Your Reimagine Strategy has Inspired us

We are inspired by your vision for a world where human experience drives innovation. Where ownership experience is as important as the product you build. And where old models don’t dictate future possibilities.

Our vision of the future aligns with yours and importantly, we believe we have the experience to support you on your Reimagine journey over the next few years. Trust us to help you transform.

Chris Daplyn, Valtech UK's Managing Director, shares his thoughts on the Jaguar Land Rover Reimagine strategy in this short video:

We know that this evolution of the buying journey, particularly for modern luxury brands, is crucial. Within the next four years, millennials will account for 50% of the global luxury market and by 2035, Gen-Z shoppers (now aged between 5 - 25) will make up 40% of all luxury purchases. Currently they only account for 4% of global luxury spending. Your strategy is clear in your intent to capitalise on this trend and to digitise the buying journey where appropriate, innovating to leapfrog the competition. At Valtech we have strong experience in helping brands do this both in and out of category.

Our vision is clear… to become the creator of the world’s most desirable luxury vehicles and services for the most discerning of customers.

For BMW, we have developed a Digital Sales Advisor to provide a digital alternative to a physical visit to a dealer. More matchmaker than configurator, the tool helps users explore the range as they might on a forecourt to find which model is the best fit for them.

For Toyota we have built a global finance platform to enable consumers to get immediate finance approval on their car loan in order to create a seamless online buying experience direct from manufacturer.

The environment of young affluent shoppers, and how they interact with it, has changed the landscape of luxury shopping forever - navigating the path to purchase via a number of digital touchpoints. We have created platforms for big modern luxury brands that offer effortless convenience while ensuring a strong connection with the brand.

We fully respect the private nature of our luxury clients, so you'll appreciate we can't release all of the intimate details of the work we do for some of the world's best known luxury brands - these are enduring relationships that in many cases span over a decade.

In our 20+ year relationship with Luis Vuitton, we have completely transformed its retailing experience. From a store-based retail model with reliance on personal relationships to becoming a leader in integrated omni-channel customer experience.

As part of our partnership with MAC Cosmetics, we designed and created a new experience for their customers that not only changed the way they interacted with the brand, but the way also they tried on and purchased makeup for the foreseeable future. The innovation and technology we developed was described as “the next step in virtual retail” by Forbes.

As technology advances in the connected space, there is an ever-increasing range of things that a connected car ‘could’ do. The more important question is what the car ‘should’ do. What functions and services will fulfil a genuine human need and create a new ownership experience that enables you to leapfrog the competition.

Reimagine will design new benchmarks in quality and efficiency for the luxury sector.

Through Valtech Mobility we have been working with both Audi and Volkswagen to develop the interface and software that sits at the heart of their connected car service, and more importantly, help identify where that technology should go next.

Our mobility experience doesn’t stop at automotive. We work with airlines, airports, train operators and hotels all over the world and have dedicated verticals in automotive and travel. In the UK alone we work with clients such as easyJet, London North Eastern Railway (LNER), National Rail and the Department for Transport. We have a full understanding of modern mobility and have an incredibly deep understanding of consumer needs.

For the Department for Transport (DfT), we conducted in-depth customer research to help digitise the Blue Badge application process and turn it from the most complained about digital service operated by the DfT into one of the most efficient and well regarded. We are now working with DfT to understand how technology can enable smart parking for disabled customers and a government e-scooter service in city centres.

This rounded knowledge of the modern mobility consumer would bring interesting perspectives to the JLR mobility future.

Your reimagine strategy sets out a bold vision for the business to 2025. To reach that vision in a relatively short period of time, innovation around the customer experience and the ability to move at speed will need to sit at the heart of the Jaguar Land Rover business.

Collaborations and knowledge-sharing with industry leaders … will allow the company to explore potential synergies on clean energy, connected services, data and software development leadership
