Introduction
The customer: Motherson
Motherson is a global leader in automotive components and engineering solutions. Across India and Bangladesh, the company manages over 5,000 industrial and office assets spread across 14 site locations — a distributed footprint that made clipboard-and-spreadsheet management slow and unreliable.
To achieve real-time visibility and operational efficiency at scale, Motherson deployed a smart asset platform powered by SmartX HUB for asset management, delivered in partnership with tag8.
The Challenge
Slow reconciliation, misplaced assets
Motherson's industrial and office assets represent one of its biggest investments, and proper location, maintenance and lifecycle management are critical to maximize ROI. The previous manual approach — spreadsheets and physical checks — created delays in reconciliation, errors in data, and real difficulty locating misplaced assets across distributed sites.
Slow reconciliation
Physical asset reconciliation took 12–15 weeks with manual checks.
Data errors
Spreadsheet-based records were prone to mistakes and gaps.
Misplaced assets
Locating assets across 14 distributed sites was difficult and slow.
ROI at risk
Weak lifecycle visibility undermined return on a major investment.
