The automotive industry is witnessing a surge in price-competitive business models that simplify the buying and selling experience for customers. However, automotive companies are unable to capitalize on this opportunity while collaborating with dealers grappling with already squeezed margins, rapidly changing profit pools, and consolidation pressures. The primary reason is ineffective inventory management, which leads to fragmented experiences and higher wait times and invites customers’ ire. Subsequently, the blocked-up capital leads to revenue loss, hindering companies and dealers from reaching their true margin potential. A proper dealer management framework is the need of the hour.
Our client faced similar operational challenges, leading to unrealized profits. They needed a modernized supply chain that could help streamline their dealer finance operations. Their existing dealer management system (DMS) did not support critical finance and controlling functions, ultimately leading to various operational and productivity challenges across the supply chain. They also lacked data-led extraction and insight-led capabilities for timely decision-making.
Bosch SDS understood the challenges faced by the client in modernizing the supply chain and enhancing existing processes. We helped them develop a SAP strategy and proposed an elaborate solution for integration into the digital finance environment. Our experts also helped them migrate to a new architecture with Siebal DMS and S/4HANA.
