Tata-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has said that sections of its digital estate are now up and running as it looks to bring more systems back online.
The company took its systems offline and halted manufacturing operations after a cyber-attack at the end of August. It is planning to resume manufacturing operations on October 1st.
The company said that as part of a phased restart of operations, ‘sections of our digital estate are now up and running’. Moreover, it also says the ‘foundational work of our recovery programme is firmly underway’ and that it has significantly increased IT processing capacity for invoicing.
‘We are now working to clear the backlog of payments to our suppliers as quickly as we can’, it said in a statement.
JLR’s Global Parts Logistics Centre, which supplies the parts distribution centres for retail partners in the UK and around the world, is now ‘returning to full operations’.
The company also said the financial system used to process the wholesales of vehicles has been brought back online and ‘we are able to sell and register vehicles for our clients faster, delivering important cash flow’.
