With a scope that wide, you can imagine that each of these manufacturers have unique challenges and require unique solutions. If you take a look at the diagrams, you are able to see and better understand the scope of our customers\u2019 experiences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, let\u2019s look at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/documents\/customer-success\/diagrams\/16x9_QAD_IDs_Auto.jpg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automotive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> industry diagram, featuring the Bolt, Chevy\u2019s first long-range all-electric vehicle and 2017\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motor Trend<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Car of the Year. We\u2019ve identified 30 QAD customers that make parts specifically for the Bolt. They make everything from headlamp adjusters and rearview mirrors to the leather seats and floor mats. While the diagram only features QAD customers that made parts for the Bolt, we work with countless other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/industries\/automotive\">automotive<\/a> customers.
