About

Summary

For ZF, one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, dotWhite delivered first-, second-, and third-level support in partnership with NTT DATA Germany, covering multiple car vendors. The scope spanned everything a deployed unit needed — diagnosing potential issues, supporting the maintenance scheduling system, and resolving problems down to the embedded layer.

The Task

Challenge

When units are deployed in the field across multiple vendors, every unresolved issue is a vehicle, a workshop, or a production line waiting. Support at three levels means owning the problem from first report to root-cause fix in embedded code.

The Task
Our Solution

Results

A sustained multi-year, multi-vendor support operation covering diagnosis, debugging, and maintenance coordination for deployed units.

Our Solution
The Work

What we’ve built

A full support operation spanning L1 triage through L3 embedded C++ diagnosis and resolution, integrated with the maintenance scheduling system, serving multiple automotive vendors within a large joint delivery structure.

Takeaway

Third-level support in automotive isn’t a helpdesk function — it’s engineering. The teams that can read the embedded code are the teams that can actually close the ticket.
