Leading Car Dealership Achieves Savings With Sales and Delivery Process Optimisation

Tags:
back-office

Overview Autodrome, one of the Netherlands' leading automotive dealers, wanted to automate expensive manual processes and streamline reporting. To achieve this, it deployed a comprehensive dealership reporting, analytics, and dash-boarding solution from Microsoft Certified Partner RPMcar. Based on the latest Microsoft technologies, this gives sales representatives a clear view of each car's status and provides a structured approach to sales and delivery processes. Managers can see if employees and outlets are meeting their targets in real time, and take effective steps to address inefficiency across the business. While sales information across 12 car brands was previously updated manually, this process is now fully automated. As a result, Autodrome has reduced staffing costs.
