What is UPIK®?

Unique Partner Identification Key (UPIK®) is a standardized, clear, and company-wide identification system. 

The Unique Partner Identification Key is based on the D&B D-U-N-S® Number. The D&B D-U-N-S® Number enables the clear classification of business partners on a global level. 

Business partner information on any company can be newly added and updated at the UPIK® platform. 

UPIK® was developed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry (Verband der Automobilindustrie, VDA) and the German Chemical Industry Association (Verband der Chemischen Industrie, VCI) in cooperation with D&B Germany. 

The UPIK® identification system is directed primarily at all factories, business locations, and delivery addresses in the automobile and chemical industries, as well as suppliers to these industries. 

What advantages does UPIK® offer?

Business partners and locations are classified in a uniform manner. This allows master data to be easily modified and updated. It also eases order and delivery processes. 

Each company worldwide is allocated one unique D&B D-U-N-S� Number. This enables clear identification of companies and suppliers in the automotive and chemical industries:

• Existing supplier/customer keys can be supplemented or replaced
• The transparency of data is considerably increased thanks to a source of data that is always correct and current
• Duplicate entries are avoided and expenditures associated with updating data are significantly reduced

Participants can use UPIK� free of charge at any time without technical expenditure.

How does UPIK® work?

The cooperative efforts of participants are key to the success of UPIK�: Each company updates its own data, thus ensuring that UPIK� stays current. The continuously updated company data is collected and managed on the UPIK� platform. All affiliated partners can access this data. 

Many national and international companies have already joined the UPIK� program. Discover the advantages for your company!
