High competitive pressure, sinking margins, senseless “discount battles,” success-related purchase discounts and bonuses, plus high costs resulting from prescribed minimum standards for buildings, staff, warehouse and business equipment are increasingly forcing you to cut costs in administration, to increase your sales figures and to respond quickly when budgets are exceeded. To cope with these challenges, you need a DMS which is fit for the future, offers multi-make and multi-company capability, and incorporates efficient CRM systems for customer care and dependable controlling systems for real-time monitoring of budgets.
It is the case for all makes of automobile that fewer and fewer affiliated dealers are covering increasingly large market areas. Existing locations and staff have to be integrated when companies are taken over. For you this means more staff in your own branches or at affiliated subdealerships, and consequently an increasing number of workplaces which are connected to your Dealer Management System.
The system requirements for security, performance, scalability and the data model are growing and require various processes to be converted to a uniform process structure. In an increasingly difficult market it definitely makes sense for you to expand your product and service portfolio and to create further opportunities by adopting additional makes and further fields of business. This also requires appropriate data models with standardized processes and functions.
Multiple, parallel systems are not a solution: different system processes and separate databases are a permanent hindrance to conducting overall analyses of the corporate group.
You can only counter the changes in the automotive sector with state-of-the-art, future-oriented systems. These systems must be able to integrate new makes, must be scalable, must reduce your administration costs and, if possible, must be recommended by all manufacturers.
We will support you in searching for a system which maps not only your requirements, but also those of your suppliers and which, if required, can also be implemented by a provider in the form of an ASP solution so that you will be able to reliably calculate your IT system and personnel costs.
