From owning a car as an asset to specifying what features one wants to enhance the mobility experience of customers, we have come a long way. A mobility experience in its entirety is what we are referring to here. The cars of today come with several state-of-the-art features like passenger entertainment, self-driving, voice command, social media integration, AI-driven maintenance software and more. Several automotive dealers who are in the car leasing and renting business, advertise themselves with the tagline – ‘segment-first’. But the sad part? Not all of them are successful in their endeavors. If we try to revive a scenario from a decade ago, it would be common to see a customer walking into a car dealership company, filling several forms, going through multiple brochures and haggling with different staff members before finalizing on a car on lease/rent. But the scenario is quite different now. Customers ask for a hassle-free way to lease/rent/buy cars. And the automoti

A car that does all the talking and helps the driver get out of the jam using artificial intelligence. A car that drives itself. And a car that suggests fuel-saving routes.

Today, we will be talking about Automotive Technologies of 2020 and beyond. We will be acquainting you with what technologies are being tested, the ones that are doing fairly well and the ones that are proving to be highly successful. Time to sit back and enjoy the drive!

“There’s a bumper sticker on my Range Rover which says “Blow a horn if car parts fall off.” This new sticker is the replacement of a previous sticker which said: “Each part that falls out of this car is of superior European quality”. I am done dealing with airflow sensors, head gaskets, coil pack and heaters that ask for the removal of the entire dashboard. The revisits at auto dealers are not fun. And I forget my checkbook each time!” This is what a rant from a customer done dealing with obsolete automotive dealers sounds like. Whether you already own an automotive dealership or you are about to start a new one, you need to take care of several aspects and stay on top of them. If your data is an amalgamation of details scattered all over the place including CRM, emails, ERP, local files and manual documents , there’s bad news! You will not be able to cope with the expectations of modern customers. What you need is a comprehensive, robust, and reliable

“ You can innovate your brains out and get a great product. But it is hard to sell cars. It is a hard business.”  —  Mark Reuss, Executive Vice President, General Motors. Automotive dealers  thriving in the technology-driven world are often overwhelmed with technology. Especially, the old school ones. The ones that are reluctant to change. On the other hand, car freaks are already fantasizing about the digital versions of their choice, make, and model. Also, they do not want to rent or lease cars by visiting automotive dealers.
