SERVICEVIEW™

Tapping into service data to boost performance across retailer aftersales networks

9 月 7th, 2023

The retailer aftersales business model is facing significant change as the vehicle parc begins to transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs) in greater volumes. Maintaining profitability is top of mind and manufacturers are sharpening their focus on helping retailers find aftersales opportunities. EVs require less maintenance, which means that alternative revenue and profit streams need to be investigated. Aftersales performance is, therefore, more critical than ever for both manufacturers and retailers.

Both manufacturers and retailers require benchmarks to effectively measure established, as well as novel, KPIs to enable accurate assessment of the impacts of industry shifts and facilitate the tracking and encouragement of continuous improvement. Manufacturers are seeking an aftersales performance measurement solution that streamlines the process of extracting, cleansing, validating and analyzing detailed service data, while simultaneously finding and presenting every revenue-generating opportunity at hand.

关键挑战

Ensuring reliable KPI measurement requires accurate and timely data input and sophisticated processes to clean and enhance service invoice (Repair Order) data. Historically, dealership service department performance has not been accounted for by manufacturers. This autonomy has resulted in dealers developing their own data management processes or working with a variety of data extraction services, often with limited scope and insights into key service performance metrics crucial for driving revenue and navigating industry shifts.

Additionally, manufacturers dealing with multiple data providers encounter an added challenge: ensuring the consolidation
and reliability of network service data right from the outset. Addressing this challenge necessitates a significant investment of time to refine the process.

Manufacturers find themselves asking:

  • How can I efficiently and effectively collect service data for my network?
  • How many entities does it require to manage my service data?
  • How do I consolidate my network’s diverse service data providers?
  • Is there an aftersales performance management solution that continues to evolve with industry shifts?
  • How will I trust that my service network data analyses are accurate?
