In the automotive industry, work doesn't just end in the office or service center. Service technicians, roadside assistance teams, mobile sales representatives, and supply specialists perform dozens of tasks in the field every day. Managing this dynamic environment manually can lead to risks such as lost time, inaccurate records, and customer dissatisfaction.
This is where automotive company software comes into play, digitizing field operations end-to-end.
Main Problems Encountered in Field Operations
Service personnel cannot instantly access current work orders.
· Lack of knowledge of spare parts stock status in the field
Data loss and delays due to manual reporting
Dependence on phone or email in customer approval processes
These problems both increase operational costs and damage customer experience.
