The challenge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges automotive networks face<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OEMs, distributors and dealer groups audit their networks against dozens of standards. The same three problems come up every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\u201cEvery programme has its own checklist\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

OEM standards, corporate identity, aftersales, warranty and safety each come with their own forms, so audits are slow and results are scattered across spreadsheets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cReports take longer than the audit\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Findings are written up after the visit, so it can take days before a dealer sees the result, and weeks before head office sees the network.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cActions don\u2019t get closed\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Corrective actions sit in a spreadsheet only the audit team can update, so dealers don\u2019t own them and the same findings come back next time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Solves challenge 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every programme in one checklist app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

OEM standards, corporate identity, sales, aftersales and bodyshop checks become scored checklists on the auditor\u2019s phone, with photos where they matter, so every dealer is checked the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
