Project Snapshot:
One of their clients, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, were looking for a solution to have a collated view of all their sales & service outlets along with their competition, all in a single place which would help the management decide future business strategies.
Such a collated system should ideally churn out assessed information about site location, condition of the building, infrastructural capabilities, showroom layout, products displayed & customer service standards for each of the outlet of FCA as well as their three other competitions. Obviously, the assessment had to be carried out with the help of a mystery shopper.
This requirement was handled by building a customized mobile app for the mystery shopper to analyze the key attributes, tag the location of each outlet using geo coordinates, rank the outlets on each categories & also prove them with real time photos.
An analysis and reporting application was put in place at the back end that collected information dynamically from the mobile app & displayed in visually readable format in the website, which was used by the FCA management team. This was complemented with an offline reporting mechanism to make sure the copies of reports were also available outside of the website.
Result
The custom application provided a detailed performance analysis report for FCA’s dealerships including network maps, evaluation of dealerships based on categories as well as the competitor brands in the market. This in turn helped them to analyze & make important decisions on their existing network of outlets.
