How OP Mobility replaced FTP constraints with a globally connected exchange process.
OP Mobility moved beyond file-size limits, fragmented transfers and IT-heavy FTP administration to support faster, traceable data exchange with 603 external users across 429 companies in 37 countries.
OP Mobility needed its engineering data exchange process to keep pace with a globally distributed automotive supply chain.
The business develops exterior vehicle lighting systems and works with OEMs and suppliers around the world across technologies including matrix lamps, adaptive driving beam systems, LEDs, OLEDs and electronic control modules.
Teams sometimes had to split packages into multiple instalments, while recipients later spent time reconstructing the complete data set.
01A global automotive engineering network
OP Mobility supplies custom design solutions and develops innovative exterior lighting systems for vehicle manufacturers and automotive partners across international markets.
That model depends on detailed engineering information moving quickly between distributed teams, customers and suppliers without losing visibility over who received it or what happened next.
02FTP created friction around large transfers
The existing FTP process placed technical limits around file size and required additional IT resource to administer. Large CAD structures and other engineering packages sometimes had to be divided into smaller files before they could be sent.
What remained workable within one physical location became less dependable for offsite exchange. The result was avoidable preparation, transfer and reassembly time across the supply chain.
03A browser-based alternative without file-size limits
MX provided a transfer-focused route that could handle large files without forcing teams to break complete packages into instalments. Because the service operates through the browser, implementation did not require additional desktop software across every participant.
This combination of large-file capability and straightforward external access is central to controlled large-file sharing where engineering data must cross organisational boundaries.
We had full confidence that this was the tool for our needs, and our business team have implemented MX as our standard process for exchanging data with external partners.
Less dead time around large packages, stronger transaction visibility and a scalable route to external partners.
The value was not limited to faster transmission. OP Mobility also gained a process that reduced manual preparation, simplified participation and created a clearer record of activity.
Complete packages stay complete
Without a maximum transfer size, teams no longer needed to split large data sets into instalments or ask recipients to reconstruct them.
Activity can be reviewed
Searchable transaction histories and one-click audit information make it easier to review transfers and subsequent download activity.
External access can scale
A browser-based experience and simple onboarding supported expansion to hundreds of users across suppliers and partner organisations.
MX became the standard external exchange process by removing practical obstructions without adding unnecessary infrastructure.
OP Mobility first encountered MX through Jaguar Land Rover's software distribution process before adopting the platform for its own bi-directional exchanges.
The service combines large-file transfer with 256-bit AES encryption, named-user access and detailed transaction histories. These controls help protect intellectual property while supporting the evidence and traceability expected in complex supplier relationships.
For businesses managing similar multi-company workflows, My MX Data provides a controlled B2B exchange layer alongside existing engineering and collaboration systems.
The quality of support from Majenta Solutions, who were always available to support our adoption, made the process a real success. The MX team had resources ready to guide our colleagues during implementation. Support was excellent, and was provided whenever it was needed.
A straightforward browser experience helped OP Mobility extend the process across a large external network.
The platform can be used without installing or maintaining third-party desktop software, reducing the infrastructure burden commonly associated with managed FTP services.
OP Mobility connected 603 external users across 429 companies in 37 countries and completed 20,471 transactions at the time the original customer story was prepared.

We would be happy to work with Majenta again in future, and on the strength of recent experience I would recommend Majenta to anyone considering MX for Data Exchange.
