o9 Solutions, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider, announced on August 26, 2025, its membership in the Catena-X community, building on its October 2024 Demand and Capacity Management (DCM) certification. This move strengthens o9’s commitment to fostering standardized, secure, and interoperable data exchange in the automotive industry, enhancing supply chain efficiency and collaboration.
Catena-X, launched in 2021, is the automotive industry’s first globally trusted, industry-governed data ecosystem, connecting OEMs, suppliers, and service providers. It offers shared standards, open-source components, and a certification framework for secure, interoperable data exchange. o9’s membership, announced in Dallas, leverages its expertise in digital planning and multi-tier supplier collaboration to shape Catena-X’s technical processes. “Joining the Catena-X community reflects our belief that effective collaboration is not just about connectivity,” said Falko Feldchen, VP of Procurement at o9 Solutions.

o9’s contributions focus on scaling these standards for live planning environments, supporting its Digital Brain platform, which integrates graph-based modeling and AI analytics.
The automotive supply chain, valued at $2.5T globally, faces challenges like complexity and disruptions, per a 2025 McKinsey report. Catena-X, with hubs in the U.S., China, and Europe, and members like BMW and SAP, addresses these through standardized data exchange. o9’s involvement, following its DCM certification, positions it alongside SAP and CatX Services as a key player in a $10B supply chain tech market, per Gartner.
o9’s membership enhances its role in driving vendor-agnostic, interoperable solutions, reducing reliance on proprietary systems. “Catena-X plays a vital role in bringing more stakeholders into one connected ecosystem,” Feldchen noted.
