Kamäleon

Glossary Page

KAMÄLEON is a cloud-based platform developed by the BMW Group in collaboration with selected suppliers to establish a clear framework and facilitate real-time discussion between the company and its suppliers. The platform adapts to its environment like a chameleon, providing both sides with unprecedented clarity on material requirements and supplier capacities. KAMÄLEON not only describes the current status in the short term, but also highlights potential future bottlenecks, allowing both partners to react in good time and work out solutions together before any potential damage occurs. As a result, the platform significantly improves stability in the supply chain. The BMW Group's KAMÄLEON project has been named a finalist in the VDA Logistics Awards.

BMWE2025: From silos to ecosystems

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy’s conference “From Silos to Ecosystems – Creating Europe’s Digital Momentum” (Berlin, 5–6 Nov 2025) highlighted Europe’s unique opportunity to lead in industrial data ecosystems powered by dataspace technology.
