TeamEDA empowers automotive design and development engineering teams and asset managers to gain complete visibility, reduce costs, and eliminate waste from license pools across global teams and round-the-clock operations.
Challenges
Industry-specific challenges
01
02Usage visibility
Inconsistent visibility into usage across 2D/3D design, simulation, CFD, and crash analysis
03Tool sharing
Limited ability to share expensive tools across time zones or departments
04License planning
Difficulty forecasting license needs due to fluctuating program timelines
05Compliance risk
Compliance risk and audit pressure for specialized tools like Mentor Graphics and Cadence for electronic components
The cost of unmanaged licenses in automotive
Automotive enterprises typically overspend 15–25% on engineering software licenses due to:
- Inaccurate forecasting and overprovisioning
- Poor utilization of high-cost tools like Catia and NX
- Bottlenecks caused by insufficient access during peak usage
- Lack of usage data to negotiate better vendor terms
- Reactive license allocation across crash testing, CFD, and 3D modeling teams
