Automotive Retail

Automate your sales and service workflows. Connect the various actors in the interlinked market. Achieve and maintain a successful business.
Automotive Retail

The vehicle market is undergoing profound change. Innovative strategies and solutions are needed, to implement new mobility and service concepts while focusing on customer needs and personalized online services.

 

A broadening perspective, reaching beyond just the vehicle to mobility solutions, is favoring new ecosystems and opening up new sources of revenue.  New providers from outside the industry are entering a changing market. Now, what counts is not just superior vehicle technology but more than ever the services relating to vehicle use.

 

Today’s world is highly integrated, with many actors involved in processes. We integrate all your business partners in your sales and service processes, automating these workflows across companies. This results in flexible solutions that ensure lasting business success.

Vehicle sales and service are transforming

Service revenues per vehicle drop, as e-mobility transforms after-sales business.

 

New car sales to private customers are on the decline.

 

New mobility services and use-cases emerge, as residents of large metropolitan areas demand mobility while not necessarily wishing to own vehicles.

 

New sales channels, including manufacturer direct marketing, and new forms of sales cooperation are putting pressure on traditional dealer-based business models.

 

Dealers are increasingly being required to integrate into their systems OEM applications that cover entire sub-processes.

 

New market participants, including internet portals that support used car purchases, sales and auctions, as well as sales cooperations with non-automotive retailers are factors fueling competition for customers.

 

Vehicle dealers are under enormous pressure to optimize their traditional business patterns and develop new models in the long term. The key parameters here are how dealers shape customer relationships and automate processes.

Customer Experience

Attracting and winning over loyal customers

Excellence in operations

Streamlining and automating processes

Modern businesses dealing in multiple brands require solutions based on an open architecture that can flexibly map business processes – both end-to-end and across companies.
