1,500 dealer programs in 27 markets Parts wholesale has the potential to significantly contribute to the total parts turnover of your business. However, the market is as complex and fragmented as it is profitable. Traditional OEM service channels are threatened by longer service intervals, shorter ownership cycles, increased fleet penetration and decreasing customer loyalty. At the same time, OEM franchised dealers face stiff competition from a broad range of players such as independent parts players, service chains and independent repairers all of them intent on seizing their share of the market. In order to protect and develop their business in this lucrative area, OEMs need a proactive approach. This includes maximizing efficiency, new pricing strategies, targeted marketing, dealer staff coaching and innovative distribution approaches. MSXI has developed a 360 solution based on decades of international practical experience. Our solutions help OEMs regain their leadership and generate growth by strengthening traditional parts wholesale channels and opening up new value creating opportunities. EMBRACE NEW CUSTOMER AND DISTRIBUTION MODELS. ROI 4:1 MSXI is the partner of choice for the majority of major premium and volume manufacturers looking at successfully developing their parts wholesale business. Our forward thinking team of automotive experts combines deep industry experience, intelligent core technologies and best practices to champion new ideas and ways of doing business. We currently run parts wholesale programs in 27 markets with more than 1,500 dealers growing their parts sales through a network of 300,000 independent repairers. In this strategic paper we summarize key challenges and share our professional insights on how to add value to your company and achieve a competitive advantage. The automotive market is undergoing a fundamental change with aftersales representing one of the industry s most important profit drivers. Once a car drives from the showroom, the competition for aftersales revenue already begins. Although many customers continue to believe that OEMs and genuine parts offer them higher quality, OEMs are increasingly competing against mature independent parts suppliers, wholesalers, repair shop chains and independent repair shops. More than ever before, OEMs need to ensure their quality service reputation and brand image in the parts wholesale segment.
In addition to an innovative distribution model, OEMs need to ensure an exceptional customer experience within their parts wholesale business. Aftersales customers demand the same quality support they received when buying their vehicle. Strategies include: A data infrastructure to help manage vehicles, customers and retail processes A customer-centric, multichannel sales and service network with differentiated offers Sales and service staff with the most up-to-date technical understanding of vehicles and their features New retail landscapes with the latest technology 3D configurators, video screens, etc. COLLABORATE TO TRANSFORM YOUR PARTS WHOLESALE LANDSCAPE. The good news is that OEMs are well positioned to compete in the parts wholesale business because of a highly developed retail network, standard processes, and a strong brand image. The key will be to combine these traditional retail network strengths (e.g. best sales locations and original parts) with an innovative distrbution strategy that unlocks higher margins. This requires a change in mindset in order to cross industry boundaries and launch a mutually beneficial collaboration model which results in better service for customers. Particularly in the 3+ year old vehicle market, OEMs can extend their brand ecosystem by developing an independent channel parts business. In this scenario, dealer networks act as wholesalers of genuine parts to independent partners, thereby increasing parts sales volumes and re-engaging with their customers. MSXI dedicated parts specialists help develop and implement the necessary business market strategy processes, people and technologies to align, engage and mobilize all collaboration partners. Our pay for performance model delivers a guaranteed minimum ROI of 4:1.
