Join top manufacturers
Across manufacturing, companies are transforming their operations with Tulip.
Automotive manufacturers need composability
Traditional MES can’t match the speed of today’s automotive landscape. Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers face fast-changing models, compliance demands, and production scale-ups. Tulip’s composable platform gives you flexible building blocks to digitize work, solve problems faster, and adapt without vendor lock-in or costly rip-and-replace projects.
-
Support every role across production
Give operators guided workflows, enable engineers to build apps fast without code, and equip IT with tools for governance, compliance, and secure integration.
-
Scale with demand, change with your process
Launch new vehicle programs, respond to quality issues, or spin up new lines. Tulip lets you adapt fast without re-coding or slowing production.
-
Modernize without disruption
Digitally transform without ripping out legacy systems. Deploy apps alongside existing tools, iterate quickly, and scale what works.
Recognized leader in frontline operations
Composable MES for automotive and speciality vehicles
Tulip’s composable MES helps you digitize critical workflows across production, quality, maintenance, and logistics. Use pre-built apps to reduce errors, ensure traceability, and boost performance across fast-moving automotive programs.
Advantages of composable MES
-
Human-centric
Reduce onboarding time and operator error with interfaces designed for complex automotive assembly. Guide workers with embedded visual instructions, sensors, and AI copilots.
-
Fast, iterative roll out
Skip long MES rollouts. Launch targeted apps like rework capture, in-line inspection, or traceability tracking in weeks. Scale what works, fast.
-
Open and extensible
Connect seamlessly to your PLM, ERP, QMS, and equipment via APIs and native connectors. Avoid data silos with contextualized, real-time visibility.
-
Flexible data model for traceability
Track every part, process, and vehicle across sites with a data model designed for auditability, compliance, and continuous improvement.
-
Democratized development
Enable process and quality engineers to build digital solutions using no-code tools, with centralized governance for IT.
-
Modern architecture
Use AI, connected devices, and real-time production data to reduce downtime, prevent scrap, and improve throughput across EV and specialty vehicle programs.

Tulip is recognized as a category-leading MES for automotive manufacturers seeking speed, flexibility, and traceability.
Unlike traditional, monolithic MES platforms, Tulip’s composable, no-code architecture allows Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to digitize operations quickly and adapt to changing vehicle programs without costly custom development. Automotive leaders use Tulip to modernize complex assembly lines, streamline audits, and scale across plants with minimal IT dependency. Tulip ranks as a leader in MES on G2, and is used by innovative manufacturers across EV systems, electrical assemblies, and specialty vehicle production.
-
Tulip enables full end-to-end traceability by capturing real-time data from people, machines, tools, and systems. Whether you're tracking serialized parts, torque tool results, or rework actions, Tulip ensures every step is documented and auditable. This helps Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers meet customer-specific compliance requirements, support IATF 16949 audits, and maintain digital records without relying on paper or siloed systems.
-
Legacy MES systems are often rigid, slow to adapt, and difficult to scale across multiple facilities. They struggle with high-mix production, late-stage engineering changes, and the rapid iteration cycles required by EV and specialty vehicle programs. These systems typically require vendor involvement for updates. Tulip removes these barriers by letting operations, quality, and engineering teams build and modify apps using no-code tools.
-
Tulip is built for fast deployment. Automotive manufacturers can go live in weeks, not years, and start digitizing workflows like work instructions, inspection logging, rework capture, and performance tracking. Teams often see gains in first-time yield, reduced training time, and accelerated new product introductions.
-
Yes. Tulip integrates with ERP systems like SAP and Oracle, PLM and QMS platforms, and shop floor equipment such as torque tools, test benches, and barcode scanners. With open APIs and pre-built connectors, Tulip centralizes real-time data to improve visibility, traceability, and issue resolution.
-
Yes. Tulip is used by EV system suppliers, battery module manufacturers, and specialty vehicle builders managing high variation and quality-critical operations. Whether scaling greenfield sites or upgrading legacy lines, Tulip provides the flexibility to meet modern automotive demands.
