THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRYChanging LandscapeThe automotive industry is facing deeply fragmented information systems, lack of comprehensive standards and communication links, and an inability to tap into the power of smart devices. With the widespread adoption of mobile devices, and autonomous vehicles and cloud-connected cars just around the corner, the industry desperately needs solutions that can facilitate communication between the various systems that monitor, track and service cars now and in the future. With continually evolving commerce channels, deep market intelligence is now a requirement rather than an amenity.

Revenue Loss, High Return Rates, and InefficiencyThe significant IT investments required to modernize point-of-sale and legacy warehouse order management solutions make it difficult to share customer and vehicle information. Incorrect vehicle identification, lack of visibility between disparate systems, long order fulfillment cycles, and incorrect replacement parts are some of the factors contributing to high return rates, revenue loss and inefficiency within the industry. Mobile applications used to identify, track, and share vehicle and transaction information instantly with businesses improve accuracy, reduce operating costs and inefficiencies.

Mobile Commerce ChannelsFor business-to-business (b2b), the largest segment of the automotive aftermarket, frictionless marketplaces integrated with mobile solutions are rapidly changing modern distribution and parts commerce. “Facing disruption from e-commerce giants, aftermarket auto parts retailers are increasingly bringing their parts offerings online. Cars are lasting longer thanks to improvements in vehicle design. The average age of passenger (light) vehicles in the US is gradually ticking upward, driving demand for more frequent upkeep and more replacement parts.”

Connected Automotive WorldBlockchain technology, cloud computing, machine-device communications, telematics, artificial intelligence and connected car networks are revolutionizing the auto industry. Technological innovations are developing at an accelerated rate, causing a fundamental shift in the way businesses operate, engage, and transact - in turn creating new disruptive models. “While still in its very early stages, automakers like Toyota are looking to develop a blockchain verification system for the automotive supply chain. Implementing a blockchain system would allow automakers to prove authenticity on sourced parts and track faulty parts, which would help prevent recalls. A blockchain system would also create a centralized source that could synchronize data and transactions across the thousands of companies involved in the automotive supply chain without having to involve a third party.”

SHIFTMobility is ready with solutions across the Automotive Technology landscape.
