Transforming field management

Traditional field management models have supported OEMs for many years, ensure they provide a consistent customer experience across the entire dealer network. However, the current approach comes with a number of challenges for OEMs, dealers and their field managers.

Traditional field representatives can spend hours on the road travelling between dealers, counseling stores on how to improve their operations. But large teams of employees working in disparate locations across a dealer network are expensive and can sometimes lead to inconsistencies in support. Furthermore, dealer visits often require dealership personnel to step away from their day-to-day responsibilities and can be disruptive to dealers’ operations.

While field operations remain effective in many ways, OEMs must to rethink how they connect with their dealers, continuing to help them achieve their performance goals whilst reducing costs to the business.

What do we offer?

MSX has developed a suite of solutions that enable OEMs to monitor dealer performance closely, identifying the stores that are most in need of support and providing specific guidance to drive them forward.

We work with you to develop an intervention strategy for your entire dealer network, allowing onsite interaction based on the needs of each individual dealership. Alternative intervention methods complement face-to-face visits, helping to bridge the gap between you and your dealers.

Maximize dealership performance

By consolidating internal data pools, OEMs have access to most of their dealers’ key metrics across all revenue streams. These metrics can be weighted based on their importance and aggregated into a performance index, which, in turn, can be used to cluster dealers into performance groups. The OEM can then establish the correct level of interaction with each dealer based on its performance group. High performers will require less guidance, while the dealers that struggle to achieve their objectives will require more attention.

An intervention strategy can be created to address the various levels of performance, allowing OEMs to deliver onsite interaction only where it is needed most.

MSX M:CORE solutions deliver and assess the skills and knowledge of the network in achieving the KPI’s to drive and sustain behavior change. Alternative intervention methods, such as digital learning, remote coaching and remote auditing complement the in-person visits, and can be directed at the entire dealership or at individual members of the dealer’s team.
