Registered users have access to individual applications and procurementrelated information as well as the portal pages of Mitsubishi Motors’ major locations.

This includes integrated automotive-specifi c applications for sharing a library of documents and secure bulletin broadcasts to increase the visibility of information across the supply chain and achieve better decisions with current, real-time information.
[Efficiency Improvement - R&D]
By leveraging Covisint’s platform, Mitsubishi avoided the expense and time to develop a portal internally and accelerated the rollout of its internal applications to suppliers. The portal enables a single global access point to all online applications as well as easy navigation and processing of system transactions.
