Ekan Management's Catena-X Advisory Team
Ekan Management has certified five of its consultants as Catena-X advisory consultants. This means we meet the requirements as a Catena-X Qualified Advisory Provider.
Ekan has worked for many years with advice on processes, value flows and digitalization in the automotive industry. In the coming years, a large number of new laws will be introduced, which will place demands on all actors in the value chain, linked to data exchange and increased transparency. We have thought a lot about how we at Ekan, with all our knowledge, should be able to help with the challenges that this entails and when we came into contact with Catena-X We were immediately captivated by the ideas that underpin the network.
When an advisory role opened up to help OEMs and other players in the value chain, we didn’t hesitate. With a team of five qualified consultants (see contact details below), Ekan as a company has now achieved the right to call itself a “Catena-X Qualified Advisory Provider”. Our role as an advisor is primarily about guidance and evaluation linked to processes, tools and strategy, as well as supporting implementation.
What is Catena-X?
Catena-X is the first open and collaborative data ecosystem for the automotive industry. It aims to create a seamless, secure and standardized data exchange between actors across the entire value chain – from OEMs and suppliers to dealers and service providers. The platform is built on common standards and enables better traceability, more efficient processes and increased sustainability within the industry.
Why is this relevant for our automotive customers?
- More efficient supply chains – By connecting data from different actors, companies can optimize logistics, reduce bottlenecks and improve resource planning.
- Increased transparency and sustainability – Catena-X enables detailed traceability of components and materials, helping companies meet strict sustainability and regulatory requirements.
- Digital transformation – Through standardized data management and interoperability, companies can accelerate their digitalization and improve collaboration across the entire value chain.
With this certification, Ekan Management strengthens its position as a pioneer in digitalization and future management of the automotive industry. We look forward to helping our customers maximize the value of Catena-X!

- Training and assistance in raising awareness around the transition with a focus on Catena-X in the customer's organization
