It will not be wrong to call 21st century as the era of technology. AI, Blockchain, Machine Learning are some of the emerging technology and every organization in every sector is in a race to implement the best technology in order to achieve more success.
In this article, we are going to talk about automotive OEMs that how they are performing various tasks manually and how they can implement advanced technology to make work processing faster.
Let's talk about the dealers. They are brand ambassador of OEMs in front of customers and due to this reason OEMs give special privilege to such dealers that perform well. To analyze the performance, OEM rate dealer on multiple parameters. An authorized person from OEM, basically ASM (Area sales manager) Visit authorized dealership on remote location at yearly or quarterly basis.
ASM prepare audit report of dealers on the basis of manpower, amenities and infrastructure, etc. Points are awarded to dealers according to the situation of each amenity. The main motive behind such audits is to maintain brand reputation and maintain business profitability.
But the main issue in such task is - manual process of audit. Long travel time and then many hours are wasted in this manual process. Apart from this, OEMs representative need to do data entry of the report and then send it to OEM. So, to counter such long and error prone process Intellinet has developed digital dealer visit report software.
The automated software will save a lot of time and resources. Also, there will be no need of duplicate data entry and errors will be eliminated automatically.
Make real-time reporting a reality!
The First step to stay ahead of competitors is to automate the work process and data entry tasks. OEMs need to give their decision-making chain the ability to access data in real time. Based on this observation, it will be possible to react quickly by digitizing all the business process. Dealer visit report allow you to do this and much more. By using digital software ASMs will be able to:
- Send data captured from dealer in real-time.
- Make entries from dealer audit checklist quickly without use of pen and paper.
