The automotive industry is the backbone of the European economy – and is simultaneously facing enormous pressure to transform. With Device as a Service and LifeCycle Management solutions, the TKD ensures that mobile IT infrastructures function efficiently, securely, and scalably – across locations, countries, and processes.
The automotive industry shapes the European economy like almost no other sector. Millions of jobs, complex supply chains, and international structures make it a central component of industrial value creation.
At the same time, the industry faces massive challenges:
Smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and IoT devices have long been more than just communication tools in the automotive industry. They are an integral part of operational processes.
The TKD enables the centralized management of mobile IT assets across plants, locations, and countries.
Shared mobile devices, shift models, and handover scenarios can be mapped just as easily as role-based usage in production facilities, logistics, and service.
With IT Asset Management within WorkplaceNow, the TKD creates full transparency over the entire device fleet. Usage, LifeCycle status, and costs become centrally visible, enabling well-founded management across locations and countries.
Security requirements are business-critical in the automotive industry – especially when handling sensitive data, development information, and production processes. The TKD integrates security and compliance requirements directly into the workplace concept.
The TKD integrates into the existing IT and carrier landscapes of international automotive companies.
This includes connections to mobile and network operators as well as integration into existing system landscapes, such as with Microsoft and ServiceNow.
This creates a workplace system that utilizes, expands, and efficiently connects existing structures – without replacing established processes.
The TKD offers enterprise companies a structured evaluation of their existing end-device fleet. ITAM structure, lifecycle processes, financial procurement models, and system integration are analyzed. The result is a clear classification.
The Enterprise Report 2026 shows how device and fleet management is changing in the enterprise environment.
The focus is on Device as a Service, Buy & Rent Back, and the growing importance of integrated ITAM platforms like WorkplaceNow.
