Digital transformation has revolutionized the way industries function and the way consumers
perceive and use products and services. This disruption in the automotive and automotive
aftermarket industry has led to several changes in terms of accelerating technological innovation,
evolving customer expectations and shifting competitive power.
With the new age empowered customers having more access to industry knowledge, the need of
the hour for garage and workshop owners is to meet the customers’ expectations by servicing and
repairing vehicles at the lowest turnaround time possible, and with utmost precision.
The biggest pain area for most garage chains and independent workshops is finding the right vehicle
parts and completing the orders in one go.
To keep up with the diverse competition, garage and workshop owners are bound to increase
efficiency and reduce latency and lagged service. It is actually an arduous task for these players to
find the best fitting auto part for their need, considering there are so many variants of spare parts
available in the market for a single vehicle model. Lack of accurate vehicle identification leads to low
parts accuracy and high returns and replacements which further leads to:



Excessive costs associated with product returns and shuttling of parts between distribution
centres
Excess inventory costs resulting out of the need to meet customer demands
Order processing errors and adjustments in invoicing
Extended billing terms and long lead times for product delivery to customers
The power of digital transformation and innovation plays a vital role in resolving these challenges.
Integration of new technology concepts helps garage players to have access to accurate insights
