In today’s fiercely competitive market, mobility players are striving to exceed industry standards. By comparing their performance with that of their competitors, organizations can uncover hidden opportunities, set ambitious yet achievable goals, and develop strategies to stay ahead. Competitive benchmarking has become an essential tool in this data-driven business landscape. Many businesses still struggle to understand how their competitors are performing, often relying on surveys to get the answers. Contour’s innovative benchmarking solution, however, uses real-time transactional data, providing a comprehensive, dynamic, and in-depth analysis of industry performance.
By redefining industry standards, Contour empowers businesses with actionable intelligence that drives strategic decision-making and operational excellence. This advanced approach enables organizations to gain a competitive edge by accessing insights, identifying areas for improvement, and making informed decisions that enhance overall performance. As a result, businesses can stay ahead of market trends, optimize their operations, and achieve sustained success in an increasingly competitive environment.
Revolutionizing benchmarking with real-time data analytics
Traditional benchmarking relies on surveys, which often lack depth, accuracy, and relevance. Contour disrupts this model by integrating transactional data analytics, allowing businesses to compare industry trends. It works by aggregating repair order data and other relevant metrics which is then normalized and securely shared through an executive mobile app and diagnostic portal.
One of the unique aspects of this solution is its ability to normalize data across different OEMs and independent repair chains. This normalization allows for meaningful comparisons and helps organizations identify areas for improvement. This approach enables businesses to:
