And Driving Digital Transformation in the Automotive Supply Chain
GEFEG is pleased to announce its participation at Odette2025. The 23rd Odette International Automotive Conference for Supply Chain Professionals and Digital Transformation Experts takes place on 26 and 27 May 2025 in Bratislava . Experts from business, government and technology will discuss about the evolving landscape of the automotive supply chain.
Being part of this event means so much more to us than just being there with a booth. It is a clear message: Standardisation is the backbone of successful digital transformation in the automotive supply chain. Using real use cases and proven tools, GEFEG demonstrates how companies can manage data efficiently, securely and in accordance with standards. And of course this also applies to requirements in compliance with EU regulations.
🌐Which are the important and interesting topics to discuss?
The regulatory and sustainability landscape is changing rapidly – and the pressure on companies is growing. As industries such as the automotive industry shift to digitalised supply chains, they are also facing many new requirements. The wave of environmental regulations and regulatory requirements currently includes, for example, the EU regulation on electronic freight information (eFTI). Companies will not be able to sidestep these challenges.
GEFEG provides solutions and tools to master these challenges. And more importantly, we help companies to implement them – with the perfect software, strategic guidance and international co-operation.
At Odette2025, GEFEG will showcase how international standards, robust modeling tools and expert collaboration help companies turn complexity into opportunity. We will share best practices and lessons learnt from successful work with supply chain professionals and technology leaders. GEFEG brings clarity and structure to these topics. This enables you not only to prepare for compliance, but also to leverage it as a strategic advantage.

VAT in the Digital Age(ViDA) – Value Added Tax in the Digital Age”
On 11 March 2025, the European Commission adopted the ‘VAT in the Digital Age’ (ViDA) package. This package modernises VAT regulations in the EU and adapts them to the rapidly developing digital economy. European companies involved in cross-border trade, especially trading companies, must prepare for far-reaching changes. There is time for this implementation until 2035. What does this mean for businesses?
-
Digital Product Passport (DPP)
Creating transparency, promoting sustainability and enabling circular economic models for the entire life cycle of a product: this is only possible on the basis of high-quality, standardised product data. What do companies have to do today and in the future to comply with regulatory requirements? In the course of the current legislative developments related to the introduction of product passports, all companies involved in the production of the impacted products are faced with many new tasks.
Companies will only be able to meet these challenges with new test systems that ensure that they fulfil all compliance requirements. The implementation of modern data management and test systems will therefore not only become a competitive advantage. But they become an indispensable prerequisite for companies to survive in an increasingly regulated market on the one hand. At the same time, it also makes a positive contribution to the sustainable transformation of the value chain.
