The Indian automotive market is a diverse and dynamic landscape.
In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of dealerships managing multiple brands, catering to a wider customer base, and offering a broader range of vehicle options.

While this strategy offers significant business potential, it also presents unique challenges in managing operations efficiently.

Challenges Of Managing A Multi-Brand Automotive Dealership In India

  • Standardized Processes Across Brands: Each brand has its own set of service procedures, warranty policies, and customer communication protocols.

    • Ensuring consistent processes across different brands requires meticulous planning and a robust management system.

    • Online appointment scheduling, real-time service updates, and detailed repair invoices are becoming essential aspects of a positive after-sales experience.
