Supplier Integration

Integration of our suppliers into our business processes requires an optimal exchange of information. We exchange business and CAD data with our suppliers via a direct connection (EDI - Electronic Data Interchange) or via web portals

CAD data quality - Portal for quality requirements

At the CAD data quality portal, FORVIA HELLA suppliers can download the required supplier packages for CATIA V5.

For more information about the CAD data quality portal see our Download-Center.

If you have questions on the subject of CAD and supplier package, please call our hotline at +49 (0) 2941 / 38 – 1600 or email ddx.hosxmr@mvkwtline@hella.com .

EDI - Direct connection for data exchange

For data exchange via EDI, we prefer OFTP2 or AS2. In exceptional cases, a connection can be established via VAN or via SFTP, FTPS.

The formats we use for data exchange with suppliers are EDIFACT and VDA but we prefer EDIFACT.

For information about the parameters of the individual HELLA companies and a description of the individual message types see our Download-Center.

If you have questions on the subject of data exchange via EDI, please call our hotline at +49 (0) 2941 / 38 – 1600, or send an email to supporpuyx@fhgft.edi@hella.com.

 

WebEdi - Portal for commercial data exchange

The WebEDI portal is a server-based web application on which FORVIA HELLA deposits data from the procurement process (purchase orders, delivery plans, credit memos etc.).

After login, this data can be printed or downloaded and saved in various formats (PDF, CSV, XML, EDIFACT). To register for the portal, you have to name a contact (supplier administrator) who can create and administer internal user profiles with the appropriate authorizations. Transfer of the data is protected with SSL encryption.

If you have questions on the subject of data exchange via EDI, please call our hotline at +49 (0) 2941 / 38 – 1600.

Trufusion Portal – Web portal for cad data exchange

For data exchange with partners that are not connected to FORVIA HELLA via OFTP, FORVIA HELLA is using the Trufusion Portal. 

The data to be transmitted, such as CAD data or any files, is saved on a web server. The partners can log in and then download the saved data or upload the data to be provided.

Transmission is SSL encrypted.

For more information about Trufusion Portal please see our Download-Center.
