automation & Systems Integration, and the market overview is at LATYNEX Digital for businesses in Stuttgart.

Common lead-handling problems

- Despatch-advice errors with no named owner
- Unclear split of duties between the EDI provider and your own systems
- Account and contact data in the CRM that disagrees with what the ERP holds
Direct answer
If your Stuttgart-region company receives delivery forecasts and call-offs and sends despatch advices as EDI, LATYNEX builds the workflow between the messages your EDI provider delivers and your ERP and CRM: mapping message content to records, validating it, updating open demand without re-keying, and routing anything that fails a check into an exception queue with a named owner.
Why the global integration page and the Stuttgart hub are not enough
The global integration page is written for any system pair, and the Stuttgart hub covers the market generally. Automotive EDI adds a fixed edge: message types and versions set by industry guidelines, and a provider at the edge who translates and transports them. The design question is what your internal systems do with each message and who owns a failure, so we start from a written division of duties.
What we configure and build
The work sits on your side of the EDI provider boundary.
- A mapping from forecast and call-off content to ERP demand and CRM account records
- Validation rules: unknown part numbers, changed quantities, missing dates, versions you do not expect
- Outbound preparation of despatch-advice data from shipment records, checked before it goes to your provider
- An exception queue with an owner, a status and a note on what was decided
- A one-page duty split between your provider, your ERP team and the workflow, plus a written handover
What the provider and your ERP team keep
Translation to and from the standard formats, transport, partner IDs and any certification stay with your EDI provider. Your ERP vendor or team keeps the ERP's own logic. We need read and write access to the systems we connect, agreed in scoping. Whether your provider and ERP offer an API, webhook or file drop is checked in a technical review; connections are scoped per project, through an API or webhook where the system supports it, and some will need custom scope.
What we do not do
LATYNEX does not translate EDI, is not an OFTP2 or Odette-certified provider, holds no VDA or OEM approval, and does not name or represent any manufacturer. We do not give legal advice and do not deliver in German.
How delivery actually works
LATYNEX Digital has no office in Stuttgart and does not claim one. We work with Stuttgart businesses remotely, over video calls and written updates, in English, with the same team and process as in every other market.
Questions
Do you have an office in Stuttgart?+
No. We work with businesses in Stuttgart remotely, over video calls and written updates, in English, and we do not imply a local presence.
Can you replace our EDI provider?+
No. Translation and transport stay with your EDI provider. We work on how your ERP and CRM use the messages that provider delivers.
Are you Odette- or OFTP2-certified?+
No. We are not a certified provider and hold no OEM approval. Any requirement from a customer about certification is for your provider to meet.
Does this make us compliant with a customer's EDI requirements?+
We do not give legal or compliance advice, and the standards are industry guidelines. Confirm current requirements with your customer and your EDI provider; we build the internal workflow to match what they confirm.
Can you connect any ERP?+
We do not claim prebuilt connectors. Integrations are scoped per project, through an API or webhook where the system supports it, after technical review; older ERPs may need custom scope.
How are you invoiced, and in what currency?+
In EUR, by Latynex Trade OÜ, a company registered in Estonia (EU). Tax treatment for a client in Germany is confirmed on the quote, and we do not give tax advice.
