As the final data has become available for 2024 or 2024-25, we have just updated our Top 300 dealer group ranking for Europe.  This identifies by name 300 of the largest dealer groups (including combined distributor/dealers) in Europe.  It includes data on the brands they represent, the European markets or regions within which they operate, and the data or our best estimates on turnover and sales volumes.  In the webinar we will share insights into the profile of this elite ranking, how that has evolved over the last three years, and our thoughts on future trends.  For anyone planning a network or targeting a B2B sales effort in the dealer world, this is invaluable information.  The ranking and an accompanying commentary will be available shortly to buy (special rates apply to ICDP members).

Digital tools underpinned by AI are growing ever more pervasive across the automotive sector, with their impact being felt by customers in both their sales and aftersales journeys.  In this open webinar, we will be joined by Jayesh Jagasia, Commercial Director - Automotive & Mobility at MSX International, to explore how, behind the scenes, AI could transform franchise effectiveness for both OEMs and their dealers.

Research shows that customer experience and retail sales performance are strongly correlated. It is no surprise that automotive brands invest heavily to ensure that the retail experience aligns with the brand’s prescribed facility and customer experience standards. Yet, the traditional dealer standards audit - once-a-year on-site audits, heavy travel costs, and lagging reports - can’t keep up with the speed of today’s market. It’s expensive, reactive, and often leaves manufacturers flying blind for months at a time.

Rapidly evolving capabilities of AI have created new opportunities to rethink how retail standards audit programs are designed. Integrating AI into the standards audit workflow can improve auditor productivity and efficiency, while delivering real-time visibility, massive cost savings, and a much smaller carbon footprint. 

Join us for our upcoming webinar, Retail Standards Audits in the AI Age, where MSX International reveals how they are using AI to reimagine retail standards compliance audits from the ground up.
