Preparing for the Future:

ADAS, KPIs, Customer Experience, Diversification

We’re here to break down what you need to know to ensure your facility doesn’t get left behind.

Understand where the automotive industry is going, how it will affect your facility and how to prepare your body shop, dealership or mechanical centre to start the new year off on the right foot!

We’ll Discuss

Changing Technology

Do you know how ADAS affects your facility?

One thing is for sure, ADAS is not going away any time soon, so we’ll discuss how you can make the most of this technology in your body shop, dealership or mechanical centre.

Performance Metrics

Key performance indicators (KPI) may be the difference between you and your competitor.

What is your customer service score online? How long does it take you to get a vehicle to a customer? How do your costs compare?

We’ll discuss how you can get a handle on your KPIs.

Customer Experience

Do you have a virtual experience for your customers? Can they book appointments online? Do you ask them their preferred communications method?

Leverage technology to enhance your customers’ experience.

Diversification

In an industry of continued consolidation, becoming a one-stop shop for your customers can help strengthen existing relationships and build trust with new ones.

In 2016, Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, was quoted saying:

“The automotive industry will change more in the next five to ten years change more in the next five to 10 years than it has in the last 50.”

Whether it’s the inclusion of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in our vehicles, use of new materials like carbon fibre or creating customer service opportunities through technology like online appointments – the industry is moving full speed ahead.
